Alice is single and self-employed in 2019. Her net business profit on her Schedule C for the year is $150,000. What is her self-

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

$19,790

Explanation:

A taxpayer’s tax base for computing a self-employed taxpayer’s self-employment tax (i.e., net earnings from self-employment) is the taxpayer’s net business profit from Schedule C multiplied by 92.35%.

So, Alice’s net earnings from self-employment is her net profit from Schedule C of $150,000 x 92.35% = $138,525.

Alice will owe $15,773 ($127,200 maximum amount x 12.4%) in Social Security taxes and $4,017 ($138,525 x 2.9%) for the Medicare component of FICA taxes.

Alice owes total self-employment tax of $19,790 ($15,773 + $4,017).

She is not subject to additional Medicare tax because her net earnings from self-employment do not exceed $200,000.

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

B. more than zero if no products were made and would then increase in direct proportion to output

Explanation:

Semi-fixed Cost will be "more than zero if no products were made and would then increase in direct proportion to output."

This is because a semi-fixed cost also known as semi-variable cost or mixed cost is a combination of both a fixed factor and a variable factor.

Such that if production was zero some costs would still be incurred. However, as output rises, the variable part of the costs will rise in direct proportion to output.

Baka Corporation applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the most recent year, th

melomori [17]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Baka Corporation applies manufacturing overhead based on direct labor-hours.

The company based its predetermined overhead rate on total estimated overhead of $243,300 and 8,300 estimated direct labor-hours.

Actual manufacturing overhead for the year amounted to $244,400 and actual direct labor-hours were 5,800.

To determine the over or under application of manufacturing overhead, first, we need to calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate:

predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated manufacturing overhead for the period/ total amount of allocation base

predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 243,000/8,300= 29.28

Now, we can calculate the allocated overhead:

Allocated manufacturing overhead= predetermined manufacturing overhead rate* actual hours= 29.28*5800= $169,824

Finally, we can determine the under or over allocation:

Under/over allocation= real manufacturing overhead - allocated manufacturing overhead= 244400 - 169824= $74,576 underallocated
