zysi [14]
Given:
130,500 net pay to employees
  19,000 income tax withholding
    5,000 FICA withholding

130,500 + 19,000 + 5,000 + 5,000 = 159,500

<span>The total wages and payroll tax expense to the company for this pay period, excluding any unemployment taxes, is $159,500.
</span>
The 5,000 is added twice because the first 5,000 is withheld from the employees salary as the employees share. The employer also has to pay off 5,000 as employer's share to the employee's FICA withholding. Thus, the presence of the 2nd 5,000. 

FICA, <span> Federal Insurance Contributions Act,</span> is composed of
1) <span>6.2 % Social Security tax;
2) <span>1.45 % Medicare tax (the “regular” Medicare tax); and
3) 0.9 % of a Medicare surtax starting 2013 for employees earning over $200,000.

A study reported that a 10% increase in the price of cigarettes would reduce consumption by 4% in the short-run and by 7.5% in t
Alja [10]

Answer:

Price elasticity of demand shows how much a 1% change in the price of a good or services changes the quantity demanded.

In the short run, a 10% increase in price decreases quantity demanded by 4%

PED short run = % change in price / % change in quantity = 4% / 10% = 0.4

PED long run = % change in price / % change in quantity = 7.5% / 10% = 0.75

Both PEDs are inelastic since they are less than 1, which means that an increase in price will result in a proportionally smaller decrease in the quantity demanded. But the PED in the long run is less inelastic, which means that an increase in price will decrease the quantity demanded more in the long than in the short run.

This happens because smokes consider that cigarettes are a basic necessity, so they are willing to purchase them even if the price increases. But as time passes (long run), more smokers will consider that it is not worth paying that much for cigarettes and will probably quit smoking or at least reduce the number of cigarettes they smoke per day.

As price has decreased, the amount of money needed to buy goods will decrease which would lead to less demand for money. Money demand curve will show this as a movement to the left of the Money demand curve.

e. The interest rate will decrease because there will be more money to invest as explained above. With more money to invest, loanable funds will b in high supply thereby dropping interest rates.

f. Aggregate expenditure shifts right to show that expenditure has increased from people buying cheaper goods.

g. Aggregate demand - B. AD shifts to the Right.
