How do exports and imports affect a nation's economy?

1 answer:

6 0

We import goods from other countries when they are harder to make in ours, we export goods to other countries when the goods are harder to make or obtain in theirs. if a nation exports more than it imports, a surplus is created. When a country imports goods more than it exports, it creates a trade deficit. A trade deficit in a nation causes it to have to borrow from other countries in order to pay for the imports. On the other hand, a surplus is much healthier for the economy light of the fact that it boosts economic output.

Solve the problem using 6.2%, up to $128,400 for Social Security tax and using 1.45%, no wage limit, for Medicare tax.

bekas [8.4K]

$3878.55

Explanation:

Step 1 :

It is given that Kristy has a biweekly gross earnings of $1950.

Since it is bi-weekly payments there are 26 payments in the year.

Gross earnings per year = 1950 * 26 = $50,700

Step 2 :

It is given that the social security tax is 6.2% up to $128,400. Kristy's earnings of 50,700$ does not exceed the threshold $128,400, hence 6.2% of her entire income is subject to social security withholding.

Social security withholding = 6.2% of 50,700 = 6.2*50700/100 = $3143.40

Step 3 :

It is given that Medicare tax is 1.45% with no wage limit

Medicare withholding = 1.45% of 50,700 = 1.45*50700/100 = $735.15

Total withholding = Social Security withholding + Medicare withholding 3143.40 + 735.15 = $3878.55

Question 2: Allocating costs using ABC You have an ABC system with three pools number of cost driver units total cost in the poo

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

To calculate the activities rates, we need to use the following formula on each pool:

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

Pool 1= 20,000/10,000= $2 per direct labor dollar

Pool 2= 15,000/50= $300 per setup

Pool 3= 10,000/200= $50 per hour

Now, we can allocate costs to each product:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Product A:

Pool 1= 2*4,000= 8,000

Pool 2= 300*20= 6,000

Pool 3= 50 *50= 2,500

Total allocated costs= $16,500

Product B:

Pool 1= 2*6,000= 12,000

Pool 2= 300*30= 9,000

Pool 3= 50 *150= 7,500

Total allocated costs= $28,500

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The effect on sperm production will depend on the type of medication the person is taking, for example, in the case of antipsychotic medications, in addition to causing involuntary tremors, they block dopamine, a chemical of brain origin that helps with regular responses emotional and controls the brain centers responsible for gratification and pleasure. Similarly, the levels of the hormone prolactin increase, which can cause erectile dysfunction, decreased libido and difficulties reaching orgasm, as well as blocking the action of acetylcholine, which can cause problems in all areas of the body sexual function.

Another type of medications that cause involuntary tremors and that can affect sperm production are statins and fibrates, these medications are likely to interfere with the production of testosterone, estrogens and other sex hormones by affecting the availability of cholesterol, an essential component for certain hormones

Mr. and Mrs. Garcia have a total of $100,000 to be invested in stocks, bonds, and a money market account. The stocks have a rate

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let y amount be invested in bonds

Let x amount be invested in money account

Let x amount be invested in stocks

x = y + 3x

10,000 = 12/100(y+3x) + 8/100*y + 4/100*x

10,000 = 12(y+3x) + 8y + 4x / 100

10,000 * 100 = 12y+36x + 8y + 4x

2500 * 100 = 3y + 9x + 2y + x

250,000 = 5y + 10x

50,000 = y + 2x.......................(1)

x + y + z = $100,000

y + 3x + y + x = $100,000

2y + 4x = 100,000

y + 2x = 50,000.......................(ii)

y = 50,000 - 2x

x = 50,000 + x

z = z

2 Options are

{(x,y,x), (x2,y2,z2)}

= (50000, 50000) (60000, 30000, 10000)
