Answer: e) $6,506.04

Explanation:

Employees do not pay FUTA or SUTA. Employers pay those.

Ms. Grant's net pay for the month therefore is;

= Gross earnings - FICA Social Security - FICA Medicare - Federal Income tax withheld

= 8,588 - (6.2% * 8,588) - ( 1.45% * 8,588) - 1,424.97

= 8,588 - ‭532.46 - ‭124.53 - 1,424.97

= $6,506.04‬

balandron [24]

Answer:

Book value= $302,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $460,000

Salvage value= $65,000

Useful life= 5 years

<u>First, we need to calculate the annual depreciation.</u>

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (460,000 - 65,000) / 5

Annual depreciation= $79,000

<u>Now, the accumulated depreciation after 2 full years:</u>

Accumulated depreciation= 79,000*2= $158,000

<u>Finally, the book value:</u>

Book value= purchase price - accumulated depreciation

Book value= 460,000 - 158,000

Book value= $302,000

Hi I need 3 sentences abo8ut why you should buy the tesla stock
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

1. The world is shifting to electric vehicles

2. The business is over the profitability hump

3. Optionality could lead to massive new sources of revenue

Explanation

THE EXPLANATION FOR NUMBER 1: In the first half of 2021, global electric vehicle (EV) sales were 2.6 million units. It doesn't sound like a lot. But unit growth was up 160% over the same period last year. That's more than six times faster than the overall auto market.

THE EXPLANATION FOR NUMBER  2:In 2017, famed investor Jim Chanos said about Tesla: "We think the equity is worthless." As silly as the projection looks in hindsight, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has since admitted that the company was about a month away from bankruptcy at the time. Those days are long gone. The company is now solidly profitable with industry-leading gross margins.

EXPLANATION FOR NUMBER 3:

While the company should be praised for the turnaround, many shareholders have their eyes fixed on new markets the company could disrupt. Led by sanguine analysis from Cathie Wood's ARK Invest, and the stock's inclusion in several of ARK's high-profile exchange-traded funds, Tesla now sports a market capitalization of $777 billion.

You invest $1,000 in a complete portfolio. The complete portfolio is composed of a risky asset with an expected rate of return o
gladu [14]

Answer:

The rate of return on the risky asset is 16% and on treasury bill is 6% and we need a return of (1100-1,000)/1000= 10% or 0.1

If we think of x as the percentage investment in risky asset and 1-x as the investment in non risky asset we can mathematically find what proportion we need to invest in each asset to get this return.

16x+ 6(1-x)=10

16x+6-6x=10

10x=4

x=4/10

x= 0.4

This equation tells us that we should invest 40% in risky assets and 1-x which is 60% in treasury bills. We can test our answer by putting these values and see if the return is 10 %

(0.4*16)+(0.6*6)= Rate of return

Rate of return=10%

10% of 1000 = 100

100+1000=$1100

¿Qué es la Biblia y qué significa?
miss Akunina [59]
The Bible is a religious text used by all Christians because it is supposed to be the word of god handed down by Abraham and Moses and in the second testimony (part, which jews don’t believe) it is written primarily by Jesus’ disciples. It matters because it is suppose to be what values the most to believers of Jesus and/or God.
