Answer:

1. Yes

2. $7,400

Explanation:

Basic Rules For Estimated Tax For Individuals

Any individual who has estimated tax for the year of $1,000 or more and  whose withholding does not equal or exceed the “required annual payment” must make quarterly payments. Otherwise, a penalty may be assessed. The required annual payment is the smaller of the following amounts:  

1.Ninety percent of the tax shown on the current year's return.  

2.One hundred percent of the tax shown on the preceding year's return (the return must cover the full 12 months of the preceding year). If the AGI on the preceding year's return exceeds $150,000 ($75,000 if married filing separately), the 100% requirement is increased to 110%.

Are Paula and Simon required to increase their withholdings or make estimated tax payments this year to avoid the underpayment penalty?

Following the basic rules above, yes, Paula and Simon have to increase their withholdings or make estimated tax payments this year to avoid the underpayment penalty.

If so, how much?

Amount of income tax liability = $218,000

In general, taxpayers must pay at least 90 percent of their tax bill during the year to avoid an underpayment penalty when they file.

Therefore Minimum estimated payments-90% : $218,000 * 0.9 = $196,200

110% of the preceding year's tax: $182,000 * 1.10 = $200,200

According to the basic rules the required annual payment is the smaller which is $196,200.

Tax withholding from their employers = $188,800

Estimated tax payments required = $196,200 - $188,800 = $7,400

1. A useful characteristic of money is that money
Virty [35]

Answer:

O A. allows us to compare the values of goods and services.

Explanation:

Money has three primary functions which include a medium of exchange, unit of account,  and store of value.

As a unit of account, money is used to give value to other assets. In other words, money provides a medium through which assets and products are valued.  Money is divisible into smaller units which makes its application in valuation easy.

The value of goods and services is expressed in monetary terms.  Buyers and seller, therefore, can determine how much is needed to transact.

Cash donations to public charities are limited to % of a taxpayer's AGI? Cash donations can be deducted to a maximum of 60% of your AGI.

Donations of capital gain property to public charities are generally limited to % of a taxpayer's AGI? If you hold the assets (whether stock or property) for more than one year, donations can be deducted (at fair market value) to a maximum of 30% of your AGI.

Why do neoclassical economists tend to put relatively more emphasis on long-term growth than on fighting recession?
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. standard of living is ultimately determined by long-term growth.

Explanation:

The long-term path for economic growth is a fundamental issue of the study of the economy. The increase in the GDP of a country is usually considered as an increase in the standard of living of its inhabitants. Over long periods of time, even small annual growth rates, can have a significant effect. Thanks to its conjugation with other factors.

An annual growth rate of 2.5% would lead to GDP doubling over a period of 30 years. While an annual growth rate of 8%, it would lead to the same phenomenon in a period of only 10 years. Example: Some countries like Asian tigers. When a population increases to see improvements in living standards, GDP has to grow faster than that population. This analysis seeks to understand why there are very different rates of economic growth in some regions of the world.
