<span>Mike will earn $2,400,000 for the year. Social security withholds 6.2% which equals $148,800, though Social security has a maximum base amount of $118,500. So the total amount withheld for Social Security will be $118,500. Medicare withholds 1.45% which equals $34,800. So the total amount withheld for Medicare will be $34,800. The total withheld from both Social Security and Medicare would be $153,300.</span>
Answer:
The present value of the contract is 0.5% higher if the rent is paid at the beginning of the month. That is equal to $11.28 for every $100 of rent.
Explanation:
if the rent is paid at the beginning of the month, the present value of the lease contract will be:
PV = monthly rent x PV annuity due factor
we are not given the monthly rent, but we know the PV annuity due factor for 0.5% and 24 periods = 22.67568
if the rent is paid at the end of the month, the PV = monthly rent x PV ordinary annuity factor
the PV ordinary annuity factor, 0.5%, 24 periods = 22.56287
assuming that the rent is $100 (just to calculate a %), the PV of an annuity due = $2,267.57
the PV of an ordinary annuity = $2,256.29
the difference between them = [($2,267.57 / $2,256.29) - 1] x 100 = 0.5%

Answer:
predetermined overhead rate: 14.51 dollars per labor hour
applied overhead at 18,500 hours: 268,435 dollars
Explanation:

we distribute the expected overhead over the cost dirver. In this case direct labor hour:
cost driver: labor hours:
labor cost: 231,322 / 12.71 labor rate = 18,200 labor hours
<u>expected overhead:</u>
depreciaiton 53,500
supervisor 135,000
supplies 42,900
property tax 32,750
total overhead 264,150
overhead rate: 264,150 / 18,200 = 14,51373626373626 = 14.51/hr.
applied: 18,500 x 14.51 = 268.435
Answer:
Russian Economy will grow by 14.46 times using 9% per year growth for 31 years.
Explanation:
Growth Rate = g = 9% = 0.09
Number of years = n = 31 years
Number of time economy grow = ( 1 + growth rate )^number of years
Number of time economy grow = ( 1 + g )^n
Number of time economy grow = ( 1 + 0.09 )^31
Number of time economy grow = 14.46 times
So, Russian Economy will grow by 14.46 times using 9% per year growth for 31 years.
