I really dont no what your question is or your options but if you are trying to see how much is taken out per year you take $118,500 × 6.2%+1.45% and its a little over $7,347.01, and if you are trying to solve per pay check same thing but use 3,000 not 118,500 which is $186.01 taken out

Answer:

$31.00

Explanation:

Jay Ward  has cumulative earnings of $118,000 it means he has already been taxed on his earning on $118,000.

Difference  = $118,500 - $118,000

                   = $500

So on this paycheck only $2,500 of his earnings are taxable for social security tax.

Social security tax rate = 6.2%

Social security tax amount = 6.2% × 500

                                            = 0.062 × 500

                                            = $31

Therefore, the total amount of Social Security tax for this week is $31.00.

muminat

Answer:

$1,100

Explanation:

EBIT = Sales - Costs - Depreciation

       = $9,000 - $6,000 - $1,500

       = $1,500

Net income = EBIT - Tax @ 40%

                    = $1,500 - $600

                    = $900

Operating cash flow = Net income + Depreciation

                                  = $900 + $1,500

                                  = $2,400

Free cash flows:

= Operating cash flow - Increase in working capital - Capital expenditure

= $2,400 - $500 - $800

= $1,100

The following information is available regarding the total manufacturing overhead of Olsen Company for a recent four-month perio
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

$33,000

Explanation:

The calculation of the fixed cost and the variable cost per machine hour by using high low method is shown below:

Variable cost per hour = (High manufacturing overhead cost - low manufacturing overhead cost) ÷ (High machine hours - low machine hours)

= ($198,000 - $153,000) ÷ (110,000 hours - 80,000 hours)

= $45,000 ÷ 30,000 hours

= $1.5

Now the fixed cost is

= High manufacturing overhead cost - (High machine hours × Variable cost per hour)

= $198,000 - (110,000 hours × $1.5)

= $198,000 - $165,000

= $33,000

Suppose 6 months ago a Swiss investor bought a 6-month U.S. Treasury bill at a price of $9,708.74, with a maturity value of $10,
hoa [83]

Answer:

The annualized rate of return to the Swiss investor is -7.93%.

Explanation:

This is an instance of foreign currency bond.

Using the exchange rate of $1 = 1.420, purchase price of the bond is calculated as $9,708.74 x 1.420 = 13,786.4108 Swiss Francs

Using the exchange rate of $1 = 1.324, maturity value is $10,000 x 1.324 = 13,240 Swiss Francs

Holding period is 6 months.

So, annualized rate of return is: (Maturity amount - Purchase price)/Purchase price x 12 / No of months

Annualized rate of return is: (13,240 - 13,786.4108)/13,786.4108 x 12/6 = -0.079268028.

Annualized rate of return is -7.93% approximately.

If a borrower can afford to make monthly principal and interest payments of 1000 and the lender will make a 30 year loan at 5 1/
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

The the largest loan this buyer can afford is 14,533.75.

Explanation:

This can be determined using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

Step 1: Calculations of the present value or the loan the buyer can afford for a 30 year loan at 5 1/2%

PV30 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV30 = Present value or the loan the buyer can afford for a 30 year loan at 5 1/2% =?

P = monthly payment = 1000

r = interest rate = 5 1/2% = 5.50% = 0.055

n = number of years = 30

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV30 = 1000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.055))^30) / 0.055)

PV30 = 1000 * 14.5337451711221

PV30 = 14,533.75

Step 2: Calculation of the present value or the loan the buyer can afford for a 20 year loan at 4 1/2%

PV20 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (2)

Where;

PV30 = Present value or the loan the buyer can afford for a 20 year loan at 4 1/2% =?

P = monthly payment = 1000

r = interest rate = 4 1/2% = 4.50% = 0.045

n = number of years = 20

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV20 = 1000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.045))^20) / 0.045)

PV20 = 1000 * 13.0079364514537

PV20 = 13,007.94

Conclusion

Since 14,533.75 which is the present value or the loan the buyer can afford for a 30 year loan at 5 1/2% is greater than the 13,007.94 which is the present value or the loan the buyer can afford for a 20 year loan at 4 1/2%, it therefore implies that the the largest loan this buyer can afford is 14,533.75.
