Answer:
$19,790
Explanation:
A taxpayer’s tax base for computing a self-employed taxpayer’s self-employment tax (i.e., net earnings from self-employment) is the taxpayer’s net business profit from Schedule C multiplied by 92.35%.
So, Alice’s net earnings from self-employment is her net profit from Schedule C of $150,000 x 92.35% = $138,525.
Alice will owe $15,773 ($127,200 maximum amount x 12.4%) in Social Security taxes and $4,017 ($138,525 x 2.9%) for the Medicare component of FICA taxes.
Alice owes total self-employment tax of $19,790 ($15,773 + $4,017).
She is not subject to additional Medicare tax because her net earnings from self-employment do not exceed $200,000.
Answer:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $77 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production:
Product A: 1,850 units
Product B: 1,250
Hours required:
Product A: requires 0.3 direct labor-hours per unit
Product B: requires 0.6 direct labor-hours per unit.
The total estimated overhead for the next period is $100,485.
First, we need to calculate the total amount of direct labor hours required:
Total direct labor hours= 0.3*1,850 + 0.6*1,250= 1,305 hour
To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 100,485/1,305= $77 per direct labor hour
