His net pay is $328.16.

The first step is to calculate Jerome’s salary.

Regular time - 40 x $7.80 = $312

Overtime - 5 x $7.80 x 1.5 = $58.50

Total Salary = $312 + 58.50 = $370.50

The next step is to calculate the deductions:

Social security = 370.50 x .062 = $22.97

Medicare = 370.50 x .0145 = $5.37

Federal Income Tax = $14

Total Deductions = 22.97 + 5.37 + 14 = $42.34

$370.50 - $42.34 = $328.16

Feliz [49]

Answer: 7%

Explanation:

Given data:

P = $5,000

r = ?

t = 40years

i = $1,000,000

Solution:

NFW = 0 = -$5000 ( F/A , i , 40 ) + $1,000,000

( F/A , i , 40 ) = $1,000,000 / $5,000

= 200

From compound interest table

( F/A , 7% , 40 ) = 199.636

Therefore the return for the investment would be 7%

diamong [38]

Answer:

$3,225

Explanation:

The computation of the amount reported as an ending inventory is shown below:

Date Particulars Units   Cost Amount                

1 -1        Op Balance     1,000         $1            $1,000  

1 -7         Purchases      600          $3             $1,800

Total                              1,600    $1.75         $2,800  

                                              ($2,800 ÷ 1,600 units)  

1 -20 COGS           900      $1.75            $1,575

Total                              700     $1.75            $1,225

1 -25       Purchases     400     $5                 $2,000

Ending inventory         1,100    $2.9318       $3,225

                                                  ($3,225 ÷ 1,100 units)  

We simply added the purchase units with the opening balance and deduct the cost of goods sold units from the opening balance so that the correct ending inventory amount could arrive

A real estate agent is considering changing her land line phone plan. There are three plans to choose from, all of which involve
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

PLAN A:

(120 * 0.39) + (40 * 0.19) + 20 = $74.40

PLAN B:

(120 * 0.49) + (40 * 0.14) + 20 = $84.40

PLAN C:

$20 + $75 = $95 ;

PLAN A is optimal from 0 to 192 minutes

PLAN C is optimal from 192 minutes onward ;

Explanation:

PLAN A :

Service charge = $20

Daytime = $0.39 per minute

Evening = $0.19 per minute

PLAN B :

Service charge = $20

Daytime = $0.49 per minute

Evening = $0.14 per minute

PLAN C :

Service charge = $20

225 minutes = $75

Minutes beyond 225 = $0.36 per minute

A.)

Determine the total charge under each plan for this case: 120 minutes of day calls and 40 minutes of evening calls in a month.

PLAN A:

(120 * 0.39) + (40 * 0.19) + 20 = $74.40

PLAN B:

(120 * 0.49) + (40 * 0.14) + 20 = $84.40

PLAN C:

$20 + $75 = $95

b. If the agent will use the service for daytime calls, over what range of call minutes will each plan be optimal?

PLAN A:

20 + 0.39D = 95

0.39D = 95 - 20

D = 75 / 0.39

D = 192.31

ou currently own 10 percent of the 3.0 million outstanding shares of Webster Mills. The company has just announced a rights offe
REY [17]

Answer: 9.09% ownership

Explanation:

Your current ownership of the shares in Webster Mills is 10% of 3 million.

That means that you own,

= 10% * 3 million

= 300,000 shares.

The new offering that the company is doing equates one right to each share of existing stock and is expected to raise $12 million in new financing at a cost of $40. The goal is to find out how many new shares this will add.

= 12,000,000/40

= 300,000 shares

This means that 300,000 new shares will be added.

There are already 3,000,000 shares outstanding and now there are 300,00 extra which would bring the total to,

= 3,000,000 + 300,000

= 3,300,000 outstanding shares.

Since you sold your rights then you still have shares but now your percentage of ownership will change because of the increase in outstanding shares.

Your ownership percentage is now,

= 300,000 shares (that you own) / 3,300,000 (new outstanding balance)

= 0.0909

= 9.09%

Your new ownership position is that you own 9.09% of Webster Mills.

Karolina [17]

Answer:

Letter A is correct. <u>Fostering competition.</u>

In this case, it is correct to say that small businesses are fostering competition.

Competition in the business world can be defined as a situation where two or more companies that supply products are rivals in the quest to conquer the same market and the same customers.

Large companies often have some dominance and influence over the market, which means that they impose various barriers to market entry by other competing companies, especially if they are micro-companies. In the case of the above question, when there are a large number of small companies looking to establish themselves in a specific niche in the market, due to possible retaliation by large companies, together, they are exerting an influence on the market that promotes competition.
