How would you compare and contrast between employee rights and employment at will

Jean Michaud pays his two employees $900 and $1,200 per week. Assume a state unemployment tax rate of 5.7% and a federal unemplo

seraphim [82]

Answer:

The quarter has 3 months so all 15 weeks shall have following taxes:

Employee Wages Exempt under FUTA or SUTA

Employee 1

Wages = 15 week x 900 = 13.500

Exempt under FUTA or SUTA = 13,500 - 7,000 = 6.500

Employee 2

Wages = 15 week x 1200 = 18.000

Exempt under FUTA or SUTA = 18.000 - 7,000= 11000

From the above table.

The JM pays employee 1: 900 and employee 2: 1,200. For 15 weeks they were paid,

Employee I is paid, 900 x 15 weeks

= 13,500

Employee 2 is paid, 1200 x 15 weeks

= I 8,000

For employee 1,

= 13,500 - 7,000

Here, SUTA tax is 5.4% on the first 7,000 the employer pays an employee = 6500

For employee 2,

=18,000 - 7000

Here, the SUTA tax is 5.4% on the first 7000 the employer pays an employee =11000

The taxable wages are obtained by deducting.

= (13,500 +18000) - (6,500 +11,000)

= 31500 - 17500

= 14000

The SUTA and FUTA taxes that JM pays at the end of quarter 1 and 2 is, SUTA,

0.057 x 14,000 = $798

FUTA.

0.008 x 14000

= $112

Hence. The SUTA and FUTA taxes paid are $798 and $112 respectively.

An economy has 100 people divided among the following groups: 25 have full-time jobs, 20 part-time jobs, 5 has two part-time job

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

a. Labour Force = 70 people

Labour Force Participation Rate = 87.5%

b. Unemployed = 60 people

Unemployed Rate = 85.7 %

c. Total Employment

By Household Survey = 60 people

By Establishment Survey = 65 people

Explanation:

Given

Total number of People = 100

Full time = 25

Part time = 20

2 part time jobs = 5

Looking for job = 10

Not looking for job = 10

Business owners = 10

Retired = 10

Children = 10

a.

Labour Force = Total people in the economy - (Retired + Children + Not looking for job)

Labour Force = 100 - (10 + 10 + 10)

Labour Force = 100 - 30

Labour Force = 70 People

Labour Force Participation Rate is calculated by dividing the number of people actively participating in the labor force by the total number of people eligible to participate in the labor force

Number of active participant = Labour Force = 70

Number of eligible participants = 70 + 10 (discourage workers not looking for job)

Number of eligible participants = 80

Labour Force Participation Rate = 70/80

Labour Force Participation Rate = 0.875

Labour Force Participation Rate = 87.5%

b.

Unemployed People = Labour Force - 10 (people looking for job)

Unemployed People = 70 - 10

Unemployed People = 60 people

Unemployed Rate = Unemployed People/ Labour Force

Unemployed Rate = 60/70

Unemployed Rate = 0.857

Unemployed Rate = 85.7%

c.

Total Employment

I. Using Household Survey

Here, the number of people with source of income is counted

Total = Full-time +. Part time + 2 part time jobs + business owners

Total = 25 + 20 + 5 + 10

Total = 60 people

Ii. Using Establishment Survey

Here the number of jobs is counted. So, those with 2 part time job owners are counted as 5 * 2 jobs = 10

Total = Full-time +. Part time + 2 part time jobs + business owners

Total = 25 + 20 + 10 + 10

Total = 65 People

The problem with this survey is: <span>The sample is too small so it is a flawed sampling method
The survey with this kind of small number often does not represent the truth of the general recipients simply because it does not leave enough room for margin of errors.

From the list below, select the variable that will cause the demand curve to shift: A. The number of firms in the market B. Th

butalik [34]

Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Consumer income is one of the main determinant of demand. Consumer income is related with the demand of normal and inferior good.

If there is an increase in the income of a consumer then as a result the demand for a normal good increases and shifts the demand curve rightwards.

If there is a fall in the income of the consumer then as a result the demand for a normal good also decreases and shifts the demand curve leftwards.

Alternatively, the consumer income is inversely related with the demand for inferior goods.

Using a financial calculator, we can determine the internal rate of return of this investment. The initial outlay is -$110,000, and the 60 $4,800 cash flows follow. The IRR is 3.93 per month. In order to determine the effective annual rate, we can use the following formula:

effective annual rate = (1 + 3.93%)¹² - 1 = 58.81%
