Answer:

c.

6.1 percentage points.

Explanation:

Ratio shows proportion of a number to other number or sum of all the numbers. Percentage is a ratio which is expressed as fraction of 100.

Human Life Worth = $9 million = $9,000,000

Spending on Fighting initiative = $550,000

Take ratio of spending by the worth of human life

Ratio = Spending / Worth = $550,000 / $9,000,000 = 0.061 = 6.1%

It reduces the risk of someone dying from crime by at least 6.1%.

Calculate Payroll An employee earns $44 per hour and 1.5 times that rate for all hours in excess of 40 hours per week. Assume th
Ket [755]

Answer:

The correct answer for option (a) is $3,080 and for option (b) is $2,141.

Explanation:

(a). Current pay = $44

After 40 hours, Pay = $44 × 1.5 = $66

So, we can calculate the gross pay by using following formula:

Gross pay = (40 hours × $44 ) + (20 hours × $66)

= $1,760 + $1,320

= $3,080

(b).

Security Tax = Gross pay × 6% =  $3,080 × 6% = $184.8

Medicare Tax = Gross pay × 1.5% =  $3,080 × 1.5% = $46.2

Federal Income Tax = $708

So, we can calculate the net pay by using following formula:

Net Pay = $3,080 - $184.8 - $46.2 - $708

= $2,141

Assume that Juanita is indifferent between investing in a corporate bond that pays 12.00 percent interest and a stock with no gr
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Juanita's marginal tax rate is 42.5%

Explanation:

marginal tax rate = MTR

After tax yield of dividend paying stock is 8.1% * (1-0.15) = 0.069 = 6.9%

The after tax yield of the bond will be 6.9%

Therefore,

6.9% = 12.0% * (1 - MTR)

6.9% = 12.0% - 12.0% *MTR

6.9% - 12.0% = -12.0% * MTR

-0.051 = -0.12*MTR

MTR = 0.051/0.12 = 0.425

MTR = 42.5%

belka [17]

Direct materials         $2.25

Direct labor                   1.00

Incremental overhead 0.75

Total relevant cost   $4.00

1-b. Xia should make the part.  It will cost Xia $4.00 to make the component while it costs it $5.00 to buy.  It should therefore, make the component.

a) Data and Calculations:

Price of buying component = $5

Cost of making component:

Direct materials         $2.25

Direct labor                   1.00

Incremental overhead 0.75

Total relevant cost    $4.00

b) The relevant cost for making the component is $4.00.  The overhead cost based on 200% direct labor is not a relevant cost.  It is an allocated fixed cost and must be incurred whatever decision is taken.  By making the component, Xia Co. will be netting in a unit contribution of $1 ($5.00 - $4.00) with the alternative of buying.
