Answer: The correct answer is <u>$150.</u>

Explanation:  

We know that the marginal cost of hiring a third worker is $ 40. And that the average total cost when 3 workers are hired is $ 50. The average total cost formula is:

Average total cost = (total cost) ÷ (number of workers)

Then we solve the equation in 3 steps:

1) $ 50 = X ÷ 3

2) $ 50 × 3 = X

3) $ 150 = X

We can diagram the workers cost chart

Number of workers - Marginal cost - Total cost

              1                -         $60         -     $60

              2               -         $50         -     $110  

              3               -         $40         -     $150

Maru [420]

Answer:

The common stockholders will receive a dividend of $100000 in 2015

Explanation:

The preferred stock is non cumulative which means that in case it does not pay dividends in a certain year, the dividends will no be accumulated and the company will not be obliged to pay these dividends in later year.

The per share preferred stock dividend for the company is = 100 * 0.06 = $6

The total dividends on preferred stock per year = 6 * 25000 = $150000

The common stockholders are paid dividends after the preferred stockholders are paid.

Thus, for 2015 the common stockholders will receive a dividend of,

Common stock dividend = 250000 - 150000 = $100000

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Ruby should go to college.

Explanation:

Ruby is currently 50 years old and earning $50,000 per year.  

She would like to retire at 67.  

She is thinking of going back to college, to complete a graduate degree.

After completing a graduate degree from the college she would earn $55,000.

The total cost of a graduate degree is $75,000.  

Ruby still has 17 years to work and earn.  

Her income will increase by $5,000 after college

The increase in income earned after college until retirement

= $5,000 \times 17

= $85,000

Since the increase in income is greater than the cost of going to college, Ruby should go to college.

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The journal entry to record payroll for the January 2013 pay period will include a debit to payroll tax expense of $6,760

Explanation:

In order to calculate The journal entry to record payroll for the January 2013 pay period we would have to calculate the payroll tax expense as follows:

payroll tax expense=Federal unemployment tax rate+(Social security tax rate+medicare tax rate)*Salaries

Federal unemployment tax rate=$80,000*0.80%

Federal unemployment tax rate=$640

(Social security tax rate+medicare tax rate)*Salaries= (6.2%+ 1.45%)*$80,000

(Social security tax rate+medicare tax rate)*Salaries=$6,120

Therefore, payroll tax expense=$640+$6,120

payroll tax expense=$6,760

The journal entry to record payroll for the January 2013 pay period will include a debit to payroll tax expense of $6,760
