Answer:
See Below
Explanation:
Expected value is the sum of the products of the probability and payoff of each.
<u>Wager 1:</u>
probability of heads and tails, both is 0.5
Win = 440
Loose = 110
So,
Expected Value = 440(0.5) + (-110)(0.5) = 220 - 55 = $165
<u>Wager 2:</u>
Similar to wager 1
Win = 770
Loose = 220
So,
Expected value = 770(0.5) + (-220)(0.5) = 385 - 110 = $275
2nd wager is better, in this sense.
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:
the final payment that investor would received is $11,843.36
Explanation:
The computation of the final payment that investor would received is shown below:
Adjusted face value is
= 10,000 × (1 + 2.5%)^(3 × 2)
= 11,596.93
Final payment = Coupon + adjusted principal
= 11596.93 × 4.25% ÷ 2 + 11,596.93
= $11,843.36
hence, the final payment that investor would received is $11,843.36
Answer:
$7,580
Explanation:
In April of this year, Tim paid $1,160 with his state income tax return for the previous year.
Tim had $5,200 of state income tax
Tim made estimated payments of $1,220 of state tax.
Therefore:
$1,160 + $5,200 +$1,220=$7,580
Tim can deduct the state taxes paid with state income tax return for the previous year, state tax which was withheld during the year, and estimated payments of state tax, a total of $7,580 in which the expected refund next year will not affect the deductions for this year, due to the fact that it may be taxable next year under the tax benefit rule.
