Answer:

The answer is: Employ her son in her sole proprietorship

Explanation:

If Tawana employs her son, she can deduct he $8,000 she gives him from her adjusted gross income. She would save $2,960 ($8,000 x 37%) from her income taxes. Sh would probably have to pay her son's taxes which are lower and add up to $1,200.

At the end Tawana would be saving $1,760 ($2,960 - $1,200) which is the difference between her tax rate and her son's tax rate.

Virty [35]

Answer:

70 tickets were sold to student and 130 tickets were sold to adults

Explanation:

Let the number of tickets purchased by students be "X" and the number of tickets purchased by adults  be "Y"

Given

Total number of tickets sold = 200

Total amount collected by selling 200 tickets = 1485 dollar

Cost of one ticket of student = 4.5 dollar

Cost of one ticket of adult = 9 dollar

Two equation are as follows

X + Y = 200\\ ------Eq (1)

4.5 X + 9 Y =1485 -------- Eq (2)

Multiplying eq (1) by 9 and subtracting from equation 2 we get

4.5 X - 9 X + 9Y -9Y = 1485 - (200* 9)\\-4.5 X = -315\\X = 70

Substituting the value of X in equation 1 we get

70 + Y = 200\\Y = 200 -70 \\Y = 130

Therefore, 70 tickets were sold to student and 130 tickets were sold to adults

Which of the following examples demonstrates the law of demand?A) Mary buys fewer Milky Ways at $0.80 per Milky Way after the pr
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": Kelvin buys more donuts at $0.80 per donut than at $0.95 per donut, other things equal.

Explanation:

The demand law states that if the price of a good or service decreases, the quantity demanded for that good or service will increase. On the other hand, if the price of a god or service increases, the quantity demanded will decrease. The price-quantity demanded of the demand law is inversely proportional, <em>ceteris paribus</em>.

Thus, Kelvin's case is an example of the demand law since he purchases more donuts when the price is lower ($0.80) and purchases fewer donuts when the price is higher ($0.95).

For 2013, the minimum standard deduction is $1,000, hence Stephanie is able to claim the greater of the following two: The minimum standard deduction of $1,000 or her earned income of $850 + $350 which is $1,200. Stephanie can claim $1,200

b) Reported $1500 - Claim $1,850

For 2013, the minimum standard deduction is $1,000, hence Stephanie is able to claim the greater of the following two: The minimum standard deduction of $1,000 or her earned income of $1500+ $350 which is $1,850. Stephanie can claim $1,850

c) reported $6,200 - Claim $6,200
