Answer:

a. The net pay is correct.

Explanation:

Suppose the missing part of the question which is the gross pay and the federal tax is 1020.00 and 107.00 respectively.

Then, Social Security tax 6.2% of the gross pay = $\dfrac{6.2}{100}\times 1020$

Social Security tax 6.2% of the gross pay = 0.062 × 1020

Social Security tax 6.2% of the gross pay = $63.24

the Medicare tax is 1.45% of gross pay = $\dfrac{1.45}{100} \times 1020$

the Medicare tax is 1.45% of gross pay = 0.0145 × 1020

the Medicare tax is 1.45% of gross pay = $14.79

the state tax is 19% of federal tax = $\dfrac{19}{100} \times 107$

the state tax is 19% of federal tax = 0.19 × 107

the state tax is 19% of federal tax = $20.33

Hence, to determine if Juanita's net pay is correct, we have the summation of all our estimated figures minus the gross pay.

i.e

Juanita's net pay = $1020 - $(107 + 63.24 + 14.79 + 20.33)

Juanita's net pay = $1020 - 205.36

Juanita's net pay = $814.64

Wattan Company reports beginning inventory of 10 units at $60 each. Every week for four weeks it purchases an additional 10 unit

qwelly [4]

Answer:

cost of goods available for sales= $3,180

Number of units= 50 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Wattan Company reports beginning inventory of 10 units at $60 each. Every week for four weeks it purchases an additional 10 units at respective costs of $61, $62, $65, and $70 per unit for weeks 1 through 4.

To calculate the cost of goods available for sales, we need to use the following formula:

cost of goods available for sales= beginning inventory + cost of goods purchase during the year

cost of goods available for sales= 10*60 + 10*61 + 10*62 + 10*65 + 10*70

cost of goods available for sales= $3,180

Number of units= 5*10= 50 units

The resort project would require a $20,500,000 investment. At the end of ten years, some of the equipment would have a salvage v

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Net present value

Explanation:

<u>Missing Information </u>

Weighted average cost of capital: 8% and Solve for net present value:

investment: project outlay 20,500,000 + increase in working capital 450,000

F10 salvage value: 300,000 + 450,000 liberate working capital

cahsflow per year income 1,111,000

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 1,111,000.00

time 10

rate 0.08

$1111000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.08)^{-10} }{0.08} = PV\\$

PV $7,454,900.4342

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity $750,000.00

time 10.00

rate 0.08000

$\frac{750000}{(1 + 0.08)^{10} } = PV$

PV 347,395.1161

Net present value

7,454,900 + 347,395 - 20,500,000 - 450,000 = -13.147.705

Basile [38]

Answer: a. FIFO to LIFO, but not LIFO to FIFO

Explanation:

Well the inventory changes which would likely be accounted for is the FIFO ( first in first out system ) to LIFO ( last in first out system ). But not the LIFO ( last in first out ) to FIFO ( first in first out ). This system are mostly used in sales where for FIFO the first goods to arrive leaves first and for LIFO the opposite of FIFO
