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

A mother earned $ 18750.00 18750.00 from royalties on her cookbook. She set aside 20% of this for a down payment on a new home

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

a) $ 5000, $ 10000 b) $ 5000

Explanation:

The royalties money = $18750

She set aside 20% for new home which = 0.2 × 18750 = $ 3750

Amount remaining = 18750 - 3750 = $15000

She invested a sum in a bank certificate of deposit

let the amount invested in bank certificate = y

profit from the investment in the bank = 0.04y

second investment amount = 15000 - y

profit of investment = 0.07 ( 15000 - y)

sum of the two profit = 0.04y + 0.07 (15000 - y) = total profit = $ 900

0.04y + 0.07 (15000 - y) = 900

open the bracket and rearrange the equation

0.04y + 1050 - 0.07y = 900

0.04y - 0.07y = 900 - 1050

-0.03y = -150

divide both side by -0.03

y = -150 / -0.03 = $ 5000

The amount of money invest at 4% is $5000

The amount of money invested at 7% = 15000 - 5000 = $10000

The amount of money invested in CD account = $ 5000

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

James Madison is known as the Father of the Constitution, and he worked very hard to limit the powers of the government branches, so that no government branch would be more powerful than the other two. He was a great supporter of the Bill of Rights, which also limited the power of the government towards the citizens of the nation.

A ___ in the money supply will cause interest rates to decrease which in turn causes spending to come ?

vitfil [10]

Answer:

decrease/decrease

Explanation:

The interest rate is a monetary mechanism that serves to keep inflation under control. Inflation is a monetary phenomenon, caused by excess currency in circulation. Thus, the more money in circulation, the higher the interest rate tends to be. Conversely, when the money supply is smaller, inflation will be lower. Consequently, the interest rate will be low. Similarly, when the money supply is high, spending on the economy increases (and causes inflation). When the money supply is low, less money will be in circulation and spending will decrease. Inflation will be low. And the interest rate too!

exis [7]

Answer:

Effective tax rate =28.50 %

Explanation:

given data

Net Income before taxes = $2,00,000

Interest revenue = $20,000

Life insurance Premium = $10,000

tax rate = 30%

to find out

Fern's effective tax rate

solution

first we get here Taxable Income that is express as

Taxable Income = Net Income before taxes + Life insurance Premium - Interest revenue ........................1

put here value we get

Taxable Income = $2,00,000 + $10,000 - $20,000

Taxable Income = $190000

so

Income tax Liability will be

Income tax Liability = Taxable Income × Tax rate .....................2

Income tax Liability = $190000 × 30%

so Effective tax rate will be

Effective tax rate = $\frac{Income\ tax\ Liability}{Net\ Income}$

Effective tax rate = $\frac{57000}{200000}$

Effective tax rate =28.50 %
