Answer: above-average profits

Explanation: In the given case, while making the change in the operations the managements anticipated an increase in profit by 125 max. These types of anticipations are done by the managers on the basis of past records or the current existing trends.

Usually under such situations the management tries to take average of the anticipated figures so that expectations of take holders would not get high too much.

Hence the increase of 19% depicts that the profit increased by more than the average level as anticipated by the managers.

Delvig [45]

Answer:

Pharaoh will have to pay $1,084.47 for every outstanding bond that it retires.

Explanation:

if the market rate is 9.5%, then the price of outstanding bonds is:

PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 4.75%)¹⁴ = $522.21

PV of coupon payments = $55 x 10.22283 (PV annuity factor, 4.5%, 14 periods) = $562.26

market price = $1,084.47

John Jansen, an employee of Redwood Company, had gross earnings for the month of May of $4,000. FICA taxes are 7.65% of gross ea
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

The net pay for John Jansen is $2894

Explanation:

For calculating the net pay for John Jansen we have to subtract all the FICA taxes and federal income taxes and also state income taxes, with authorized voluntary deductions also being subtracted from the gross earnings .

Given information -          Gross earning                         = $4000

                                         FICA taxes                                = 7.65%

                                         Federal income taxes               = $675

                                         State income taxes                    = 3%

                                       Authorized voluntary deductions = $5

One important to remember here is that FICA taxes and State taxes would be calculated on the gross earnings of John

FICA taxes = 7.65% of $4000

                  = .0765 x $4000

                  = $306

State taxes = 3% of $4000

                   = .03 x $4000

                   = $120

NET PAY = gross earnings - FICA tax - state tax - federal income tax -

                                                         authorized voluntary deduction

   = $4000 - $306 - $120 - $675 - $5

   = $2894

Blababa [14]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:

For Cutting department

= Variable manufacturing overhead per machine hour + (Total fixed manufacturing overhead ÷ machine hours)

= $2 + ($264,000 ÷ 48,000)

= $2 + $5.50

= $7.50

For finishing department

= Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labour + (Total fixed manufacturing overhead ÷ direct labor hours)

= $4 + ($366,000 ÷ 30,000)

= $4 + $12.20

= $16.20
