The amount of employee benefits expense for the current period is

$12,500

Step-by-step explanation:

Belkin Co. provides medical care and insurance benefits to its retirees.

In the current year, Belkin agrees to contribute 5% of the employees’

$250,000 gross salaries to a retirement program

We need to find the amount of employee benefits expense for the

current period

To solve the problem

  • Find the percentage of the benefits
  • Multiply the percentage of benefits by the gross salary
  • The answer is the amount of employee benefits expense for the current period

∵ The benefits for the current year is 5%

∵ These benefits for the gross salaries of $250,000

∴ The amount of benefits = 5% × 250,000

∵ 5% = \frac{5}{100} = 0.05

∴ The amount of benefits = 0.05 × 250,000

∴ The amount of benefits = $12,500

The amount of employee benefits expense for the current period is

$12,500

The ratio of the number of dogs the number of cats is 4:5. There are 270 animals on the rescue Farm. The number of dogs is 4/5.
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

<em>Here is the complete question:</em>

The ratio of the number of dogs to the number of cats is 4:5. There are 270 animals on the rescue farm. for each of the following statements, explain whether statements is true or false and why:

a. The number of dogs is 4/5 the number of cats.

b. 4/5 of the pets at the farm are dogs.

c. There are exactly 30 more cats than dogs.

d. There are exactly 30 dogs at the farm.

e. 5/9 of the pets at the farm are cats.

a,c and e are true statements.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of dogs be "d' and number of cats be "c".

According to the question:

⇒ c+d=270   ...equation (i)

Arranging the ratio:

⇒ \frac{4}{5} = \frac{d}{c}

⇒ 4c=5d

⇒ c=(\frac{5}{4})d    ...equation (ii)

Plugging (ii) in equation (i).

⇒ c+d=270

⇒ \frac{5}{4} d+d=270

⇒ \frac{5d+4d}{4} =270

⇒ 9d=270\times 4

⇒ d=\frac{270\times 4}{9}

⇒ d=120

Number of dogs "d" = 120

Number of cats "c" = (270-120) = 150

Lets check each statement:

a.

The number of dogs is 4/5 the number of cats.

⇒ \frac{4}{5} \times 150

⇒ \frac{4\times 150}{5}

⇒ 120

Statement is true.

b.

4/5 of the pets at the farm are dogs.

⇒ \frac{4}{5} \times 270

⇒ 216

Number of dogs = 120

So the above statement is false.

c.

There are exactly 30 more cats than dogs.

⇒ c-d =30

⇒ 150-120=30

Statement is true.

d.

There are exactly 30 dogs at the farm.

False, as there are 120 dogs

e.

5/9 of the pets at the farm are cats.

⇒ \frac{5}{9} \times 270

⇒ 150

Statement is true.

So,

Statement  a,c and e are true as we could observe in the explanation.
