The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although the question seems to be incomplete because it does not provide any references, we can say that the cultural differences that are likely to arise between Costco US employees and local employees that are working in Australia Spain, and China are the result of totally different cultures, idiosyncrasies, customs, and traditions.
American customers are so different from Australian, Chinese, or Spanish consumers. What works in one country would not work in another. What is success in the US could be a failure in Spain. We are talking about different preferences, tastes, likes, and traditions.
That is why it is so important that Costco branches in other countries survey and understand local people's minds and tastes, so employees in each country can be trained in customer services, local preferences, assertiveness, human and business orientation, and many others.
Answer:
Bond,treasury
Explanation:
A bond refers to the contract between borrower and lender stipulating that the borrower must pay periodic interests and principal on specified dates .
The interest is also known as coupon payment has fixed rate usually quoted in the bond agreement which could be paid annually or semi-annually to te lenders.
Treasury refers to the bond issued by the national government such as the U.S government and carries a lower rate of return as the risk attached too is low ,hence lower risk brings about lower return since the government is not likely to default in discharging its obligations
An employer's federal payroll tax responsibilities include withholding from an employee's compensation and paying an employer's contribution for Social Security and Medicare taxes under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA).
Employers have numerous payroll tax withholding and payment obligations. Of the utmost importance is the proper payment of what are commonly known as FICA taxes. FICA taxes are somewhat unique in that there is required withholding from an employee's wages as well as an employer's portion of the taxes that must be paid.
The Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) is the federal law requiring you to withhold three separate taxes from the wages you pay your employees. FICA is comprised of the following taxes:
6.2 percent Social Security tax;
1.45 percent Medicare tax (the “regular” Medicare tax); and
Since 2013, a 0.9 percent Medicare surtax when the employee earns over $200,000.
You must withhold these amounts from an employee's wages.
The law also requires you to pay the employer's portion of two of these taxes:
6.2 percent Social Security tax
1.45 percent Medicare tax (the “regular” Medicare tax).
As you can see, the employer’s portion for the Social security tax and the regular Medicare tax is the same amount that you're required to withhold from your employees' wages. (Different rules apply for employees who receive tips.) There is no employer portion for the 0.9 percent Medicare surtax on high-earning employees.
In other words, you withhold a 6.2 percent Social Security tax from your employee’s wages and you pay an additional 6.2 percent as your employer share of the tax (6.2 employee portion + 6.2 employer portion = 12.4 percent total). Also, you withhold a 1.45 percent Medicare tax from your employee’s wages and you pay an additional 1.45 percent as your employer share (1.45 employee portion + 1.45 employer portion = 2.9 percent total). The total of all four portions is 15.3 percent (6.2 percent employee portion of Social Security + 6.2 percent employer portion of Social Security + 1.45 percent employee portion of Medicare + 1.45 percent employer portion of Medicare = 15.3 percent).
Unlike the other FICA taxes, the 0.9 percent Medicare surtax is imposed on the employee portion only. There is no employer match for the Medicare surtax (also called the Additional Medicare Tax). You withhold this 0.9 percent tax from employee wages and you do not pay an employer’s portion. Also, unlike the other FICA taxes, you withhold the 0.9 percent Medicare surtax only to the extent that wages paid to an employee exceed $200,000 in a calendar year. You begin withholding the surtax in the pay period in which you pay wages in excess of this $200,000 “floor” to an employee and you continue to withhold it each pay period until the end of the calendar year.
The buffers supplied to non-critical paths in critical chain project management are called Feeder buffers
A time buffer known as the project buffer is added at the conclusion of the critical chain to safeguard the entire project timeline. Its size can be determined by taking the square root of the total of the squared differences between the estimated task length at the beginning and the estimated task duration after it has been reduced.
Buffer Feeding The feeding buffer is a time buffer that is situated at the conclusion of a list of duties that come before the critical chain. Similar to how the project buffer size is determined, so is its size.
Buffering Resources Different from the earlier buffers is the resource buffer. It is not a time buffer, to begin with. It is a marker that is frequently placed on the critical chain to notify a resource that it is required.
