Answer:

When a taxpayer has an underpayment of estimated tax or fall behind on his/her tax prepayment, then he/she is required to pay a penalty on Form 2210. This penalty is called underpayment penalty.

According to the tax laws, Mr. P and Ms. S can avoid an underpayment penalty if their withholding's and estimated tax payments equal or exceed one of the following two safe harbors:

  • 90 percent of current tax liability ($200,000 x 90% = $180,000)
  • 110 percent of previous year tax liability (110% x $170,000 = $187,000)

From the above calculation, it is clear that Mr. P and Ms. S's withholding's ($175,000) do not equal or exceed the amount of two safe harbors. So, they need to increase their withholding's or make estimated payments to avoid underpayment penalty.

If Mr. P and Ms. S increase their withholding's by $5,000 or make estimated payments of $1,250

per quarter ($5000/4), they can avoid the underpayment penalty.

Mr. Paula and Simon average gross income is greater than $150,000, so 110% is taken.

Answer:

yes they are required to increase their withholding tax by $5000

Explanation:

Paula and Simon will have to increase their withholding or make estimated tax payments to avoid underpayment penalty if the fall inside these two categories

current tax withheld for current year ≤ 90% of the current tax liability or

current tax withheld ≤ 110% of the previous year tax liability

current tax liability = $200000

last year tax liability = $170000

tax withheld = $175000

90% of $200000 = $180000:  Is  greater than tax withheld ( $175000 )

110% of $170000 = $187000 :   Is greater than tax withheld ( $175000 )

To avoid underpayment penalty Paula and Simon should increase their withholding by at least $5000 or make estimated quarterly payments of $1250

What will happen to the current ratio if current assets increase, while everything else remains unchanged?
Nana76 [90]

The current ratio will increase if current assets increase, while everything else remains unchanged.

This is further explained below.

<h3>What is the current ratio?</h3>

Generally, A liquidity ratio that evaluates a company's capacity to pay short-term debts or those that are due within the next year is called the current ratio.

It explains to investors and analysts how a business may get the most out of the current assets that are shown on its balance sheet in order to pay off its current debt and any other payables.

A current asset is defined as any asset that a company can reasonably expect to sell, consume, or deplete through the normal operations of the business inside the current financial year or an operating cycle, or an economic year.

In other words, a current asset is an asset that will be sold, consumed, or exhausted.

In conclusion, If current assets continue to grow while everything else stays the same, the current ratio will continue to show an upward trend.

Georgia [21]

Answer: $135.66

Explanation:

Given that,

Revenue earned in October = ​$550,000

Number of customers = 300

Operating costs:

Manager's Salary = ​$5,500

Gym Rent = ​1,800

Depreciation Expense long dash Equipment = ​7,000

Office Supplies Expense = ​2,300

Utilities Expense = ​1,600

Trainer's Salary = ​22,500

Therefore,

Unit cost per​ customer = \frac{Sum\ of\ all\ operating\ costs}{no.\ of\ customers}

                                      = \frac{5,500+1,800+7,000+2,300+1,600+22,500}{300}

                                      = $135.66
