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

If the MPC is 0.75 and there are no crowding-out or accelerator effects, then an initial increase in aggregate demand of $100 bi
umka21 [38]

Answer:

c. $400 billion

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what an initial increase in aggregate demand of $100 billion will eventually shift the aggregate demand curve to the right

First step is to calculate the GDP Multiplier

Using this formula

GDP Multiplier=1/(1-MPC)

Let plug in the formula

GDP Multiplier=1/1-0.75

GDP Multiplier=1/0.25

GDP Multiplier=4

Now let determine the shift in aggregate demand curve

Shift in aggregate demand curve=4*100 billion

Shift in aggregate demand curve= $400 billion

Therefore an initial increase in aggregate demand of $100 billion will eventually shift the aggregate demand curve to the right by $400 billion

What type of crime measurements collects data from those who break the law

<span>National Crime Victimization Survey,Have an wonderful day!
</span>National Crime Victimization Survey Resource GuideAbout NCVS

The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) series, previously called the National Crime Survey (NCS), has been collecting data on personal and household victimization since 1973. An ongoing survey of a nationally representative sample of residential addresses, the NCVS is the primary source of information on the characteristics of criminal victimization and on the number and types of crimes not reported to law enforcement authorities. It provides the largest national forum for victims to describe the impact of crime and characteristics of violent offenders. Twice each year, data are obtained from a nationally representative sample of roughly 49,000 households comprising about 100,000 persons on the frequency, characteristics, and consequences of criminal victimization in the United States. The survey is administered by the U.S. Census Bureau (under the U.S. Department of Commerce) on behalf of the Bureau of Justice Statistics (under the U.S. Department of Justice).

The NCVS was designed with four primary objectives: (1) to develop detailed information about the victims and consequences of crime, (2) to estimate the number and types of crimes not reported to the police, (3) to provide uniform measures of selected types of crimes, and (4) to permit comparisons over time and types of areas. The survey categorizes crimes as "personal" or "property." Personal crimes cover rape and sexual attack, robbery, aggravated and simple assault, and purse-snatching/pocket-picking, while property crimes cover burglary, theft, motor vehicle theft, and vandalism. The data from the NCVS survey are particularly useful for calculating crime rates, both aggregated and disaggregated, and for determining changes in crime rates from year to year.
