Dan has a personal umbrella policy with a $1 million limit. The self-insured retention is $250. Dan has a homeowners policy with
alekssr [168]

Answer:

The personal umbrella policy is excess liability insurance that provides protection against legal liability that is over and above that provided by auto, home, and boat insurance. People with significant assets need an umbrella liability policy to cover lawsuits that can sometimes amount to millions of dollars.

The umbrella policy also has broad coverage that covers some claims that wouldn't be covered at all by home and auto insurance, such as personal injury lawsuits arising from false arrest, slander and libel, or rental units that the insured may own. Not only is the cost of direct damages covered, but also the cost of consequential damages, such as the lost income suffered by a severely injured person because of the injuries. The personal umbrella policy also pays for the legal defense of lawsuits that is in addition to the policy limit for damages. So if you are sued and held liable for $1 million, and your legal costs are $200,000, then a policy providing $1 million of coverage will pay the full claim plus the $200,000 for legal costs.

Has anyone done the managing payroll quiz for Personal Finance on connexus???
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

a) withholdings

b) deductions

c) payroll register

d) methods of paying employees

e) commission

f) specific required deductions

g) hourly rate

h) voluntary deductions

i) Salary

j) standard deductions

Explanation:

A)

Withholdings are the amount that is associated with the payroll deductions from an employee's gross wages. The employer does not include withholdings in the employee's paycheck. Instead of adding it to the salary, the amount is transferred to the federal, state, or local government or tax authorities. It also decreases the tax that an employee has to pay during the yearly tax return.

B)

When an employer withholds any amount from an employee's gross salary, such as taxes, insurance, wage responsibilities, saving plans, and child support payments, it refers to deductions. The payroll deduction is also known as involuntary deductions because the employer is withholding the amount. Those deductions are legally deductible; therefore, it is automatic deductions.

C)

A list of periodic reports that enlist the hourly wages, additionals, gross pay, deductions, net pay, and the date of payrolls refers to the payroll register. More precisely, it is a summary of each employee's paycheck throughout a period. It starts with the current quarter's or month's total hourly wages and ends with the net pay of the employee.

D)

The commission is the percentage paid to an employee for his or her additional service provided for the company. For example, a company asks an employee to produce anything over 500 shirts per week will receive 10% additions, if the employee contributes in 510 shirts, he will receive an extra payment, it is commission. The hourly rate is the amount paid to the employee per hour. The salary is the monthly or weekly amount paid to an employee for his periodic contribution towards a business.

E)

The commission is the portion given to an employee for his or her supplementary service rendered for the company. For example, a manager of a firm urges the sales representative to sell $10,000 per month to receive an extra 10% of the total sales. If the sales representative sells $10,000 or more, he will receive an additional fee as a percentage. That percentage refers to the commission.

F)

Specific payroll deduction means deduction from paycheck to meet the obligations of income tax and other required duties. Every individual and corporation whose income is taxable is obliged to pay a tax. In the case of specific payroll deduction, an employee is legally obligated to withhold this money from an employee's payroll check based on federal and state laws. But specifically required deduction is not only used for tax provisions but also used for employee-related benefits like health insurance and short time disability plans that are offered by the employer.

G)

According to the Cambridge dictionary, hourly rate means the amount of money that is charged, paid, or earned for every hour worked. An employer is bound to pay a minimum hourly wage to the employee. It is one of the critical issues as many workers work as a part-time job. Since it is not a fixed job, so monthly or weekly payment is not applicable here. To adjust the amount for every type of employment, whether it is a permanent or temporary hourly rate of wage, is the best solution.

H)

When any deductions from employees salary or wages are not legally binded, those deductions are termed as Voluntary deductions. Voluntary deduction does not need any imposition of law. As it is not legally required, it is offered by the employer for employee's acceptance. This kind of deduction may include health, accident, disability, retirement plans; flexible spending accounts such as parking and transit costs; union dues; and deductions for paycheck advances and other company-sponsored benefits.

I)

Salary is most commonly known as compensations paid by the employer to an employee in return for required job performance. Salary generally paid in fixed intervals for an individual's performance. The intervals may be weekly, monthly, etc. and these are set up by a mutual contract between employer and employee. Salary mainly includes base pay and other benefits,  bonuses, or rises. Salary mainly gives security towards the employee as it is fixed payment for their work performances.

J)

Standard deduction means deduction of some amount of money from the total amount of income to reduce total taxable income. In short, it means a portion of income that is not subject to tax. The amount of one's standard deduction depends on one's filing status, age, or whether one is disabled or claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return. But all the taxpayers are not qualified to enjoy this provision. Nonresident husbands and wives, married people filing separately whose spouses itemized, and trusts and estates cannot entertain this benefit.

You want to buy a new car, but you can make an initial payment of only $1,200 and can afford monthly payments of at most $850. a
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

a. The maximum price you can pay for the car is <u>$33,477.87</u>.

b. The maximum price you can pay for the car is <u>$39,411.78</u>.

Explanation:

a. If the APR on auto loans is 12% and you finance the purchase over 48 months, what is the maximum price you can pay for the car? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

This can be determined as follows:

<u>Calculation of the Present Value (PV) of the monthly payments</u>

To calculate, the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity is used as follows:

PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV = Present value of the monthly payments = ?

P = Monthly payment = $850

r = monthly interest rate = annual percentage rate (APR) / 12 = 12% / 12 = 1%, or 0.01

n = number of months = 48

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV = $850 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.01))^48) / 0.01)

PV = $850 * 37.9739594934803

PV = $32,277.87

<u>Calculation of the maximum price you can pay for the car</u>

Given in the question is initial payment of only $1,200.

The present value of the monthly payments calculated above is $32,277.87.

Therefore, we have:

Maximum price = Initial payment + Present value of the monthly payments = $1,200 + $32,277.87 = $33,477.87

Therefore, the maximum price you can pay for the car is <u>$33,477.87</u>.

b. How much can you afford if you finance the purchase over 60 months? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

This can also be determined as follows:

<u>Calculation of the Present Value (PV) of the monthly payments</u>

To calculate this, we use equation (1) in part (a) above, change number f months to 60 and proceed as follows:

PV = Present value of the monthly payments = ?

P = Monthly payment = $850

r = monthly interest rate = annual percentage rate (APR) / 12 = 12% / 12 = 1%, or 0.01

n = number of months = 60

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV = $850 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.01))^60) / 0.01)

PV = $850 * 44.9550384062241

PV = $38,211.78

<u>Calculation of the maximum price you can pay for the car</u>

Given in the question is initial payment of only $1,200.

The present value of the monthly payments calculated above is $38,211.78.

Therefore, we have:

Maximum price = Initial payment + Present value of the monthly payments = $1,200 + $38,211.78 = $39,411.78

Therefore, the maximum price you can pay for the car is <u>$39,411.78</u>.

If an activity generates a positive externality, the government can increase total economic surplus by ___ the activity, and if
Fofino [41]

Answer:

C. subsidizing: taxing

Explanation:

An activity generates a positive externality if the benefits of economic activities to third parties exceeds its costs.

Example of activities that generate positive externality are education and research.

Government ought to encourage the production of activities that generates postive externality. One of the ways this can be done is through Subsidy. Subsidy reduces cost of production and increases production.

An activity generates negative externality if the benefits of economic activities to third parties is less its costs.

An example of negative externality is pollution.

Government can discourage activities that generates negative externality by taxation. Taxation increases the cost of production and discourages production.
