Answer:

producing more output by revamping operation methods of the assembly line

Explanation:

The increase in production from technological progress occurs when the company introduces a new form of production that produces more goods at a lower cost, rationalizing the inputs to the production line (capital and labor). For example, imagine a firm with an assembly line of 10 workers and a machine. If the company changes its production line, replacing the machine and half of the workers with a more modern machine and the production increases to 2000 units, this means that there was a productivity gain, because with a lower utilization of the factors of production (a machine and 5 workers) The company produced twice as many products, due to technological progress.

Marilyn has a biweekly gross pay of $810 and claims 3 federal withholding allowances. Marilyn has all of the following deduction

frutty [35]

The net pay of Marilyn will increase by $18.15 due to the increase in the federal withholding allowances from 3 to 4.

<h3>The computation of net pay considering various federal withholding allowances</h3>

Given,

Gross pay =$810

3 Federal withholding allowances =$37 (taken from the reference table)

4 Federal withholding allowances =$22 (taken from the reference table)

Federal state tax rate =21%

First, the state tax rate and the total amount of withholding for 3 Federal withholding allowances are computed:

$\begin{aligned}\text{State Tax}&=\text{Claim Amount}\times\text{Federal State Tax Rate}\\&=\$37\times21\%\\&=\$7.77\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned}\text{Total Amount of 3 withholdings}&=\text{Claim Amount}+\text{State Tax}\\&=\$37+\$7.77\\&=\$44.77\end{aligned}$

Now, the state tax rate and the total amount of withholding for 4 Federal withholding allowances are computed:

$\begin{aligned}\text{State Tax}&=\text{Claim Amount}\times\text{Federal State Tax Rate}\\&=\$22\times21\%\\&=\$4.62\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned}\text{Total Amount of 4 withholdings}&=\text{Claim Amount}+\text{State Tax}\\&=\$22+\$4.62\\&=\$26.62\end{aligned}$

The difference in the net pay will be the difference between $44.77 and $26.62, which is $18.15.

Therefore, Marilyn withholding will decrease from $44.77 to $26.62 that is increasing the net pay by $18.15

sammy [17]

Answer:

Lump-sum salary increase.

Explanation:

A lump-sum salary increase is an amount paid instead of increase in salary. It is not added to the fixed base salary, it is instead given in the form of a single cash payment, as it is the case with Cindy here.
