nevsk [136]

Answer: Prices generally increase at the same rate across most periods of time.

Explanation:

Inflation means a rapid rise in the price of commodities in a market, and it is normally as a result of scarcity of products or excess flow of money in an economy. Prices on the other hand do not always increase generally, as price could reduce or remain the same overtime.

An issuer decides to call in an outstanding bond issue under the terms detailed in the bond resolution because interest rates ha

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

An optional Call

Explanation:

Callable Bond

Callable bond represents an instrument of debt where the issuer issues the instrument reserving the right to make a return of the principal of investors including the stoppage of interest payments before the date of maturity of the bond.

Organisations would usually issue bonds as callable when either to meet unexpected obligations like pay off other debts, fund expansions or when they sense that opportunities may arise in the future for them to get other forms of financing at lower interest rates.

For bonds to be callable the terms must be clearly stated in the bond's offering.

Optional Call

In optional call, the issuer reserves the right to call the bonds to take advantage of present circumstances such as significant drop in interest rates (as stated in the question). However, the terms detailed in the bond resolution will allow the bondholders to receive a premium to par as compensation for their loss of interest payments on the called bond.

Furthermore, a period of time must usually pass before the issuer can use the optional call.

Every worker sees a social security (fica) tax taken out of his or her paycheck. the nominal tax rate on workers is 7.65 percent

denpristay [2]

Part A:

Because, there is a ceiling on the amount of earnings that is taxable. Any earning below the ceiling will be taxed at 7.65% of the earning while any earning above the eiling will be taxed at 7.65% of the ceiling.

Given that the ceiling on the amount that is taxable is $117,000. If a worker earns $40,000, then the worker's FICA tax will be 7.65% of $40,000 = 0.0765 x $40,000 = $3,060

Therefore, the percentage of income that is paid in social security taxes by a worker in 2014 earning $40,000 is 7.65%

Part B:

Because, there is a ceiling on the amount of earnings that is taxable. Any earning below the ceiling will be taxed at 7.65% of the earning while any earning above the eiling will be taxed at 7.65% of the ceiling.

Given that the ceiling on the amount that is taxable is $117,000. If a worker earns $80,000, then the worker's FICA tax will be 7.65% of $80,000 = 0.0765 x $80,000 = $6,120

Therefore, the <span>percentage of income that is paid in social security taxes by a worker in 2014 earning</span> $80,000 is 7.65%

Part C:

Because, there is a ceiling on the amount of earnings that is taxable. Any earning below the ceiling will be taxed at 7.65% of the earning while any earning above the eiling will be taxed at 7.65% of the ceiling.

Given that the ceiling on the amount that is taxable is $117,000. If a worker earns $200,000, then the worker's FICA tax will be 7.65% of $117,000 = 0.0765 x $117,000 = $8,950.50

Therefore, the percentage of income that is paid in social security taxes by a worker in 2014 earning $200,000 is given by

$\frac{8950.5}{200000} \times100\%=4.48\%$

The Mason Corporation budgeted overhead at $240,000 for the period for Department A based on a budgeted volume of 60,000 direct

IgorC [24]

Answer:

$8000

Explanation:

Given: Budgeted Overhead $240,000

Budgeted Labor Hrs 60,000

Actual Labor Hrs for Job B25 200

Actual labor cost for B25 $2,200

Direct Material cost for B25 $5000

Standard/ Budgeted overhead absorption rate = Budgeted Overheads/ Budgeted labor hours = $240,000/60,000 = $4 per labor hours

Budgeted overheads for actual 200 labor hours = 200 × $4 = $800

Labor cost and material cost incurred for Job B25 = $2200 + $5000 = $7200

Add: Budgeted overhead cost for 200 labor hours = $800

Cost of Job B25 = $7200 + $800 = $8000
