Answer:

Step 1: Calculate FICA (OASDI & HI):

Total wage subjected to FICA is $930. Why? Contributions to 401K is only exempted from Fed. Income Tax Withholding (FIT) not FICA. As for HSA contrib., it is exempted for both FICA and FIT. However, the plan is non-qualified, which means that $25 contributed by employee is taxable for both. The $25 matching from employer for HSA is excluded from income and income taxes.

OASDI RATE 2012: 4.2% of $930; therefore, $39.06

HI RATE 2012: 1.45% of $930; therefore, $13.49

TOTAL FICA TAX: $52.55

STEP 2: Calculate FIT:

Total earnings subjected to FIT is ($930-100)= $830. Why? $100 contributions to 401k is exempted from FIT. HSA contrib. is unqualified.; therefore, contributions from employee is taxable. Using Wage Bracket Method 2012, the FIT is $89.

STEP 3: Getting the Take-Home Pay answer:

($930-100(401k))-25(HSA:Employee)-$52.55(FICA)-89(FIT)=$663.45

Aneli [31]

Answer:

The expected return on the portfolio is:

10.31% ($3,331.40)

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Portfolio investments:  Expected Returns %   Expected Returns $

Stock M = $13,400           8.50%                           $1,139

Stock N = $18,900          11.60%                           $2,192.40

Total        $32,300          10.31%                           $3,331.40

Total expected returns in percentage is Expected Returns $/Total Investments * 100

= $3,331.40/$32,300 * 100

= 10.31%

b) The expected returns on the portfolio is derived by calculating the expected returns for each investment and summing up.  Then dividing the expected portfolio returns by the portfolio investment.  This yields 10.31% percentage value.

Kaiser Industries has bonds on the market making annual payments, with 14 years to maturity, a par value of $1,000, and selling
9966 [12]

Answer:

The Coupon rate is 11.66%

Explanation:

Yield to maturity is the annual rate of return that an investor receives if a bond bond is held until the maturity.

Face value = F = $1,000

Selling price = P = $1,382.01

Number of payment = n = 14 years

Bond Yield = 7.5%

The coupon rate can be calculated using following formula

Yield to maturity = [ C + ( F - P ) / n ] / [ (F + P ) / 2 ]

7.5% = [ C + ( $1,000 - 1,382.01 ) / 14 ] / [ ( $1,000 + $1,382.01 ) / 2 ]

7.5% = [ C - $27.29 ] / $1,191

7.5% x $1,191 = C - $27.29

$89.33 = C - $27.29

C = $89.33 + $27.29 = $116.62

Coupon rate = $116.62 / $1,000 = 0.11662 = 11.66%

Mountaintop golf course is planning for the coming season. Investors would like to earn a​ 12% return on the​ company's $45 mill
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

The return on assets would be:

Return on assets (ROA)= Assets × Return

                                      = $45,000,000 × 12%

                                     = $5,400,000

Return per customer = ROA / Number of golfers

                                  = $5,400,000 / 400,000

                                  = $13.50

Fixed Cost per Customer = Fixed Cost / Number of golfers

                                          = $20,000,000 / 400,000

                                         = $50

Cost to be charged per customer = Profit + Fixed Cost + Variable Cost

                                                        = $13.50 + $50 + $15

                                                        = $78.50
