$3878.55

Explanation:

Step 1 :

It is given that Kristy has a biweekly gross earnings of $1950.

Since it is bi-weekly payments there are 26 payments in the year.

Gross earnings per year = 1950 * 26 = $50,700

Step 2 :

It is given that the social security tax is 6.2% up to $128,400. Kristy's earnings of 50,700$ does not exceed the threshold $128,400, hence 6.2% of her entire income is subject to social security withholding.

Social security withholding = 6.2% of 50,700 = 6.2*50700/100 = $3143.40

Step 3 :

It is given that Medicare tax is 1.45% with no wage limit

Medicare withholding = 1.45% of 50,700 = 1.45*50700/100 = $735.15

Total withholding = Social Security withholding + Medicare withholding 3143.40 + 735.15 = $3878.55

Natalka [10]

Answer: 7.80%

Explanation:

At the end of 2016, Josh received a dividend of $1.37 and at the end of 2020, he received one of $1.85.

You can calculate the growth rate with the formula:

Dividend Growth Rate = (Dividend received at end of 2020/Dividend received at end of 2016) ^ (1/n) - 1

2016 to 2020 is 4 years.

Dividend growth rate = (1.85 / 1.37)¹/⁴ - 1

= 0.07798518

= 7.80%
