$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

Answer:

a. Calculation of level of sales

Level of sales = Sales / Operating capacity

= 7,000,000,000/90%

= $7,777,777,777.78

b. Calculation of Target fixed Assets/Sales ratio

Fixed assets sales ratio = Fixed assets / Level of sales

= 1,944,000,000/7,777,777,777.78

= 0.249942857

= 0.25

c. Calculation of Increase in Fixed assets

Increase in fixed assets = Fixed assets sales ratio * (Increase in sales - Level of sales)

= 0.249942857 * (7,000,000,000*1+15% - 7,777,777,777.78)

= 0.249942857 * (8,050,000,000 - 7,777,777,777.78)

= 0.249942857 * 272,222,222.222

= $68,040,000.

A university's decision to add a new residence hall. A trucking firm's decision to move to a smaller facility.
