$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

AleksAgata [21]

Answer: 21%

Explanation: The developer purchased 3 properties and he can buy each property for $20 per square foot.

Therefore: 75 × 110 =8250 square feet.

8250 × $20 = $165 000 per lot.

Each lot was sold for $200 000. Which means the developer made profits of:

$200 000 - $165 000 = $35 000 per lot.

The percentage of profit on each lot is:

Percentage of profit on cost amount:

= $\frac{35 000}{165 000}$

= 0.2121212 recurring × 100

= 21,21%

Percentage of profit on sale amount:

= $\frac{35000}{200000}$

= 0.175 × 100

= 17,5%

Answer:

Single step income statement

Explanation:

The single step income statement is the simplest form in which an income statement is prepared, e.g.

Revenues:

Sales revenues $100
Interest income $20 $120

Expenses:

Rent expense $30
Utilities expense $10
Wages and salaries $60 <u>($100)</u>

Income before taxes $20

Tax expenses <u> ($4.20)</u>

Net income $15.80

A multi-step income statement is more complex, since operating revenues and costs are reported first in order to determine operating income, then other revenues and expenses are introduced and income before taxes is calculated.

You are the CEO of a company that has to choose between making a $100 million investment in either Russia or Poland. Both invest

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer: When assessing the risks of investment, one should consider the political, economic, and legal risks of doing business in either Russia or Poland. The risk in Russia would probably be considered higher than the risk in Poland since Poland has been a member state of the European Union since 1 May 2004, with the Treaty of Accession 2003 signed on 16 April 2003 in Athens as the legal basis for Poland's accession to the EU.

Poland has already gained benefits and stability offered by the EU. Russia, by contrast, is still many years away from even being in a position to be considered by the EU for membership.

Explanation: A diligent investor wouldn't put a penny in a risky country.
