Answer:
$44.52
Explanation:
The value of the stock today can be determined by finding the present value of the liquidating dividends
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 1 = 17
Cash flow in year 1 = 32
I = 6%
PV = $44.52
To find the PV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
Given:
130,500 net pay to employees
19,000 income tax withholding
5,000 FICA withholding
130,500 + 19,000 + 5,000 + 5,000 = 159,500
<span>The total wages and payroll tax expense to the company for this pay period, excluding any unemployment taxes, is $159,500.
</span>
The 5,000 is added twice because the first 5,000 is withheld from the employees salary as the employees share. The employer also has to pay off 5,000 as employer's share to the employee's FICA withholding. Thus, the presence of the 2nd 5,000.
FICA, <span> Federal Insurance Contributions Act,</span> is composed of
1) <span>6.2 % Social Security tax;
2) <span>1.45 % Medicare tax (the “regular” Medicare tax); and
3) 0.9 % of a Medicare surtax starting 2013 for employees earning over $200,000.

Answer:
The correct answer is D.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
In 2016, Carow sold 3,000 units, at $500 each. Variable expenses were $250 per unit, and fixed expenses were $500,000.
The same selling price is expected for 2017. Carow is tentatively planning to invest in equipment, that would increase fixed costs by 20% while decreasing variable costs per unit by 20%.
First, we need to calculate the ner fixed and variable costs:
Fixed costs= 500,000*1.20= $600,000
Variable costs= 250*0.8= $200
Now, we can calculate the break-even point:
Break-even point= fixed costs/ contribution margin
Break-even point= 600,000 / (500 - 200)= 2,000 units
