Answer:
The new real interest rate is 15%
and the lender was hurt.
O 15%; lender
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Fixed nominal interest rate = 13%
Real interest rate for the bank's profit margin = 10%
Inflation rate = 3% (13% - 10%)
Unanticipated inflation rate = 7%
Nominal interest rate = 17% (10% + 7%)
But the bank could not increase its fixed nominal interest rate to match the nominal interest rate.
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
Explanation:
First find 1/8. 48/8 is 6. Then multiply by 3 since there are 3/8. 3x6 is 18. 18 cards.

Answer: First-run syndication
Explanation:
Syndication refers to when multiple television and radio stations are able to lease the rights to a program without them having to do so through a broadcast network.
First-run syndication means that a show was first broadcast on several television stations because it was made to be broadcast as such. In other words the creators produced it specifically for the syndication market or purchased the rights from another country and then sold it into syndication in a country in which it was broadcasting for the first time.
