Imagine that after completing your economics course (you get an A, of course) you are at a family gathering. Your grandmother as

ks you about a news story she read this morning. The story explained that when the government adjusts Social Security payments for inflation, it generally uses the CPI-W, which is the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers. Because senior citizens spend a lot more than average on medical care, adjustments to their Social Security payments are not keeping up with their cost of living. Your grandmother has two questions: 1. Last year I received $15,000 per year from the government. The story said that the CPI increased from 144 to 162. How much will I get this year

Answer:

Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers

1. You will get $16,875.

Explanation:

a) Data:

Last year's Medicare allowance = $15,000

CPI last year = 144

CPI this year = 162

Calculation:

This year's Medicare allowance = $16,875 ($15,000/144 x 162)

Another way of working out this year's allowance for my grandmother is to calculate the percentage increase.  This amounts to an increase of 12.5% (162 - 144)/144

This shows that the CPI increased by 12.5% and the Medicare allowance will also increase by 12.5%

Thus, the Medicare allowance for this year will be $16,875 ($15,000 x 1.125)

Differentiate accounts receivable from notes receivable.
maria [59]

Notes receivable are backed by a promissory note, carry interest, and have periods that can occasionally go beyond a whole business cycle. While notes receivable can be either short-term, long-term, or both depending on the repayment plan, accounts receivable are short-term current assets.

The money that clients owe your business for goods or services for which invoices have been issued is known as accounts receivable. On the balance sheet, current assets are listed as the total amount of all accounts receivable, which includes bills from clients for goods or services provided to them on credit.

Accounts receivable are a debit on a trial balance until the client pays. Once the customer has paid, you will debit your cash account and credit accounts receivable because the funds are now in your bank and are no longer owing to you. On your trial balance, the concluding balance of accounts receivable is typically a debit.

: which statement is true about nonexempt employees? group of answer choices under the flsa, executive, professional, and admini
Kobotan [32]

The true statement that we can see about the non exempt employees is that nonexempt employees are covered by flsa and include most hourly workers.

<h3>What is meant by non exempt employees?</h3>

Employees who are not excluded from pay have a right to the minimum wage and overtime compensation if they put in more than 40 hours per week.

For each hour over 40 in a workweek, businesses are required by the FLSA to pay non-exempt workers no less than time and a half their usual wage rate. If a non-exempt worker isn't paid hourly, one can determine their hourly rate by dividing their total earnings by the number of hours they worked. When making these calculations, vacation, holidays, and sick days shouldn't be taken into account unless the person really worked on those days.

Employers shouldn't presume that just because a worker receives a pay, they can be lawfully regarded as exempt under the FLSA. Employees may be entitled to overtime compensation if they don't pass an acceptable duties test, make less than $684 per week or $35,568 per year, or have certain deductions made from their pay.
