20% down will be $50,000 so the balance will be $200,000 to take out a mortgage for. The higher the down payment the lower the mortgage required and lower payments would ensue also. Also, once one has a mortgage it ie wise to pay it by the week to reduce the interest. Over time this practice makes a difference.

Brent is a full-time exempt employee in Clark County, Indiana. He earns an annual salary of $39,360 and is paid semimonthly. He

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Federal Income tax ⇒ $80
FICA ⇒ $125.46
State income tax ⇒ $52.97
Local deduction - Clark County Income tax ⇒ $29.52

Explanation:

Brent gets paid semi-monthly so his pay per period is:

= 39,360 / (12 months *2)

= $1,640

Based on the table therefore, his federal tax is:

= $80

This figure is based on the intersection between income of $1,640 and 3 withholding allowances.

FICA tax rate is 7.65% so his FICA tax is:

= 1,640 * 7.65%

= $125.46

State income tax = $52.97

Local deduction - Clark County Income tax = $29.52

Total deductions:

= Federal tax + FICA + State income tax + Clark County income tax

= 80 + 125.46 + 52.97 + 29.52

= $287.95

Incline Company generated $4,900,000 in revenue selling 4,025 units of its only product. Each unit has a contribution margin of

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

23%

Explanation:

The computation of the contribution margin ratio is shown below:-

Selling price per unit = $4,900,000 ÷ 4,025 units

= 1217.39

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin ÷ Selling price

= $280 ÷ 1217.39

= 23%

Therefore for computing the contribution margin ratio we simply divide selling price by contribution margin.

Estimate the present value of the tax benefits from depreciation:

D. $1,851

Explanation:

Step 1: Determine annual depreciation

A.D=(A.C-S.V)/N

where;

A.D=annual depreciation

A.C=acquisition cost

S.V=salvage value

N=useful life

In our case;

A.D=unknown, to be determined

A.C=$10,000

S.V=$3,000

N=5 years

replacing;

A.D={(10,000-3,000)/5}=7,000/5=$1,400

Annual depreciation=$1,400

Step 2: Determine annual tax benefits

Annual tax benefits=tax rate×annual depreciation

where;

tax rate=34%=34/100=0.34

annual depreciation=$1,400

replacing;

Annual tax benefits=0.34×1,400=$476

Step 3: Determine present value of the annual tax benefits

Year Future value Present value

1 476 476/{(1+0.09)^1}=436.70

2 476 476/{(1+0.09)^2}=400.64

3 476 476/{(1+0.09)^3}=367.56

4 476 476/{(1+0.09)^4}=337.21

5 476 476/{(1+0.09)^5}=309.37

Total present value of the tax benefits=436.70+400.64+367.56+337.21+309.37=$1,851.48

Estimate the present value of the tax benefits from depreciation=$1,851
