Answer:

The future value is $1,610.430167

Explanation:

The computation of the future value is shown below:

As we know that

Future value = Present value ×(1 + interest rate)^number of years

= $500 × (1 + 0.07 ÷ 2)^17× 2

= $500 × (1.035)^34

= $1,610.430167

Hence, the future value is 1610.430167

By applying the above formula we simply determined the future value

Suppose Jim worked 62 hours during this payroll period and is paid $14.00 per hour. Assume FICA is 6.2%, Medicare is 1.45% and w

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

1. $714.798

2. $66.402

3. $141.484

Explanation:

1. Gross pay = 62 hours worked x $14.00 per hour

= $868

Net paycheck = Gross pay - Tax

= 868 - [(868) x (6.2%+1.45%+10%)

= $868 - $153.202

= $714.798

2. Employer's payroll tax expense = (6.2%+1.45%) x 868

= $66.402

3. Jim's employer's total payroll tax liability for the period.

868*6.2% (FICA taxes - Employee) + 868*6.2% (FICA taxes - Employer's share) + 868*1.45% (Medicare taxes - Employee) + 868*1.45% (Medicare taxes - Employer's share) + 868*10% (Withholding tax).

= 53.816 + 53.816 + 12.586 + 12.586 + 8.68

Total = $141.484

Stanley deposits $1,000 into a savings account that pays 1% interest per year. At the end of the first year, he's earned $10 in

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

$1000

$1010

Explanation:

The formula for determining simple interest = principal x time x interest rate

The formula for determining compound interest = future value - amount invested

FV = P (1 + r)^n

FV = Future value

P = Present value

R = interest rate

N = number of years

1000 X 0.01 X 1 = $10

Given the figures in the question, the simple interest each year would be $10 based on $1000

But the compound interest in year 2 = 1000 x (1.01)^2 = 1020.10

1020.10 - 1000 = 20.1

compound interest in year 2 = 20.1 - 10 = 10.1

1010 x 0.01 x 1 = 10.1
