Answer:

option (A) $212.97

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Gross earnings for the pay period ending 10/15/16 = $5,835

Total gross earnings as of 9/30/16 = $104,400

Social Security tax rate = 6.2%

Now,

Total earnings

= Gross earnings for the pay period ending 10/15/16 + Total gross earnings as of 9/30/16

=  $5,835 + $104,400

= $110,235

since,The Social Security taxes are on a maximum earnings of $106,800 per year

therefore,

Sabrina's Social Security withheld from her 10/15/16 paycheck will be

= ( Total earnings - $106,800 ) × Social Security tax rate

= ( $110,235 - $106,800 ) × 0.062

= $3,435 × 0.062

= $212.97

Hence,

The answer is option (A) $212.97

Answer:

Her real income has decrease by  $7,333.33

Explanation:

<em>Real income is the amount of goods and services that a give amount of quantity money can purchase. It is also known as the purchasing power of money.  </em>

To determine if there has been a change in her real income, we will compare her real income 20 years ago to her real income 5 years later. This will be done as follows;

Step 1

Determine her real income 5 years after her last reunion

Real income in current year = (CPI in base year/CPI in current year ) × Nominal income

                     = (80/150)× 80,000

                    =   $42,666.67

Step 2

Determine change in real income

Her real income has decrease by  $7,333.33. This is difference between her real income 5 years ago and now. That is $50,000 -  $42,666.67.

Tis implies she cannot purchase as much as she could 5 years ago because of inflation.

The cash flow statement categories the company's transactions in a financial period into 3 groups; these are operating, investing and financing.

The net profit/loss, depreciation, changes in current assets (other than cash) and liabilities are considered as operating activities including income taxes.  

The sale of assets, interest received, purchase of investments are examples of investing activities while the issuance of stocks, debt principal deduction (loan settlement), issuance of debt securities etc are examples of financing activities.

An increase in assets other than cash is an outflow while an increase in liabilities is an inflow. Depreciation and other non-cash expenses deducted in the income statements are added back while the non-cash income such gain on asset are deducted from net income.

A country’s real gdp rose from 500 to 550 while its nominal gdp rose from 600 to 770. what was this country’s inflation rate?
Gennadij [26K]
<span>The inflation rate is 16.67%. To find this, we first need to compute the GDP deflator for each year and then we need to calculate the percent change in the GDP deflator. The GDP deflator is given by GDPdef=(nominal GDP/Real GDP)*100. For the first year, the GDP deflator is 120. For the second year it is 140. Percent change is given by [(new value - old value)/old value]*100. Plugging in 140 for the new value and and 120 for the old value, we see get that the percent change is 16.6667. Thus the inflation rate is approximately 16.67%.</span>
