FICA covers both Social security and Medicare, not everyone would pay the same amount for this tax. It would depend on your income.

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The question is incomplete since we are not told if the capital gain is a short or long term gain. So I will answer the question in both possible scenarios.

Short term capital gains:

They are taxed as ordinary income, so the net gain = $35,000 - $7,000 = $28,000

Net gain after taxes = $28,000 x (1 - 53.31%) = $13,073.20

Long term capital gains:

They are taxed at a much lower rate that ranges from 0 to 20%. In this case, Christopher is probably taxed at 20%.

Net gain after taxes = $28,000 x (1 - 20%) = $22,400

An employee earns $5,550 per month working for an employer. The FICA tax rate for Social Security is 6.2% of the first $127,200
omeli [17]

Answer:

The amount the employer should record as payroll taxes expense for the employee for the month of January is $695.75

Explanation:

According to the given, The FICA tax rate for Social Security is 6.2% and the FICA tax rate for Medicare is 1.45%. The current FUTA tax rate is 0.6%, and the SUTA tax rate is 4.4%.

The remainder are taken out of the employees' checks as part of their responsibility.

Therefore, to calculate the amount the employer should record as payroll taxes expense for the employee for the month of January we would have to make the following calculation:

Total payroll expense=($5,500 x 0.062) + ($5,500 x 0.0145) +($5,500 x 0.006) +($5,500 x 0.044)

Total payroll expense=$695.75

The amount the employer should record as payroll taxes expense for the employee for the month of January is $695.75

Waterway industries, has 4700 shares of 5%, $50 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 100000 shares of $1 par value common s
e-lub [12.9K]

Since the preferred stocks are cumulative in nature, the dividend amount not paid in the current year will be accumulated and paid in the next year.

Preferred dividend to be paid in 2017 = Value of preferred stock x Dividend rate

= (4700 x $50) x 5%

= 11750

Dividend to be paid in 2018 = same as 2017 as no new preferred stock issued

= 11750

Total dividend to be paid in 2018 = Dividend to be paid in 2018 + Dividend to be paid in 2017 – Dividend paid in 2017

= 11750 +11750 -7900

= $15600

Many people believe that pure monopolies charge any price they want to without affecting sales. Instead, the output level for a
irga5000 [103]

Answer: Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Correct Option: Marginal revenue equals marginal cost.

Pure monopoly is a market situation in which there is a single firm who are producing the goods and these goods are the close substitute. There is no other firm in the market. So, the monopoly firm is the price setter.

The output level that is produced by the profit maximizing monopoly firm is at a point where marginal revenue is equal to the marginal cost. It is the same profit maximizing condition that a competitive firm also utilize to find their equilibrium level of output.
