Answer:

He owes $33556.08 worth of self employment tax.

Explanation:

consider firstly calculating the profit that he has made after this period which can be calculated as profit= income minus expenses and in this case we are given income earned from self employment of $143380 and the expenses incurred in generating this income is $3563 so we find he difference in these two amounts which is $143380-$3563 = $139817 therefore this profit is the taxable income that he needs to deduct tax from.

in order to calculate tax from this amount we go to the tax table so therefore a person earning between $84201 to $160725 is charged 24% tax as per tax table. so now we will say $139817 x 24% = $33556.08 is the tax he owes the IRS.

Which of the following statements accurately brings out the difference between economies of scale and learning effects?
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Learning effects occur over time, whereas economies of scale are captured at one point in time when output is increased.

Explanation:

Learning effect is defined as as the process by which education results in increased productivity and in turn higher wages. This process takes time because most specialised skills need to be learnt in a formal institution over time.

Economies of scale is defines as cost reduction that a company experiences when there is an increase in production. Fixed cost realised can be spread over a larger number of produced units. Economies of scale is captured at one point in time when output is increased.

The current price of a turkey sandwich is $6. If kyle is currently buying five turkey sandwiches a week, he:_______
Vsevolod [243]

The utility is not maximized since the  marginal utility gained from the fifth sandwich is greater.

In economics, utility refers to the entire satisfaction or benefit gained from consuming an item or service. Consumer utility maximization is commonly assumed in the economic theories based on the rational choice.

In economics, the marginal utility is the additional satisfaction (utility) that a buyer receives by purchasing an additional unit of the product or  the service. It computes utility once the first product is consumed (the marginal amount).

Therefore, the utility is not maximized , from the fifth sandwich onwards the marginal utility is more.

The Great Giant Corp. has a management contract with its newly hired president. The contract requires a lump sum payment of $25,
grigory [225]

Answer: $3,719,548.95

Explanation:

As the amount will be an equal amount each year, it is an annuity. The lump sum to be paid in 6 years growing at 5% would be the present value of this annuity.

The payment will be;

FV = Payment * Future value interest factor of annuity, 6 years, 5%

25,300,000 = Payment * 6.8019

Payment = 25,300,000/6.8019

Payment = $3,719,548.95

Up in Smoke Tobacco Shops' bond carries a 9 percent coupon, pays interest semiannually, and has 10 years to maturity. What is th
lara [203]

Answer:

10%

Explanation:

Since the bond is selling at a discount, it means that the coupon rate is blow the market rate, so the actual rate must be higher. Since there is only one option with an interest rate above 9%, we must check to see if it works.

10% yearly interest rate = 5% semiannual interest rate

we must determine the PV of the 20 coupons paid and the face value at maturity.

to calculate the PV of the 20 coupons ($45 each) we can use an excel spreadsheet and the NPV function with a 5% discount rate: PV of the coupons = $560.80

the PV of the face value in 10 years = $1,000 / 1.05²⁰ = $376.89

the present value of the coupons and the bond at maturity = $560.80 + $376.89 = $937.69. The PV using a 5% semiannual rate is very similar to $937.75, and since the question asked us to round up to the nearest whole percent, we can assume it is correct.
