In April of the current year, Steelman Press Company transferred Ken Sherm from its factory in Louisiana to its plant in Florida

Verdich [7]

Answer:

A) $158.40

B) $77.90

C) $42

Explanation:

The question is to determine the tax figures for both the State Unemployment Tax Act (SUTA) for Louisiana and Florida and the net Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) on Sherm's wages.

A) Amount of SUTA tax the company must pay to Louisiana on Sherm's wages

Out of the $14,190 wages of Sherm for the year, $4,950 was paid in Louisiana

Meaning the State SUTA tax in Louisiana = $4,950 x the tax rate for SUTA in Louisiana = 3.2%

= $4,950 x 3.2% = $158.40

B) Amount of SUTA tax the company must pay to Florida on Sherm's wages

Out of $14,190, $4,950 was paid in Louisiana meaning (14,190 - 4,950) = 9,240 was paid in Florida

However, the taxable wage limit is $7,000

threefore, SUTA in Florida = ($7,000-$4950 x 3.8%

= $77.90

C) Amount of the net FUTA tax on Sherm's wages

Using the same taxable wage limit of $7,000

FUTA tax = $7,000 x 0.6% = $42

2.Think of two investment opportunities and compare them to each other. Give a brief outline of what they are, how they work, an

Eddi Din [679]

So lets say we have two investment opportunities. A new convenient store in your neighborhood or a new shopping center more than 5 miles away from where you live... What would you invest in well lets look at the pros and cons of each investment. So even though the new convenient store is right around the corner from you and prices are low the new shopping center has better products, warranty and higher prices unlike the convenient store closer to you. So we have an investment budget of $1000 dollars and want to spend it wisely we need to access what has a better chance of being successful with what you put into it. So the convenient store will reach less people has a bargain price but also doesn't have security cameras. Even though the shopping center has great employees, top-of-the-line products, high security, and a great establishment but also has flaws. What are you gonna invest in, will you take risks? My personal opinion is that I would invest in the shopping center because more people would be attracted to it because of the quality of service and products. So it would have a better probability in success and good use of my money.
