Answer:
$81,000
Explanation:
The computation of the incremental profit (loss) from accepting the order is shown below:
Contribution per unit = $165 - $75 
= $90
Now 
Loss on contribution for giving up regular sales  is 
= $4,100 × 90 
= $369,000
Now Incremental contribution for special order is 
= ($135 - $75) × 7,500 
= $450,000
So,  
Incremental profit is 
= $450,000 - $369,000
= $81,000
 
        
             
        
        
        
$3878.55
Explanation:
Step 1 :
 It is given that Kristy has a biweekly gross earnings of $1950.
Since it is bi-weekly payments there are 26 payments in the year.
Gross earnings per year = 1950 * 26 = $50,700
Step 2 :
It is given that the social security tax is 6.2% up to $128,400. Kristy's earnings of 50,700$ does not exceed the threshold $128,400, hence 6.2% of her entire income is subject to social security withholding.
Social security withholding = 6.2% of 50,700 = 6.2*50700/100 = $3143.40
Step 3 :
It is given that Medicare tax is 1.45% with no wage limit
Medicare withholding = 1.45% of 50,700 = 1.45*50700/100 = $735.15
Total withholding = Social Security withholding + Medicare withholding 3143.40 + 735.15 = $3878.55
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
$56.89
Explanation:
The computation of the current price of this preferred stock is shown below:
= Annual dividend ÷ required rate of return
where, 
Annual dividend equal to
= Quarterly dividend × number of quarters in a year
= $1.65 × 4 quarters
= $6.6
And, the required rate of return is 11.6%
Now put these values to the above formula  
So, the price would equal to
= $6.6 ÷ 11.6%
= $56.89
