Answer:

The total payroll tax expenses is   $3139.5

See the prepared journal in the explanation below.

Explanation:

Before it is presented on a general journal, the calculation is done below;

1. Payroll tax expenses:

FICA Social Security taxes = 6.2% * 2300 * 10

                                             = 0.062 * 2300 * 10

                                            = $1,426

FICA Medicare taxes  =  1.45% * 2300 * 10

                                    = 0.0145 * 2300 * 10

                                    = $333.5

FUTA taxes  =  0.6% * 2300 * 10

                      = 0.006 * 2300 * 10

                    =$138

SUTA taxes = 5.4% * 2300 * 10

                    = 0.054 * 2300 *10

                    = $1242

Total payroll tax expenses = $1,426 + $333.5 + $138 + $1242

                                             = $3139.5

Date         General Journal                             Debit            Credit

Jan. 31      Payroll tax expense                       $3139.5              

                FICA- Social sec. taxes payable                         $1,426

                FICA- Medicare taxes payable                           $333.5

                FUTA taxes payable                                            $138

                SUTA taxes payable                                           $1242

            (Payroll tax expense recognized)

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

1. PES for pancakes is 2.45

2. Supply in the market for motorcycles is  less elastic than supply in the market for pancakes.

Explanation:

Hi :)

I feel like part of the question is missing but i was able to find it elsewhere and show you:

1. How to calculate PES using mid-point formula

2. PES for both motorcycles and pancakes

3. Which is more elastic

...

Price elasticity of supply is the responsiveness of quantity supplied to a change in price. it is calculated by dividing the % change in quantity supplied by the % change in price. Generally, it can be of two types:

Price Elastic: Change in quantity supplied is higher than change in price. PES > 1

Price Inelastic: Change in quantity supplied is lower than change in price. PES < 1

When calculated using the mid-point formula, this is the formula used:

<u>(Q2 - Q1) / [(Q2 + Q1)/2]  </u>

(P2 - P1) / [(P2 + P1)/2]

1. We will now substitute the actual values of pancakes in place after identifying them from the question:

Equilibrium Quantity - 27 (Q1)

New Quantity - 109 (Q2)

Equilibrium Price - $6.50 (P1)

New Price - $10.75 (P2)

<u>(109 - 27) / [(109 + 27)/2] </u>

(10.75 - 6.50) / [(10.75 + 6.50)/2]

<u>1.21 </u>

0.493

Therefore, PES for pancakes is 2.45 (approx. two decimal places) suggesting it is price elastic.

2. In order to check whether motorcycles or pancakes are more elastic, we calculate the PES of motorcycles using the same method:

Equilibrium Quantity - 27 (Q1)

New Quantity - 61 (Q2)

Equilibrium Price - $6.50 (P1)

New Price - $10.75 (P2)

<u>(61 - 27) / [(61 + 27)/2] </u>

(10.75 - 6.50) / [(10.75 + 6.50)/2]

<u>0.77 </u>

0.493

Therefore, PES for motorcycles is 1.56 (approx. two decimal places) suggesting it is price elastic. However, it is less price elastic than PES for pancakes.

One reason for this could be production time. Pancakes can be produced much faster than motorcycles. Therefore, it is more flexible to price changes.
