Which of the following condition will both consumers and sellers benefit?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer: Option C) When supply equals demand.

The most common supply curve decreases with price. The most common demand curve increases with price. The point at which supply and demand curves intercept each other is the equilibrium point. At that point (equilibrium), there are consumers who are paying less than what they are willing to pay (generating a consumer surplus) and there are producers who are selling at a price that is higher than what they are willing to receive (generating a producer surplus), then both consumer and producers benefit.

Mama L [17]

Answer: See attachment and explanation

Explanation:

1. Ortiz purchased a 20% interest for $20,000.

Total capital after the admission of the partner will be:

= ($96000 - $4000) + ($40000 - $4000) + $20000

= $92000 + $36000 + $20000

= $148000

The share of new partner in the capital structure will be:

= Total capital × Interest of new partner

= $148000 × 20%

= $29600

There'll be a deficiency in the profit which the existing partner contributes to and this will be:

= $29600 - $20000

= $9600

Then each partner shares =$9600/2 = $4800

2. Ortiz purchased a 30% interest for $60,000.

Total capital after the admission of the partner will be:

= ($96000 - $4000) + ($40000 - $4000) + $60000

= $92000 + $36000 + $60000

= $188000

The share of new partner in the capital structure will be:

= Total capital × Interest of new partner

= $188000 × 30%

= $56400

Since the share is less than the amount of $60000 bought in, the existing partner will be compensated in the amount of ($60000 - $56400) = $3600. Therefore each partner gets $3600/2 = $1800

Answer:

1. Salary expense = $2,300,000

Withholdings = $494,500

Salary payable = $1,805,500

2. Total fringe benefits = $185,150

3. Payroll tax = $494,500

Explanation:

1. Employee salary expense is given as $2,300,00

Withholdings is given as $494,500. This is the sum total of federal and state FICA taxes and unemployment tax.

Salaries payable is employee salary expense less withholdings.

Salaries payable = 2,300,000 - 494,500

= $1,805,500

2. Employer-provided fringe benefits includes medical insurance, dental insurance, life insurance and voluntary retirement plan contribution. The corporation matches employee contributions to a voluntary retirement plan up to 6% of their salaries and employee contribution to voluntary retirement plan is $115,000. Since this amount is 5% of salaries, the corporation will contribute an equal amount.

Medical insurance premiums paid by employer = $46,000

Dental insurance premiums paid by employer = $16,100

Life insurance premiums paid by employer = $8,050

Employer contribution to voluntary retirement plan = $115,000

Total fringe benefits = $185,150

3. Employer payroll taxes includes Federal and state FICA taxes and unemployment tax.

Federal FICA tax (rate of 7.65%) = (7.65/100) * 2300000 = $175,950

State FICA tax (rate of 7.65%) = (7.65/100) * 2300000 = $175,950

Unemployment tax (rate of 6.20%) = (6.20/100) * 2300000 = $142,600

Total pay roll tax = 175950 + 175950 +142600

= $494,500

juin [17]

Answer:

I would go ahead and avail this opportunity. Although it is a wide spread phenomenon that one should only acquire a degree in a field which is at a boom and is possibly going to be successful in the future. But times keep changing. Fields and phenomenon which did not have a chance in the past have now become most successful with unfulfilled potential.

On the other hand, acquiring college education is a luxury. 4 years without paying for it is a chance that nobody should miss. You can come up with creative ideas to make that degree work. Besides, people do not actually get the jobs according to their degrees. So there is a possibility that I would land a job.
