Answer:
1. Total earnings
Normal hours 40 *$15 = $600
Overtime 8 * $30 = <u>240</u>
<u> $840</u>
<u />
2. Total Deduction
United fund deduction 50
social security(6%*840) 50.4
Medicare tax(1.5%*840) 12.6
State unemployment(3.4%*600) <u> 20.4</u>
<u> 133.4</u>
<u>3. </u> Cash paid
Total earnings $840
Total Deduction <u> 133.4</u>
<u> 706.6</u>
<u>b. </u> employer payroll tax
Medicare tax = 1.5% *840 = $12.6
Federal unemployment tax = (0.8%*600) <u> 4.8</u>
<u> </u> <u> 17.4</u>
Explanation:
Answer:
The <u>CYCLICAL</u> unemployment rate while Economy X is <u>GROWING IS</u> 0%. The 5% unemployment rate is due to structural and <u>FRICTIONAL</u> factors.
Explanation:
there are basically three types of unemployment:
- Frictional unemployment: voluntary and takes place when someone quits his/her job because they want to find a better job.
- Structural unemployment: is not voluntary and happens when the workers do not possess the required skills to fill vacant jobs.
- Cyclical unemployment: is not voluntary and happens when the economy is contracting and the businesses are forced to lay off workers.

A company threw away a computer that originally costs $8,500
They accumulated depreciation of $6,700
Hence the company will loss money, they would experience a loss of
8500-6700
= 1800
Hence the company will be at a loss of 1800
Answer:
Explanation:
a.)
Dividend discount model(DDM) is used to determine the price of a stock.
The formula is as follows;
Price ;P0 = D1 /(r-g)
D1 = Dividend in year 1
r = capitalization rate or required rate of return
g = dividend growth rate
P0 = 8/( 0.10-0.05)
P0 = 160.
The price of the Fi corporation's stock is therefore $160.
b.)
Use the formula that shows the relationship between ROE , retention rate and growth rate. It's as follows;
g = ROE *b
g = growth rate
b = retention rate
Given Earnings per Share (EPS) = $12 and dividend = $8, find dividend payout ratio first.
retention ratio = (1 -dividend payout ratio)
dividend payout ratio = 8/12 = 0.667 or 66.7%
retention ratio ; b = (1 -0.667)
b = 0.333 or 33.3%
Plug it in the formula;
0.05 = ROE * 0.333
ROE = 0.05/0.333
ROE = 0.15 or 15%
c.)
This question is asking for the Present Value of Growth Opportunity (PVGO)
The formula is as follows;
PVGO = Price - EPS1 /r
Price = $160 (from part a)
Expected earnings per share (EPS) = $12
required rate of return(capitalization rate) ; r = 10% or 0.10 as a decimal
PVGO = 160 - 12/0.10
PVGO = 160 -120
PVGO = $40
Therefore, the market is paying $40 per share for growth opportunities.
