AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

the self-employment tax is $7,065

Explanation:

The computation of the self-employment tax is given below:

Given that

net profit = $50,000

Now the 92.35% of net profit is $46,175

As it is lower than $128,400

So,

= 15.3% of $46,175

= $7,065

Hence, the self-employment tax is $7,065

If a 25 percent decrease in the price of sapphires causes a 15 percent decrease in the quantity of diamonds demanded, then the c
natta225 [31]
To solve for the cross-price elasticity of demand:
Take the quantity of the diamonds demanded and divide it by the decrease in the price of sapphires. 
Cross-price elasticity of demand = 15/25
Cross-price elasticity of demand = 0.6

When you are solving for the cross-price elasticity of demand, you are seeing the response to the demand of a item when price changes for another good.

Ray's Pizzeria is considering the addition of a 5th worker if this increases profit. Pizza sales increased from 300 per day to 3
Anika [276]

Answer:

60 pizzas

40 pizzas

Explanation:

Marginal product measures the change in output as a result of a change in input by one unit

Marginal product = change in output / change in input

Marginal product for the 4th worker

Change in output = 360 - 300 = 60 pizzas

Change in input = 4 - 3 = 1 worker

Marginal product = 60 / 1 = 60

Marginal product for the 5th worker

Change in output = 400 - 360 = 40 pizzas

Change in input = 5 - 4 = 1

Marginal product = 40 / 1 = 40

It can be seen that marginal product decreased from 60 to 40 when the 5th worker was added. This illustrates diminishing marginal returns.

The law of diminishing returns says as more units of a variable input is added to a fixed income of production, output might increase at a point but after some time total output would increase at a decreasing rate and marginal product would be decreasing.

The Johnson Family is looking to buy a new house on Belmont Road. Their insurance deductible is increased by $500 if they live m
user100 [1]

Answer:

a) Absolute Value Inequality => Absolute(0 + y) < 2

b) -2 < y < 2

Which means, Johnson Family has to live within the range of -2 to +2 from the fire department. Otherwise, they will have to pay 500 USD as increased deductible.

Explanation:

<u><em>Johnson Family has to live within the range of -2 to +2 from the fire department. </em></u>

<em>a) Absolute Value Equation:</em>

Absolute(0 + y) < 2

where y represent the location of the new house and 0 represents the location of the fire department.

Furthermore,

<em>Absolute(0 + y) < 2 = (0 + x) < 2 when (0 + y) is +ve. </em>

and

<em>Absolute(0+y) <2 =  -(0 + x) < 2 when (0 + y) is -ve. </em>

b) When (0 + y) is +ve,

we have,  (0 + y) < 2.

<em>Solving for y and subtracting 0 from both sides. </em>

0-0 + y < 2 - 0

<em>y < 2</em>

and when (0 + y) is -ve,

<em>we have, - (0 + y) < 2. </em>

Solving for y:

- 0 - y < 2

multiplying negative from both sides

<em>y > - 2</em>

<em>So, we have -2 < y < 2 </em>

<em>Johnson Family has to live within the range of -2 to +2 from the fire department. Otherwise, they will have to pay 500 USD as increased deductible. </em>
