Explanation:
Answer:
Gross pay:
- consultant $4,000
- computer programmer $3,300
- administrator $2,800
Net pay:
- consultant $2,767.98
- computer programmer $2,295.48
- administrator $1,993.98
Explanation:
regular earnings overtime withholding
allowances
Consultant $4,000 per week N/A 2
Computer programmer $60 per hour 1.5 1
Administrator $50 per hour 2 2
computer programmer worked 50 hours = ($60 x 40) + ($60 x 10 x 1.5) = $3,300
administrator worked 48 hours = ($50 x 40) + ($50 x 8 x 2) = $2,800
Social security taxes:
-
Consultant = 6% x $4,000 = $240
- Computer programmer = 6% x $3,300 = $198
- Administrator = 6% x $2,800 = $168
Medicare taxes:
- Consultant = 1.5% x $4,000 = $60
- Computer programmer = 1.5% x $3,300 = $49.50
- Administrator = 1.5% x $2,800 = $42
Federal income taxes:
- Consultant: amount subject to withholding = $4,000 - (2 x $75) = $3,850. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($3,850 - $1,796) = $932.02
- Computer programmer = amount subject to withholding = $3,300 - (1 x $75) = $3,225. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($3,225 - $1,796) = $757.02
- Administrator = amount subject to withholding = $2,800 - (2 x $75) = $2,650. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($2,650 - $1,796) = $596.02
Gross pay:
- consultant $4,000
- computer programmer $3,300
- administrator $2,800
Net pay:
- consultant $4,000 - ($240 + $60 + $932.02) = $2,767.98
- computer programmer $3,300 - ($198 + $49.50 + $757.02) = $2,295.48
- administrator $2,800 - ($168 + $42 + $596.02) = $1,993.98
Answer:
These are the options for the question:
A) deregulation
B) socialism
C) totalitarian ideologies
D) command economies
And this is the correct answer:
A) deregulation
Explanation:
According to the information in the question, the nation of Zorwaya is regime where political leadership has tight control over economic matters. The highest authority controls both prices and production (a staple of socialism and planned economies), and opposes most foreign investment, only allowing it after strict scrutiny and tight control.
In this nation, political leadership would oppose deregulation because this would reduce their power over the economy. Deregulation would likely mean easening price controls, allowing production to flow more freely, or lifting restrictions to foreign capital, things that Zorwaya's leaders oppose.
Answer: A. Lowering the degree of operating leverage.
Explanation:
The degree of operating leverage measure how much the earnings from a project will change as a result of sales.
If you are worried about the cash flow forecasts, it would be best to lower the operating leverage so as to reduce the forecasting error associated with the project. If the operating leverage is high then a small change in sales could impact income in a relatively huge way. By reducing the DOL, the cashflow from the project is easier to forecast and therefore more reliable.
Answer:
Allocate existing resources more efficiently among competing uses.
Explanation:
The main goal of resource development is to find ways that allocate resources more efificiently, to spread the available resources in a way that maximizes economic and social benefit taking into account the different competing uses.
Resource development does not necessarily promote central planning because it can make use of market strategies to achieve its goal, and it cannot increase the amount of resources available as well, because these are determined by the natural endownment that each area has.
