Answer:

Gross Wages = $950

Explanation:

The question is to determine the employee's gross pay for the first week of January as follows:

Description                                                        Amount

Regular wages (Regular hours 40 x $20)       $800

Overtime wages                                                $150

(Total hours - regular hours) x rate per hour

x pay rate

( 45-40) x $20 x 150%

<u>Gross Wages                                                     </u><u>$950</u>

<u></u>

However, not that if you are to calculate the net wages, social security which is Gross x 6.2%, Medicare which is Gross x 1.45% and Federal Income tax which is $92 withheld will be subtracted from the gross pay or wages.

Answer:

$950

Explanation:

Gross pay refers to the total income of an employee before taxes and deductions are removed.

The employee gross pay for the first week of January is calculated as follows:

Regular income = $20 × 40 hours = 800

Overtime income = ($20 × 150%) × (45 - 40 hours)

                             = $30 × 5 hours = $150

Gross pay = $800 + $150 = $950

NOTE

The following is not stated in the question but just meant to teach you how to calculate the net pay from the question in case you are later asked to calculate it.

Net pay refers to the total income of an employee after taxes and deductions are removed. It can be calculated as follows:

FICA Social Security = 6.2% × $950 = $58.90

Note that 6.2% of the remaining amount of $127,450 (i.e. $128,400 - $959 = $127,450) will still be deducted in the subsequent employee's income to account for the total FICA Social Security deductible.

FICA Medicare = 1.45% × $950 = $13.78

Federal income tax withheld = $92

Total deduction = $58.90 + $13.78 + $92 = $164.68

Note: As stated in the question, the employee's wages are subject to no deductions other than FICA Social Security, FICA Medicare, and federal income taxes. This implies that her wages are not subject to FUTA and the SUTA tax. That is why they are not included in the calculation of the total deduction.

Net Pay = Gross pay - total deduction = $950 - $164.68 = $785.32.

Coronado Company received proceeds of $209000 on 10-year, 5% bonds issued on January 1, 2016. The bonds had a face value of $220
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Coronado Company

The amount of gain or loss that Coronado would report on its 2018 income statement is:

= $13,200.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Bonds proceeds = $209,000

Bonds face value =  220,000

Bonds Discounts = $11,000

Period of bonds = 10 years

Straight-line amortization = $1,100 annually

Interest payment = annually

Coupon rate rate = 5%

Fair value on January 1, 2017 = $210,100 ($209,000 + $1,100)

Fair value on January 1, 2018 = $211,200 ($210,100 + $1,100)

Call price = 102

Total call value (cash payment) = $224,400 ($220,000 * 102/100)

Loss to report on its 2018 income statement = $13,200 ($224,400 - $209,000 - $2,200)
