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.

If the marginal benefit of one more unit of a public good is $500 for Sam and $300 for Alex, the social benefit of one more unit
Alja [10]

Answer: $800 since the benefit of one more unit goes to both individuals.

Explanation:

The benefit of one more public good will go to both Sam and Alex. For this reason, the total benefit is the sum of the benefits that go to the both of them.

Sam benefits $500 and Alex benefits $300.

= 300 + 500

= $800

$800 goes to the both of them and so is the social benefit of one more unit of the public good.

When using the simple EOQ model to determine optimal order quantity, which of the following is true?
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

C. Order quantity increases as holding cost per unit per year decreases

Explanation:

the formula for calculating economic order quantity (EOQ) is:

EOQ = √(2SD/H)

  • S = cost per order
  • D = annual demand
  • H = holding cost per unit

If holding cost per unit (H) decreases, the EOQ will increase. Whenever you are dividing, if the denominator decreases, the result will be larger.

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

The price will the state bonds sell would be $951.46

In order to calculate the price will the state bonds sell we would have to make the following calculation:

price will the state bonds sell=price to be converted/(1+interest rate)∧n

According to given data we have the following:

price to be converted=can be converted to $1,000 at maturity date of five year from purchase

interest rate=1%

n=5

Therefore, price will the state bonds sell=$1,000/(1+1%)^5

price will the state bonds sell=$951.46

The price will the state bonds sell would be $951.46
