Answer:

Regressive tax

Explanation:

Social Security tax is the tax that is not exempted from employers and employees and which the funds are used to finance the Social Security program.

The Social Security tax finances the retirement, disability, and other benefits that eligible Americans receive under the Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) Program - the legal name of Social Security in the United States of America.

It is a Regressive tax in the sense that it takes a larger percentage of income from low-income earners than from their high-income counterparts, thereby further widening the already wide social divide between the rich and the poor.

Job satisfaction questionnaires should always be anonymous to get employees to tell the truth.A. TrueB. False
xenn [34]

Answer:

B. False

Explanation:

I would say that most of the time (the vast majority actually) questionnaires should be anonymous. Imagine if you had to answer a questionnaire about your teacher, and he/she is a really bad teacher. If the questionnaire had your name on it, you would probably be much nicer than if the questionnaire was anonymous (due to the fear of retaliation by the teacher). The same thing happens on any workplace, no one will tell how bad his/her boss is if their name will appear on the questionnaire. Employees will always fear retaliation from their supervisor or manager, so they will not be completely honest.

But on some companies, employees might not fear any type of retaliation, specially on very horizontal organizations (flat structures with few management levels). The advantage of non-anonymous questionnaires is that they can be used to actually solve problems and follow up how the problems were solved or how do employees feel after they were solved.

The problem is that non-anonymous questionnaires work for companies that probably do not need them very much in the first place, while on companies that really need them, they are anonymous.

Last year Altman Corp. had $205,000 of assets, $303,500 of sales, $18,250 of net income, and a debt-to-total-assets ratio of 41%
Monica [59]

Answer:

5.20%

Explanation:

The computation of the reduction in assets improve the ROE is shown below:

But before that we need to calculate the following things

Equity ratio = 100 - 41 = 59%

Total equity = $205,000 × 59% = $120,950

ROE = Net income ÷ Total equity

       = $18,250 ÷ $120,950

       = 15.08%

Again, Total equity = $152,500 × 59% = $89,975

ROE = Net income ÷ Total equity

        = $18,250 ÷  $89,975

        = 20.28%

Now ROE improved by

= 20.28% - 15.08%

= 5.20%

This is the answer but the same is not provided in the given options
