An employee earns $5,550 per month working for an employer. The FICA tax rate for Social Security is 6.2% of the first $127,200

of earnings each calendar year and the FICA tax rate for Medicare is 1.45% of all earnings. The current FUTA tax rate is 0.6%, and the SUTA tax rate is 4.4%. Both unemployment taxes are applied to the first $7,000 of an employee's pay. The employee has $184 in federal income taxes withheld. The employee has voluntary deductions for health insurance of $152 and contributes $76 to a retirement plan each month.

Answer:

The amount the employer should record as payroll taxes expense for the employee for the month of January is $695.75

Explanation:

According to the given, The FICA tax rate for Social Security is 6.2% and the FICA tax rate for Medicare is 1.45%. The current FUTA tax rate is 0.6%, and the SUTA tax rate is 4.4%.

The remainder are taken out of the employees' checks as part of their responsibility.

Therefore, to calculate the amount the employer should record as payroll taxes expense for the employee for the month of January we would have to make the following calculation:

Total payroll expense=($5,500 x 0.062) + ($5,500 x 0.0145) +($5,500 x 0.006) +($5,500 x 0.044)

Total payroll expense=$695.75

The amount the employer should record as payroll taxes expense for the employee for the month of January is $695.75

For the following demand equation compute the elasticity of demand and determine whether the demand is elastic, unitary, or inel
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Note: While answering this question, there is a confusion as to whether the correct demand equation is p= 157 − x2 as it appears in the question, or p= 157 − x^2 which is suspected to be the correct equation. Whichever the case may be, answers are provided for the two equations. Just confirm from the original question or your teacher which one is correct and pick the relevant answer out of the two following answers:

1. If p= 157 − x2 is the correct equation:

Elasticity of demand = - 0.15

Since -0.15 in absolute term |-0.15| is less than 1, the demand is inelastic.

2. If p= 157 − x^2 is the correct equation:

Elasticity of demand = - 0.28

Since -0.28 in absolute term |-0.28| is less than 1, the demand is also inelastic.

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand is the degree of responsive of quantity demanded of a good to change in its price.

For this question, elasticity of demand can be computed using the formula for calculating the elasticity of demand as follows:

1. If p= 157 − x2 is the correct equation

E = Elasticity of demand = (p / x) * (dx / dp) ............................... (1)

From the question, we have:

p = 157 − x2.

Therefore, we solve for as follows:

x2 = 157 - p

x = (157 - P) / 2

x = 78.5 - 0.5p ....................................................... (2)

Differentiating equation (2) with respect to p, we have:

dx/dp = -0.5

Substituting values for dx/dp and x into equation (1), we have:

E = [p / (78.5 - 0.5p)] * (-0.5)

Since p = 20, we have:

E = [20 / (78.5 - (0.5 * 20))] * (-0.5)

E = [20 / (78.5 - 10)] * (-0.5)

E = − 0.15

Since -0.15 in absolute term |-0.15| is less than 1, the demand is inelastic.

2. If p = 157 − x^2 is the correct equation

E = (p / x) * (dx / dp) ............................................ (1)

From the question, we have:

p = 157 − x^2.

Therefore, we solve for as follows:

x = 157^(1/2) – p^(1/2)

x = 157^0.5 – p^0.5 ........................................... (2)

Differentiating equation (2) with respect to p, we have:

dx/dp = -0.5p^(-0.5) = -0.5/p^0.5

Substituting values for dx/dp and x into equation (1), we have:

E = (p / x) * (dx / dp)

E = [p /  (157^0.5 – p^0.5)] * [ -0.5/p^0.5]

Since p = 20, we have:

E = [20 /  (157^0.5 – 20^0.5)] * [–0.5/20^0.5]

E = - 0.28

Since -0.28 in absolute term |-0.28| is less than 1, the demand is inelastic.

A truck acquired at a cost of $69,000 has an estimated residual value of $12,000, has an estimated useful life of 300,000 miles,
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

A. $57,000

B. Depreciation rate per mile is $0.19

C. Depreciation is $14,630

Explanation:

a. cost of the truck less the residual value.

Cost of the truck        $69,000

Less: Residual value  <u>$12,000</u>

                                   $57,000

b. Depreciation rate per mile is computed by dividing cost of the truck less the residual value over the estimated useful life.

$57,000 / 300,000 miles = $0.19

c. Units-of-activity depreciation for the year is computed by multiplying miles driven for the year by depreciation rate per mile.

77,000 miles x $0.19 = $14,630
