Answer:

$180

Explanation:

the monthly payment = principal / annuity factor

principal = $250,000 x 80% = $200,000
PV annuity factor, 360 periods, 0.38542%= 194.4995527

monthly payment = $200,000 / 194.4995527 = $1,028.28

in total, you will pay $1,028.28 x 360 = $370,180.80, so total interests = $370,180.80 - $200,000 = $170,180.80

the biweekly payment = principal / annuity factor

principal = $250,000 x 80% = $200,000
PV annuity factor, 780 periods, 0.178%= 421.62071

monthly payment = $200,000 / 421.62071 = $474.36

in total, you will pay $474.36 x 780 = $370,000.80, so total interests = $370,000.80 - $200,000 = $170,000.80

During the 30 year period, you will be able to save $170,180.80 - $170,000.80 = $180 in interests

In a certain jurisdiction caroline, who is earning $42,200, currently pays a flat percentage of 25% income tax. The tax authorit

NISA [10]

The amount of tax paid less by Caroline as per the new taxation policies will be $950 over her annual salary of $42,200 after the taxes are applied assuming deductions being made.

The calculation of tax saved by Caroline will be done on the basis of comparing the taxation rates of both the policies after taking the changes into account.

<h3>Calculation of tax savings</h3>

The formula for calculation of tax will be done as follows when the taxes are charged on flat basis under the old policy,

$\rm Income\ Tax= Salary\ x\ Rate\ of\ Taxation\\\\\rm Income\ Tax= 42200\ x\ {\dfrac{25}{100}\\\\\\\\\\\\\\rm Income\ Tax= \$10550$

The taxation for the first $20000 as per the new policy will be

$\rm Income\ Tax\ Threshold= 20000\ x\ \dfrac{15}{100}\\\\\rm Income\ Tax= \$3000$

Calculating further taxation,

$\rm Income\ Tax= 22200\ x\ \dfrac{30}{100}\\\\\rm Income\ Tax= \$6600$

So, total taxation as per the new policy will be $9600. Now comparing the taxation of old scheme with new scheme, we get,

$\rm Income\ Tax\ Savings= Old\ Taxation - New\ Taxation\\\\\rm Income\ Tax\ Savings=10550-9600\\\\\rm Income\ Tax\ Savings=950$

So, the total taxes saved are $950 when the taxation rate changes.

Hence, the correct statement is that tax savings of $950 is possible when the authorities change the taxation rates to such slab rates by Caroline.

Kruka [31]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

A sole proprietorship is owned and managed by a single person. The owner is responsible for all the decisions and actions of his or her business. The owner may hire workers to assist in running the business. The workers remain workers and not partners in the business.

The law does not distinguish between the business and the owner. Any liabilities arising from the business are considered to be the owner's liability. In this wedding situation, the sole proprietor is solely responsible for the mistakes of his assistant.
