Answer:

B) People face trade-offs

Explanation:

A trade-off happens when you have to balance two (or three in this case) opposing situations. In economics all resources are scarce, and time is the only resource that everyone shares equally. Bob is facing opportunity costs, i.e. if he chooses to train one activity he cannot train the other.

Bob has to decide how to divide the time he can spend training. If he chooses running, he can´t swim or ride a bike. So he has to balance the time spent on each activity, probably depending on which sport he needs to train the most.

This year, Paula and Simon (married filing jointly) estimate that their tax liability will be $218,000. Last year, their total t
romanna [79]

Answer:

1. Yes

2. $7,400

Explanation:

Basic Rules For Estimated Tax For Individuals

Any individual who has estimated tax for the year of $1,000 or more and  whose withholding does not equal or exceed the “required annual payment” must make quarterly payments. Otherwise, a penalty may be assessed. The required annual payment is the smaller of the following amounts:  

1.Ninety percent of the tax shown on the current year's return.  

2.One hundred percent of the tax shown on the preceding year's return (the return must cover the full 12 months of the preceding year). If the AGI on the preceding year's return exceeds $150,000 ($75,000 if married filing separately), the 100% requirement is increased to 110%.

Are Paula and Simon required to increase their withholdings or make estimated tax payments this year to avoid the underpayment penalty?

Following the basic rules above, yes, Paula and Simon have to increase their withholdings or make estimated tax payments this year to avoid the underpayment penalty.

If so, how much?

Amount of income tax liability = $218,000

In general, taxpayers must pay at least 90 percent of their tax bill during the year to avoid an underpayment penalty when they file.

Therefore Minimum estimated payments-90% : $218,000 * 0.9 = $196,200

110% of the preceding year's tax: $182,000 * 1.10 = $200,200

According to the basic rules the required annual payment is the smaller which is $196,200.

Tax withholding from their employers = $188,800

Estimated tax payments required = $196,200 - $188,800 = $7,400

Compute the Z-scores for the second observation of the following data values: X: 462 490 350 294 574
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

0.5

Explanation:

Zscore = (x - mean) / standard deviation

Given the data:

X : 462 490 350 294 574

The second observation = 490

The mean and standard deviation of the data could be obtained using a calculator :

Mean = 434

standard deviation = 112

ZSCORE = (490 - 434) / 112

ZSCORE = 56 / 112

ZSCORE = 0.5

Calculating the Predetermined Overhead Rate, Applying Overhead to Production, Reconciling Overhead at the End of the Year, Adjus
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated:

Overhead $160,000

Direct labor hours 80,000

Han uses normal costing and applies overhead based on direct labor hours.

For January, direct labor hours were 8,150.

By the end of the year, Han showed the following actual amounts:

Overhead $166,000

Direct labor hours 79,600

Assume that the unadjusted Cost of Goods Sold for Han was $176,000.

1) Predetermined overhead rate= total estimated overhead for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined overhead rate=160000/80000= $2 per hour

2) Applied overhead (January)= Predetermined overhead rate*actual hours= 2*8150= $16,300

3) Applied overhead for the year= 2*79600= $159,200

Over/under applied= actual overhead - applied overhead= 166000 - 159200= 6800 underapplied

4) COGS= 176000

Underapplied overhead= 6800

COGS adjusted= $182,800
