Which two were weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation?

Business
1 answer:
Minchanka [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

A. The federal government could not levy taxes.

C. The federal government could not raise an army.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation established a confederacy in which the states were given full sovereignty and the central government was given very few powers. Some of the weaknesses of this constitution was that the government could not levy taxes and therefore was unable not pay their expenses and debts owed from the Revolution or to secure new funds, instead it could only raise money by borrowing from foreign governments, selling western lands or asking the states for funds (which had the option to reject the request). Likewise, even though the government had the power to declare war, it wasn't authorized to draft soldiers from the states and therefore, it was also unable to raise an army.

alekssr [168]

  • computer programmer $3,300
  • administrator $2,800

Net pay:

  • consultant $2,767.98
  • computer programmer $2,295.48
  • administrator $1,993.98

Explanation:

                                           regular earnings     overtime    withholding  

                                                                                              allowances

Consultant                        $4,000 per week       N/A                2

Computer programmer          $60 per hour        1.5                  1

Administrator                          $50 per hour          2                  2

computer programmer worked 50 hours = ($60 x 40) + ($60 x 10 x 1.5) = $3,300

administrator worked 48 hours = ($50 x 40) + ($50 x 8 x 2) = $2,800

Social security taxes:

  • Consultant = 6% x $4,000 = $240                        
  • Computer programmer = 6% x $3,300 = $198        
  • Administrator = 6% x $2,800 = $168

Medicare taxes:

  • Consultant = 1.5% x $4,000 = $60                        
  • Computer programmer = 1.5% x $3,300 = $49.50        
  • Administrator = 1.5% x $2,800 = $42

Federal income taxes:

  • Consultant: amount subject to withholding = $4,000 - (2 x $75) = $3,850. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($3,850 - $1,796) = $932.02                        
  • Computer programmer = amount subject to withholding = $3,300 - (1 x $75) = $3,225. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($3,225 - $1,796) = $757.02            
  • Administrator = amount subject to withholding = $2,800 - (2 x $75) = $2,650. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($2,650 - $1,796) = $596.02  

Gross pay:

  • consultant $4,000
  • computer programmer $3,300
  • administrator $2,800

Net pay:

  • consultant $4,000 - ($240 + $60 + $932.02) = $2,767.98
  • computer programmer $3,300 - ($198 + $49.50 + $757.02) = $2,295.48
  • administrator $2,800 - ($168 + $42 + $596.02) = $1,993.98

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

The current stock price is $21.54

Explanation:

The current price of the share of Knightmare Inc is the present value of all future cash flows receivable from owning stake in the company.

The future cash flows in this sense are the dividends payable by the company in years 1,2 and 3 which are $6.15,$9.05 and $12.25 per share respectively.

The discount factor in this case is given as 1/(1+r)^N where  r is the required rate of return of 11.7% and the relevant year of dividend receipt,hence the share price is computed thus:

Year   cash flow discount factor               PV

1            $6.15      1/(1+11.7%)^1=0.89525   $5.5

2             $9.05  1/(1+11.7%)^2=0.80148      $7,25

3            $12.25  1/(1+11.7%)^3=0.71753        $8.79

Total present value                                      $21.54
