<span>To find the amount of FICA taxes one has to contribute, there are two values needed. First, the Social Security tax rate is 0.062 (6.2%) on the first $127,200 in wages, and then the Medicare tax is 0.0145 (1.45%) on the first $200,000 in income. Adding these two figures gives the total FICA taxes. 6.2 percent of $27,000 is $1,674, and 1.45 percent of $27,000 is $391.50. Adding these two values together (1674 + 391) gives a total of $2,065, or choice (A).</span>
Answer: $4.38
Explanation:
Conversion costs are based on completed units so those units that are yet to be completed will be converted into equivalent units.
Units produced = Units completed and transferred out + equivalent WIP
= 169,000 + (26,000 * 79%)
= 169,000 + 20,540
= 189,540 units
Total Conversion costs = beginning conversion costs + conversion costs added during period
= 103,000 + 726,925
= $829,925
Conversion cost per equivalent share
= 829,925/189,540
= 4.3786
= $4.38
Answer:
If by Dark Ages, we mean the Middle Ages, then, one can safely say that business did more to bring the dark ages to an end and restore the world to civilization and progress.
The Middle Ages represented a decline in several areas, especially trade, when compared with classical antiquity (Ancient Greece and Rome).
By the late Middle Ages, several cities, especially in Italy, had began to develop trade networks again, and a merchant class was emerging.
With time, more cities became trade hubs, and this prompted economic development. Businesses grew, science and technological progress increased, and in general terms, civilization advanced more quickly in a few centuries than in the past millenia.
a.
WACC is calculated as –
WACC = (Weight of common stock X Cost of common stock) + (Weight of preferred stock X Cost of preferred stock) + (Weight of debt X After tax cost of debt)
WACC = (64% X 13.4%) + (9% X 6.4%) + (27% X ((1- 40%)*8.1%))
WACC = 10.46%
b. After tax cost of debt is calculated as –
After tax cost of debt = (1- tax rate) X cost of debt pre-tax
After tax cost of debt = ((1- 40%)*8.1%))
After tax cost of debt = 4.86%
