Answer: a. Decreases, Increases

Explanation:

With each installment paid, the interest expense goes down while the principal repayment goes up. This is because the amount of Principal reduces with every payment therefore the interest is charged on a lesser figure.

For example, assume $10,000 is to be paid per month on $100,000 mortgage with a 10% rate.

The first time the 10% is charged on $100,000 it will give $10,000 and since the payment is $10,000, all of it will be considered interest.

The second time the 10% is charged it will be charged on $90,000 (100,000 - first payment of $10,000) instead which will.mean interest payment is now only $9,000 (10% of $90,000). The difference of $1,000 ($10,000 payable every month and interest of $9,000) will be Principal repayment.

The third time around then, the amount left is $80,000. Interest payment will be $8,000 and Principal repayment becomes $2,000.

And so on and so forth.

Tanya [424]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Salaries Payable would be recorded in the amount of 13,542.39.

Explanation:

Given that the company's gross payroll is $19,676, and that a discount of $3,438 must be applied by the Federal Income Tax, a 6% social security rate, a 0.8% federal unemployment rate, a 1.5% rate Medicare and 5.4% state unemployment rate, the following gross discounts must be made to gross payroll to determine wages to be paid after taxes:

3,438 (Federal Income Tax)

19,676 x 0.06 = 1,180.56 (social security rate)

19,676 x 0.008 = 157.408 (federal unemployment rate)

19,676 x 0.015 = 295.14 (Medicare rate)

19,676 x 0.054 = 1,062.5 (state unemployment rate)

Therefore, those discounts should be subtracted from the gross payroll in order to get the Salaries Payable:

19,676 - 3,438 - 1,180.56 - 157.4 - 295.14 - 1,062.5 = 13,542.39.

andriy [413]

Answer:

$11,000

Explanation:

Fabricating Department budgeted direct labor = $9,280

Depreciation remains constant at any level of production.

Budgeted labor rate = Budgeted direct labor ÷ Hours of production

                                  = $9,280 ÷ 640

                                  = $14.5 per hour

Direct labor cost = completed hours of production × Budgeted labor rate

                            = 600 × $14.5

                            = $8,700

Budget for the Fabricating Department at 600 hours of production:

Budgeted cost = Direct labor cost + Equipment depreciation

                         = $8,700 + $2,300

                         = $11,000
