Answer:

Tax = $5,445

Explanation:

Given

Salary = $80,000

Short-term capital loss = $2,000

Cash prize = $4,000

Personal and dependency exemptions = $4,000*7 = $28,000

Standard deductions = $11,900 (for surviving spouse in 2012)

Calculating AGI

AGI = Salary - Capital Loss + Cash Prize

AGI = $80,000 - $2,000 + $4,000

AGI = $82,000

Calculating Taxable Income

Taxable Income = AGI - Personal And Dependency Exemption - Standard Deductions

Taxable Income = $82,000 - $28,000 - $11,900

Taxable Income = $42,100

From The Federal Income Tax Brackets for 2012,

Charlotte falls with the 15% tax bracket.

There are 15% tax, so we calculate as follows:

10% of the first bracket is

$17,400 * 10% = $1,740

15% is the amount in the second bracket

15% of (42,100 - 17400) = 3,705

Tax = $3,705+ $1,740

Tax = $5,445

Year                                                                           Annual Amortization

2020    88,560 * 5/24                                                      $‭18,450‬

2021      88,560 * 5/24                                                     $‭18,450‬

2022      88,560 * 5/24                                                    $‭18,450‬

2023      88,560 * 4/24                                                    $‭14,760‬

2024      88,560 * 3/24                                                    $‭11,070‬

2025     88,560 * 2/24                                                     $‭7,380‬

When p = $5, the quantity demanded of a good is 30 units, and the quantity supplied of the good is 50 units. For every $1 decrea
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer: Equilibrium price is $3 and equilibrium quantity is 40 units.

Explanation:

Demand equation is given by,

Qd= a-bP When P=$5, Qd=30 30 = a – 5b Change in Quantity demanded =  Change in a – (b Change in P) 5 = 0 – b(-1) b=5 So, a = 55

Therefore the demand equation is given by, Qd= 55 – 5P

Supply equation is given by

Qs= c + dP When P=$5, Qs = 50 50 = c + 5d Change in Quantity supplied = Change in c + d(Change in P) -5 = 0 + d(-1) d=5 So, c=25

Therefore, the supply equation is given by,  

Qs= 25 + 5P

Equilibrium is given by

Qd=Qs 55 – 5P= 25 + 5P 30=10P P=$3 And  Equilibrium quantity is, Q= 55 – 5(3) = 55 – 15 = 40 units.
