Answer:

Scott Company

Journal Entries:

January 31:

Debit Payroll $80,000

Credit Salaries Payable $57,200

Credit Payroll Taxes Payable $22,800

To record the salaries and taxes payable.

Debit Salaries Payable $57,200

Debit Payroll Taxes Payable $22,800

Credit Cash $80,000

To record the payment of the salaries and taxes.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Number of sales employees = 5

Salary per month = $16,000 each

Withholding taxes:

FICA social security taxes of 6.2% = $992

Medicare taxes  1.45% = $232

Federal income tax = 16% = $2,560

Monthly Medical Insurance = $440

FUTA = 0.8% of the first $7,000 = $56

SUTA = 4.0% of the first $7,000 = $280

Total withholding tax deductions = $4,560

Payroll total ($16,000 * 5) = $80,000

Withholding taxes for each:

FICA social security taxes of 6.2% = $992 * 5 - $4,960

Medicare taxes  1.45% = $232 * 5 - $1,160

Federal income tax = 16% = $2,560 * 5 - $12,800

Monthly Medical Insurance = $440 * 5 - $2,200

FUTA = 0.8% of the first $7,000 = $56 * 5 - $280

SUTA = 4.0% of the first $7,000 = $280 * 5 - $1,400

Total withholding tax deductions = $4,560 * 5 = $22,800

Net pay = $57,200

The monopoly demand curve is _____________, while the perfectly competitive firm’s demand curve is _______________. This is beca
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Downward sloping; horizontal line; demand; large number of competitors

Explanation:

A monopoly is a market structure where there is only a single firm in the market. This firm is a price maker. It can charge whatever price it wants, but the consumers will demand more at a lower price.  

That is why the demand curve of a monopoly is downward sloping and the same as the market demand curve.  

A perfectly competitive market refers to the market structure where there is a large number of buyers and sellers. These firms are price takers. They face a horizontal line demand curve. This is because of a large number of competitors producing homogenous products. So if a firm raises its prices the consumers will move to the firm at a lower price.  

The market demand curve though is downward sloping.

In which situation would a certificate of deposit (CD) be the best banking choice
anzhelika [568]

A certificate of deposit (CD) would be the best banking choice when the interest rate is determined ahead of time and there is an assurance to get back what you put in plus interest once the CD matures.  If you leave the money alone during the investment period then the bank will pay you an interest rate slightly higher than what you would have earned in a money market or checking account. Thus, all gains from certificate of deposits are taxable as income unless they are in a tax-deferred (IRA) r tax-free (Roth IRA) account.
