Answer:
(B) Hire the firefighter if the cost of the new firefighter is less than $75,000.
Explanation:
The city should hire the Firefighter only if the cost of new firefighter is less than $75,000.
Since $5 x 15000 residents = $75, 000.
Therefore it is still beneficial to hire a new firefighter if the cost is less than $75, 000
Answer:
499.80
Explanation:
There is no 39.6% tax bracket, the highest marginal tax is 37%. But we can assume that Mikey had to pay 39.6% in taxes which means that he is in the seventh tax bracket (highest). Since he is classified under the highest tax bracket, he will also pay the highest capital gains rate which is 20%.
Mikey's long term capital gain = $4,950 - $2,400 = $2,550
if he paid regular income taxes = $2,550 x 39.6% = $1,009.80
since he pays capital gains taxes = $2,550 x 20% = $510
That means he saves $1,009.80 - $510 = 499.80
Answer:
Deferred income tax expense = $7,161
Explanation:
Given:
Bed debts increase = $6,800
Depericiation increase = $40,900
Tax-exempt life insurance = $3,450
Computation:
Assume tax rate = 21%
Taxable difference = 40,900 - 6,800
Taxable difference = 34,100
Deferred income tax expense = 34,100 × 21%
Deferred income tax expense = $7,161
