Dave and his friend Stewart each owns 50 percent of KBS. During the year, Dave receives $75,000

qaws [65]

Answer: $12717

Explanation:

1. The amount of FICA and/or self-employment tax that Dave is required to pay on his compensation and his

share of the KBS income if KBS is formed as a C corporation, will be:

= 7.65% × $75000

= 7.65/100 × $75000

= 0.0765 × $75000

= $5738

2. As an S Corporation will be:

= 7.65% × $75000

= 7.65/100 × $75000

= 0.0765 × $75000

= $5738

3. As a limited liability company will be:

Dave's compensation = 75,000

Dave's portion of income will be calculated as:

= 50% × $30,000

= 0.5 × $30,000

= $15,000

Total will then be:

= $75000 + $15000 = $90000

We then calculate the net earnings which will be:

= 92.35% × $90000

= 0.9235 × $90000

= $83115

The FICA and/or self-employment tax that Dave is required to pay will then be:

= 15.3% × $83115

= 0.153 × $83115

= $12717

Jill - Marketing Consultant - Self Employed

Household Income: $140,000 Joint Income

($100,000 for Jack and $40,000 for Jill)

Net Worth: $1,100,000 (excluding residence)

Own Home: Yes $420,000 Value, No Mortgage

Investment Objectives: Income / Tax Advantaged

Retirement Accounts:

Jack's IRA: $100,000 invested in growth stocks

Jack's 401(k): $600,000 invested in Dyno-Mite Corp. stock

Jack's 529 Plan for Grandchild: $20,000 in growth mutual fund

To meet the customer's investment objective of tax advantaged income, the BEST recommendation is for the customer to:

A. immediately liquidate the entire Dyno-Mite position and invest the proceeds in high yield bonds

B. set a minimum and maximum threshold price to liquidate as much of the Dyno-Mite stock as the customer will permit, and invest the proceeds in high yielding common and preferred stocks

C. liquidate the IRA without penalty since Jack is past age 59 1/2, and use the proceeds to buy corporate income bonds

D. consider early retirement, since Jack is old enough to receive Social Security as a means of supplementing income

Answer:

B. set a minimum and maximum threshold price to liquidate as much of the Dyno-Mite stock as the customer will permit, and invest the proceeds in high yielding common and preferred stocks

Explanation:

Given that, the customer has a "moderate" risk tolerance level and dividend income is at the moment taxed at the preferential rate of 15%, therefore, it is expected that investments in high yielding common and preferred stocks will meet the customer's objective of tax-advantaged income.

Hence, the right answer is Option B. set a minimum and maximum threshold price to liquidate as much of the Dyno-Mite stock as the customer will permit, and invest the proceeds in high yielding common and preferred stocks

groupthink

Explanation:

In team discussions and debates, groupthink is a common phenomenon where team members tend to agree with others without a constructive discussion filled with arguments. It is very common when an authoritative person (manager) is leading the discourse of discussion.

In this example, the reached consensus is an example of groupthink, since the team members did not critically evaluate the troublesome issue.

Harriet has been assigned the task of setting up work teams for a complex software development project. Each team has different

madam [21]

Answer:

Option B (Wheel) is the right answer.

Explanation:

That was the most suited wheel-based networking architecture. So every team works reasonably amongst the many departments together, communicated as well as worked together as a centralized control through hubs.
Instead, every crew here works alone and is interconnected to the hub so that it wouldn't immediately impact the activities of some other groups.

The other four alternatives aren't connected to the given scenario. So the above is the right option.
