Answer:
1. b. $896.00
2. c. $317.20
3. a. $578.80
4. b. $67.20
5. d. $4.80
Explanation:
1. WIlliam's total earnings
40 hours at $16 = $640
8 hours at $32 = $256
Total = $896
2. WIlliam's total deductions
Income Tax $200
United Fund deduction $50
Social security tax (6% * $896) $3.76
Medicare tax (1.5% * $896) <u>$13.44</u>
Total <u>$317.20</u>
3. William's net pay
= Total earnings - Total deductions
= $896 - $317.20
= $578.80
Cash Paid is $578.80
4. Employers FICA based on Williams pay
Social Security and Medicare taxes = 7.5% * $869 = $67.20
5. Employers Federal Unemployment based on Williams pay
Federal unemployment tax = 0.8% * $600 = $4.80
Answer:
Flagon Transcontinental Corp.'s board of directors announced that it will pay a $1 million dividend in three months on this date - Declaration Date On the declaration date, the firm announces that it will pay dividends. If the company is large, it pays for a press release on a newspaper, or even, on TV.
Transcontinental Corp. actually sent the dividend checks to stockholders on this date - Payment Date.
Self-explanatory, this is the date on which checks are sent to shareholders who were recorded eligible for payment on the record-date.
Flagon Transcontinental Corp.'s board of directors declared that whoever is listed as the owner of the stock on this date will receive the dividend for this year - Holder-of-Record date.
Also known as the record date, on this date, the firm determines which shareholders will receive the dividend.
Transcontinental Corp.'s board of directors set this date as the date on which the right to the current dividend no longer accompanies the stock - Ex-Dividend Date.
On this date, the value of the next dividend payment is substracted from the stock price. The Ex-Dividend Date is usually the day before the Record-Date, because shareholders that were found uneligible for dividend payment are now the holders of ex-dividend stocks.
Answer:
What is the Value of Bank Deposits?
bank deposits = bank reserves / required reserve ratio = $200 / 20% = $1,000
What is the Money Supply?
money supply = bank deposits + currency held by the public = $1,000 + $1,00 = $2,000
Suppose that the Fed sells $50 worth of bonds in an "open market sale." Assuming that the public does not wish to change the amount of currency it holds, what is the new money supply after this open market purchase?
if the FED sells $50 worth of bonds, money supply will decrease by $50 x (1 / 20%) = $50 x 5 = $250
total money supply = $2,000 - $250 = $1,750
Explanation:
1. The ceterus paribus effect gives us to what extent, the effect of a variable has on another variable, while holding all other factors fixed. Analysing job training of workers on productivity will give us results that are not biased since we will not be taking account of other factor variables in the calculations. When 2 firms are the same in almost every aspect apart from number of hours on training, then we will find out that each firm would have different levels of workers output. So we should know if workers output increases due to job training.
2. When it comes to provision of training, furms do these based on characteristics of the workers. Some of these characteristics are measurable while some are immeasurable
Measurable:
Experience on the job,
Productivity
Level of education,
immeasurable :
Skill set
Vision
Likeliness to bstay at firm
3. Apart from worker characteristics, productivity also depends on other factors one of which is technological change. A technological change can bring about increased efficiency and greater output by the worker. Different firms using different capital and technological combination are quite likely to have different output levels.
4. A positive correlation between job training and productivity cannot be used to ascertain if job training makes worker more efficient this is due to the fact that correlation only tells us if variables are in coexistence. So a positive correlation does not tell us that job training is indeed bringing about changes in the productivity of workers.
