Answer:

Apples supply increase imply new equilibrium at lower price, higher quantity. Demand downwards expansion on the curve itself is due to lower price.

Explanation:

Market is at equilibrium where Market Demand = Market Supply, & downward sloping  demand curve intersects upward sloping demand curve.

If supply of apples increase & supply curve shifts rightwards, there is Excess Supply at previous equilibrium. Excess Supply creates competition among sellers, reduces new market price.

At lower price, demand expands & supply contratcs. New Equilibrium quantity is higher where new (rightwards shifted) supply curve intersects demand curve.

Quantity demanded increases (expands - downwards movement on demand curve) due to lower price, despite of no change in demand.

Forsyth County charges a 7% sales tax. If you bought a new printer form $3250.00, what is the total cost for the printer?
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Total cost = $3477.5

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Sales tax = 7%

Cost price = $3250.00

To find the total cost for the printer;

First of all, we would determine the sales tax

Sales tax = 7/100 * 3250

Sales tax = 7 * 32.5

Sales tax = $227.5

Now, we can find the total cost;

Total cost = sales tax + cost price

Total cost = 227.5 + 3250

Total cost = $3477.5

  • computer programmer $3,300
  • administrator $2,800

Net pay:

  • consultant $2,767.98
  • computer programmer $2,295.48
  • administrator $1,993.98

Explanation:

                                           regular earnings     overtime    withholding  

                                                                                              allowances

Consultant                        $4,000 per week       N/A                2

Computer programmer          $60 per hour        1.5                  1

Administrator                          $50 per hour          2                  2

computer programmer worked 50 hours = ($60 x 40) + ($60 x 10 x 1.5) = $3,300

administrator worked 48 hours = ($50 x 40) + ($50 x 8 x 2) = $2,800

Social security taxes:

  • Consultant = 6% x $4,000 = $240                        
  • Computer programmer = 6% x $3,300 = $198        
  • Administrator = 6% x $2,800 = $168

Medicare taxes:

  • Consultant = 1.5% x $4,000 = $60                        
  • Computer programmer = 1.5% x $3,300 = $49.50        
  • Administrator = 1.5% x $2,800 = $42

Federal income taxes:

  • Consultant: amount subject to withholding = $4,000 - (2 x $75) = $3,850. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($3,850 - $1,796) = $932.02                        
  • Computer programmer = amount subject to withholding = $3,300 - (1 x $75) = $3,225. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($3,225 - $1,796) = $757.02            
  • Administrator = amount subject to withholding = $2,800 - (2 x $75) = $2,650. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($2,650 - $1,796) = $596.02  

Gross pay:

  • consultant $4,000
  • computer programmer $3,300
  • administrator $2,800

Net pay:

  • consultant $4,000 - ($240 + $60 + $932.02) = $2,767.98
  • computer programmer $3,300 - ($198 + $49.50 + $757.02) = $2,295.48
  • administrator $2,800 - ($168 + $42 + $596.02) = $1,993.98

g When a sexual harassment complaint is filed speculation sometime occurs about who is the complainant. One result can be retali
frez [133]

Answer and explanation:

Sexual harassment is the act by which employees of an organization tend to use their hierarchical position in the firm to influence other employees in engaging personal relationships with them, without the need for the harassed employee to be interested in such a relationship.

The first step to mitigate this unethical behavior is to file a complaint in the Human Resources (HR) department of the company. If there are doubts about the complainant employee, that employee should look for protection from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) which is the governmental agency in charge of enforcing rules against any type of discrimination or unfair treatment in the work-frame.
