Debentures are bonds that are not backed by any physical collateral. They are backed by the reputation and creditworthiness of the issuing company.

What is debenture and its characteristics?

An extended source of funding is provided by the debentures. They are made up of a protracted predetermined maturity phase. The debentures are typically repaid at the conclusion of their 10–20 year maturity period. The business returns the investor's principal investment amount at maturity.

Savatey [412]

Answer and explanation:

the table below shows the impact of dropping beta product

Loss of Contribution Margin if Beta is Dropped (75,000*64) -$4,800,000

Traceable Fixed Manufacturing Overhead (123,000*33) $4,059,000

Incremental Contribution Margin from Additional Alpha Sales (15,000*72)

$1,080,000

Increase in Net Operating Income if Beta is Dropped $339,000

Notes:

Contribution Margin Per Unit (Beta) = 150 (Selling Price) - 15 (Direct Material) - 28 (Direct Labor) - 20 (Variable Manufacturing Overhead) - 23 (Variable Selling Expenses) = $64 per unit

Contribution Margin Per Unit (Alpha) = 195 (Selling Price) - 40 (Direct Material) - 34 (Direct Labor) - 22 (Variable Manufacturing Overhead) - 27 (Variable Selling Expenses) = $72 per unit

Solve the problem using 6.2%, up to $128,400 for Social Security tax and using 1.45%, no wage limit, for Medicare tax.

bekas [8.4K]

$3878.55

Explanation:

Step 1 :

It is given that Kristy has a biweekly gross earnings of $1950.

Since it is bi-weekly payments there are 26 payments in the year.

Gross earnings per year = 1950 * 26 = $50,700

Step 2 :

It is given that the social security tax is 6.2% up to $128,400. Kristy's earnings of 50,700$ does not exceed the threshold $128,400, hence 6.2% of her entire income is subject to social security withholding.

Social security withholding = 6.2% of 50,700 = 6.2*50700/100 = $3143.40

Step 3 :

It is given that Medicare tax is 1.45% with no wage limit

Medicare withholding = 1.45% of 50,700 = 1.45*50700/100 = $735.15

Total withholding = Social Security withholding + Medicare withholding 3143.40 + 735.15 = $3878.55
