Answer:

b. 10.426%

Explanation:

Using the attached formula, convert the nominal rate to effective annual rate

<em>m</em> in the formula is the number of compounding periods per year; 12/2 = 6 in this case.

APR is the nominal rate which is 10%.

Next, plug in the numbers to the formula as shown below;

EAR = [1+\frac{0.10}{6}]^{6} -1

EAR = 1.10426-1

EAR = 0.10426 or 10.426% as a percentage

Hence choice B is correct.

Imagine that an economic recession erodes consumer confidence. As a result, the marginal propensity to consume drops from .8 to
Serga [27]

Answer:

Increased government spending will be less effective for raising the Marginal Propensity to Consume.

Explanation:

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

D. 15 percent

Explanation:

Cost of the machine =  $2,000

Having considered operating costs as power, taxes, and so forth, the additional revenue from the output of this machine is expected to be $2,300

Expected return = $2,300 -  $2,000

                           =  $300

Therefore, the rate of returns

= Returns/cost

=300/2000

= 0.15

In Percentage, 15%. The expected rate of return on this machine is 15%

stepan [7]

Answer:

Gross bonus=$1,148.54

FIT=252.68

OASDI=71.21

HI =16.65

MASS. TAX=58.00

Explanation:

Calculation for the withholding taxes and the gross amount of the bonus

Calculation for gross amount of the bonus

Gross amount of the bonus= [$750/ (1- 0.22 - 0.062 - 0.0145 - 0.0505] - 0.01

Gross amount of the bonus= [$750/ (0.78 - 0.062 - 0.0145 - 0.0505] - 0.01

Gross amount of the bonus= [$750/ 0.653] - 0.01

Gross amount of the bonus=1,148.545-0.01

Gross amount of the bonus=$ 1,148.54

Therefore the Gross amount of the bonus will be $ 1,148.54

Calculation for the withholding taxes

FIT =1148.54 * 22%

FIT=252.68

OASDI= 1148.54 * 6.2%

OASDI=71.21

HI=1148.54 * 1.45%

HI =16.65

MASS. TAX =1148.54 * 5.05%

MASS. TAX =58.00

NET 750.00

[$1,148.54-(252.68+71.21+16.65+58.00)]

Therefore the withholding taxes are:

FIT=252.68

OASDI=71.21

HI =16.65

MASS. TAX = =58.00
