Answer:
Employers treat the taxable fringe benefits the same as cash compensation.
Explanation:
Taxable fringe benefits "are included in gross income and subject to federal withholding, social security, and Medicare taxes".
Fringe benefits are "perks and additions to normal compensation that companies give their employees, such as life insurance, tuition assistance, or employee discounts".
* The cost of the taxable fringe benefit is deductible to the employer, not the value of the benefit to the employee.
FALSE, the taxable fringe benefit is not deductible from the employer.
* Employers treat the taxable fringe benefits the same as cash compensation.
TRUE, and as we can see on the definition above the taxable fringe benefits are treated as a compensation that comapnies giv their employees.
The definition of money supply which include only items which are directly and immediately usable as medium of exchange is M1. Money supply refers to the entire stock of currency and other liquid assets that are circulating in a particular economy at a particular period of time.
M1 include cash and checking deposits which are very liquid in nature and are suitable as medium of exchange.
When an economist says that "Kevin's income elasticity of red wine is 6" he means that if Kevin's income increases by 10%, the quantity of red wine demanded by Kevin rises by 60%. So, red wine is income elastic. Since the income elasticity is greater than 1, red wine is a luxury good for Kevin.
Income elasticity measures the change in the quantity of goods demanded relative to a change in income.
If an increase in income results in a decrease in the quantity of goods demanded, then that good is an inferior or cheap good. The income elasticity of a cheap good is negative.
If the demand for a good rises with an increase in income, then that good is a normal good. The income elasticity of normal goods is greater than zero.
If an increase in income results in a greater increase in the quantity of goods demanded, then that good is a luxury good. The income elasticity of a luxury good is greater than 1.
