Answer:

D. Alternative A, because it costs $250.00 less than Alternative B, in terms of present worth.

Explanation:

Net Present Worth of Alternative A:

-350 + 80 * (P/A, 6%, 6) - (350 - 160) * (P/F, 6%, 2) - (350 - 160) * (P/F, 6% , 4) + 160 * (P/F, 6% , 6)

= -350 + 80 * 5.41791 - (340 - 160) * 0.942596 - (350 - 160) * 0.888487 + 160 * 0.837484

NPW = $ -429.39

Net Present Worth of Alternative B:

-985 + 226 * (P/A, 6%, 6) - (985 - 226) * (P/F, 6%, 3) - (985 - 186) * (P/F, 6% , 4) + 186 * (P/F, 6% , 6)

= -985 + 226 * 5.41791 - (985 - 186) * 0.942596 - (985 - 186) * 0.888487 + 186 * 0.837484

NPW = $ -657.24

Assume the small-country model is applicable. If the world price of the product is $6 and an import quota of 400 units is impose
algol13

Answer:

Equilibrium price = $6

Total quantity in the market would be > 400 units ( unchanged )

Explanation:

Applying small=country model

world price of product = $6

import quota = 400 units

The Equilibrium price in Marketopia would be $6 and the total quantity available in Marketopia would > 400 units

This is because in a small country assumption model, the total imports made by any country is insignificant to the Total quantity of the products available in the market therefore it has no effect on the price of the products even if when the imports are stopped by the country

alekssr [168]

Answer:

Gross pay:

  • consultant $4,000
  • 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
