A major concern with Social Security is the possibility that funds will not be available when today’s tax-payers retire to becom

e beneficiaries. According to the Social Security Trustee’s report, an increase of 1.89% in the Social Security payroll tax would keep the account full for the next 75 years. To achieve similar results, benefits would have to be decreased from the current 42% of the ending salary to 29% of the salary. Cindy is relatively new to the workforce. She has 32 years until she can retire. Her current annual salary is $45,000. 1a) Calculate how much Cindy will have to pay in Social Security tax (6.2%) based on this salary. 1b) Calculate how much Cindy will have to pay in Social Security tax if the tax was increased by 1.89%. 2a) Calculate Cindy’s annual Social Security benefit (about 42%) if her salary remains unchanged until she retires (annual average is $45,000). 2b) Calculate Cindy’s annual Social Security benefit if her salary remains unchanged but benefits (based on her annual salary of $45,000) were cut from 42% to 29%. 3) If Cindy were given a choice between the increase in Social Security tax now or the decrease in Social Security benefits when she retires, which would you recommend she choose? Explain your answer thoroughly.

Answer:

1a) 45,000 * 6.2% = 2,790

1b) 45,000 * (6.2% + 1.89%) = 45,000 * 8.09% = 3,640.50

2a) 45,000 * 42% = 18,900

2b) 45,000 * 29% = 13,050

3) I think it would be better to have an increase in Social Security tax now and receive 18,900 as annual pension rather than the decrease in Social Security benefits when she retires.

An investor buys an 8% municipal bond in the secondary market on a 10% basis. The investor does not accrete the bond discount an
adell [148]

Answer: C

Explanation:

This is because although the coupon rate is devoid of federal income tax any market discount is taxed as interest income earned. So so if there is a way that they can be taxed without jeopardizing their basic Federal income tax-free status, why not? The discount can be accreted annually and tax paid, or the tax can be paid at maturity or sale date.

A company with a high ratio of fixed costs:
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is: more likely to experience a loss when sales are down than a company with mostly variable costs.

Explanation:

The fixed cost ratio is a simple ratio that divides fixed costs by net sales.

The profit formula is:

Profit = Sales- Total cost =(Price * Q)-(FC + VC*Q)

Where  

FC=Fixed cost

VC= variable cos t

Q=produce quantity

If sales go down,  we have to pay this fixed cost even if we have no sales.  So if this Fixed cost are high ,  is most likely we are going to experience loss

I am considering buying a new sports car like a Ford Mustang. Another sports car that would not likely compete head-to-head like
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Brand Competition

Explanation:

Brand Competition arises when two or more different companies offer a similar product, under a different brand. The products are similar, but not fully substitutes: they can be distinguished in some way: quality, features, price, and so on.

In this case, what makes the Ford Mustang and the Audi R8 is the price. The Ford brand is significantly cheaper than the Audi brand, which might give Ford the upper hand in market share. However, this is not always the case because the Audi car could have the upper hand when it comes to quality, and obtain more marke share because of that.
