Answer: No. The machine shouldn't be replaced.

Explanation:

Proposal to Replace Equipment

Annual Variable Costs - Present Equipment = $4000

Less: Annual Variable Costs - New Equipment = $1500

Annual Differential Decrease in Cost = $2500

Number of Years Applicable = 5

Total Differential Decrease in Cost = $2500 × 5 = $12500

Proceeds from Sales of Present Equipment = $2000

Cost of New Equipment = $8000

Annual Net Differential Increase in Cost - New Equipment = $18000 - $2000 = $16000

The machine shouldn't be replaced as the total differential decrease in cost is less than the annual net differential increase in cost of the new equipment.

Consider the following statement.
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

True;greater than.

Explanation:

The statement that "when unemployment is present, an increase in government spending will tend to increase aggregate demand and real output by a larger amount than the initial increase in government spending." is true because an expansionary fiscal policy will cause the total increase in aggregate demand to be greater than the initial increase in aggregate demand due to the multiplier process.

The above is in accordance with the theory of John M. Keynes, he was a notable British economist.

According to the Keynesian theory, government spending or expenditures should be increased and taxes should be lowered when faced with a recession, in order to create employment and boost the buying power of consumers.

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

$13,466

Explanation:

For 2019, the wage limit for Social Security tax is $132900

Thus;

Social Security tax $132,900x 6.2% = $8,239.80

Medicare tax = $299,000 x 1.45% = $4335.50

Additional Medicare Tax ($299,000 - $200000) x 0.9% = $891

therefore,

Amount of FICA Tax = $8239.80 + $4335.50 + $891 = $13,466.30 which is approximately $13,466
