ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

option (A) $212.97

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Gross earnings for the pay period ending 10/15/16 = $5,835

Total gross earnings as of 9/30/16 = $104,400

Social Security tax rate = 6.2%

Now,

Total earnings

= Gross earnings for the pay period ending 10/15/16 + Total gross earnings as of 9/30/16

= $5,835 + $104,400

= $110,235

since,The Social Security taxes are on a maximum earnings of $106,800 per year

therefore,

Sabrina's Social Security withheld from her 10/15/16 paycheck will be

= ( Total earnings - $106,800 ) × Social Security tax rate

= ( $110,235 - $106,800 ) × 0.062

= $3,435 × 0.062

= $212.97

Hence,

The answer is option (A) $212.97

On January 1, 20Y8, Crabb & Co. sold land to ASP, Inc. and accepted a two-year, $500,000 face value note as payment. 6% inte

jeka94

Answer:

1. Discount

2. $449,298.47

3. $369,298.47 gain

4. land reduces by $80,000, investment increases by $449,298.47, reserves increases by $369,298.47

Explanation:

Question 1

Using the formula below

$Price=\frac{I_{1}}{1+r} +\frac{I_{2}+F}{(1+r)^{2}}$

where

I = interest rate, which is 6% of 500,000 = 30,000

F = Face value, 500,000

r = borrowing cost = 12%

Therefore, the price of the note at the time it was used for payment was

$Price=\frac{30,000}{1.12} +\frac{30,000+500,000}{(1.12)^{2}}$

= $449,298.47.

As the price is lower than the face value of the note, the note was issued at a discount.

Question 2

The fair market value of the note is $449,298.47, the compute price in question 1.

Question 3

The gain/loss on the sale of the land

= sale price - purchase price

= $449,298.47 - 80,000

= $369,298.47.

Question 4

The transaction would affect Crabb & Co's balance sheet as follows.

Asset side:

land reduces by $80,000

investment increases by $449,298.47

Equity & liabilities side:

reserves increases by $369,298.47
