stepan [7]

Answer:

Gross bonus=$1,148.54

FIT=252.68

OASDI=71.21

HI =16.65

MASS. TAX=58.00

Explanation:

Calculation for the withholding taxes and the gross amount of the bonus

Calculation for gross amount of the bonus

Gross amount of the bonus= [$750/ (1- 0.22 - 0.062 - 0.0145 - 0.0505] - 0.01

Gross amount of the bonus= [$750/ (0.78 - 0.062 - 0.0145 - 0.0505] - 0.01

Gross amount of the bonus= [$750/ 0.653] - 0.01

Gross amount of the bonus=1,148.545-0.01

Gross amount of the bonus=$ 1,148.54

Therefore the Gross amount of the bonus will be $ 1,148.54

Calculation for the withholding taxes

FIT =1148.54 * 22%

FIT=252.68

OASDI= 1148.54 * 6.2%

OASDI=71.21

HI=1148.54 * 1.45%

HI =16.65

MASS. TAX =1148.54 * 5.05%

MASS. TAX =58.00

NET 750.00

[$1,148.54-(252.68+71.21+16.65+58.00)]

Therefore the withholding taxes are:

FIT=252.68

OASDI=71.21

HI =16.65

MASS. TAX = =58.00

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

8.89%

Explanation:

The answer is 8.89%

Here is how we arrived at this.

Dividend = 1$ times 4

= $4 annually

Then we calculate for the nominal rate of return.

This is equal to dividend / price.

= $4/ $45

= 0.0889

To convert this to percentage

0.089 x 100

= 8.89% is the nominal annual rate of return.

finlep [7]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. Sales = $27000

Less: sales returned = -$660

Less: discount at 2% = ($27000 - $660) × 2% = -$526.8

Net sales = $25813.2

b. Net sales = $25813.2

Less: cost of goods sold = $15000 - $400 = -$14600

Gross profit = $11213.2

Operating expense:

Less: Selling and administrative expenses = -$2835

Operating income = $8378.2

Non-operating items:

Less: Interest expense = ($200

Add: Gain on land Sales = $900

Net Income= $9078.2

c. The interest expense be shown on the statement of cash flows in the operating expenses section. It'll be recorded in the operating activities.

d. The sale of the land would be under the investing activity as it's capital asset of the business. Therefore, the full sales price of the land, $9,250, would be shown as a cash inflow from investing activities on the statement of cash flows.
