Answer:
1. Total salary expense $76,000
Total withholdings $21,014
Actual direct deposit $54,986
2. Total payroll tax expense $10,526
Explanation:
1.Computation for the total salary expense, the total withholdings from employee salaries, and the actual direct deposit of payroll for the first week of January.
Computation for the total salary expense
Total salary expense= 100 employees x 40 Hours x $ 19 per Hour
Total salary expense=$76,000
Computation for the total withholdings from employee salaries
Federal income tax $11,400
($ 76,000 x 15% )
State income tax $3,800
($ 76,000 x 5% )
FICA taxes
($ 76,000 x 7.65% ) $5,814
Total withholdings $21,014
($11,400+$3,800+$5,814)
Computation for the actual direct deposit of payroll for the first week of January
Actual direct deposit= $ 76,000 -$21,014 ) Actual direct deposit=$54,986
Therefore Total salary expense will be $76,000,
Total withholdings will be $21,014 and Actual direct deposit will be $54,986
2. Computation for the total payroll tax expense Aspen Ski Resorts will pay for the first week of January
FICA taxes $5,814
($ 76,000 x 7.65% )
Unemployment taxes $4,712
($76,000 x 6.2% )
Total payroll tax expense $10,526
($5,814+$4,712)
Therefore the total payroll tax expense Aspen Ski Resorts will pay for the first week of January in addition to the total salary expense and employee withholdings calculated in Part 1 will be $10,526
Howard Enterprises, which has three departments, recently reported the following results: A B C Sales revenue $ 12,000 $ 48,000 40,000 Less: Operating costs 11,400 59,800 50,500 Operating income (loss) $ 600 $ (11,800 ) $ (10,500 ) The company incurred variable operating costs as well as $25,000 of fixed operating costs. The $25,000 amount was allocated to A, B, and C on the basis of sales revenue and is included in the cost figures noted above. Which department(s), if any, should be closed if none of the fixed operating costs can be avoided
Answer:
Department C should be closed
Explanation:
To determine whether or not it will be profitable to drop a loss making department, we compare the savings in fixed cost to the lost contribution from the division.
For Howard Enterprises, the department with a negative contribution should be closed otherwise its operation would reduce the overall profit by the amount of the negative contribution.
So lets work out the contribution for each department by adding back the apportioned fixed cost. See table below
A B C
$ $ $ Total
Sales Revenue 12,000 48,000 40,000 100,000
Operating cost 11,400 59,800 50,500
Operating income 600 (11,800) (10,500)
*Add back apportioned fixed cost 3,000 12,000 10,000
Contribution 3,600 200 (500)
*Apportioned fixed cost
A- 12,000/100,000× 25,000 = 3,000
B- 48,000/100000 × 25,000 = 12,000
C- 40,000/100,00×25,000 = 10,000
From the above analysis, Department C generates a negative contribution. It implies that it can barely cover its direct cost and so will deplete the total profit by its negative contribution. Hence, it should be closed
Department C should be closed
d. If money demand does not depend on the interest rate, the LM curve is vertical. True False e. If money demand does not depend on income, the LM curve is horizontal. True False f. If money demand is extremely sensitive to the interest rate, the LM curve is horizontal. True False g. Suppose the government wants to change the level of output. If the LM curve is horizontal, then fiscal policy is completely ineffective, whereas monetary policy is highly effective. monetary policy
Answer:
d. True
e. False
f. True
g. True
Explanation:
Interest rate movement is based on the fiscal policy of the government. If interest rates changes there is movement in the LM curve. This is because LM curve represents money market equilibrium of real interest rates. Monetary policy is completely ineffective if the interest rates does not change since the LM curve will be horizontal.

Because education has spillover benefits, the private market will: a. underallocate resources to education. b. overallocate resources to education. c. produce too much education. d. produce the socially optimum amount of education.
Answer: produce the socially optimum amount of education
Explanation:
Spillover benefits simply refers to the free benefits which are gotten by third parties due to the actions of other people.
In this case, because education has spillover benefits, the private market will produce the socially optimum amount of education. This is the equilibrium achieved based on the spillover effects from the education.
The output level that reflects all the costs and benefits associated with a transaction i.e. it is the equilibrium that would be achieved if the market outcome reflects the effect of externalities.
Despite the heavy reliance on e-mail, in certain situations calling may be the most efficient channel of communication, whether mobile or on your office line. Be sure to understand professional expectations for telephone, cell phone, and voice mail etiquette. Identify the telephone etiquette that will make your telephone calls productive. Check all that apply. Avoid telephone tag. End the call politely. Leave complete voice mail messages. Use a three-point introduction. Be professional and courteous.
Answer:
All options are correct
Explanation:
For a telephone call to be effective, it is necessary to introduce three points, where you must name the person you are calling, identify yourself and identify the reason for the telephone contact. It is ideal to avoid phone etiquette, as a clear and objective call will retain more attention and be more efficient.
If you are unable to communicate with the necessary person, it is ideal that the messages left in the voicemail are complete for the perfect understanding and identification of the reasons and how the person can return the contact if necessary.
In a phone call being professional and courteous is essential, through the tone of voice and cordiality of the attendant the attention will increase and the objectives of the call are more likely to be achieved, so throughout the call until its close, education must be the basis, because in addition to being necessary, the professional is a representative of the company that is calling, so ethics, education and cordiality are essential in any professional connection.
A company has bonds on the market with 13 years to maturity, a YTM of 7.6 percent, and a current price of $1,000. The bonds make semiannual payments and have a face value of $1,000. What is the dollar value of each coupon

A company that makes modular bevel gear drives with a tight swing ratio for optimizing fork-lift vehicles was told that the interest rate on a loan would be an effective 3.5% per quarter, compounded monthly. The owner, confused by the terminology, asked you to help. What is the APY
Answer:
The APY is 14.9%
Explanation:
To find the annual percentage yield we need to compute the effective annual rate of interest.
The Effective annual rate of return(EAR) is the equivalent rate to be paid where compounding is done frequently at period or interval less than a year.
Compounding implies the regular interval when interest is always computed; in this scenario, it is monthly.
The EAR can be worked out as follows
EAR = ( (1+r)^m - 1 ) × 100
r- interest rate per period
m- number of periods in a year
EAR - Effective annual rate
r = 3.5%/3 = 1.167 % per month
m= number of months in a year = 12
EAR =( 1.01167^12-1)× 100 = 14.9%
The APY is 14.9%
This implies the quoted interest rate of 3.5% per quarter is the same as paying 14.9% per year

At the beginning of 2019, the Healthy Life Food Company purchased equipment for $42 million to be used in the manufacture of a new line of gourmet frozen foods. The equipment was estimated to have a 10-year service life and no residual value. The straight-line depreciation method was used to measure depreciation for 2019 and 2020. Late in 2021, it became apparent that sales of the new frozen food line were significantly below expectations. The company decided to continue production for two more years (2022 and 2023) and then discontinue the line. At that time, the equipment will be sold for minimal scrap values. The controller, Heather Meyer, was asked by Harvey Dent, the company's chief executive officer (CEO), to determine the appropriate treatment of the change in service life of the equipment. Heather determined that there has been an impairment of value requiring an immediate write-down of the equipment of $12,900,000. The remaining book value would then be depreciated over the equipment's revised service life. The CEO does not like Heather's conclusion because of the effect it would have on 2016 income. "Looks like a simple revision in service life from 10 years to 5 years to me," Dent concluded. "Let's go with it that way, Heather."
Required:
What is the difference in before-tax income between the CEO's and Heather's treatment of the situation? Discuss Heather Meyer's ethical dilemma.

The Eggers Corporation filed an amended Form 1120, claiming an additional $400,000 deduction for payments to a contractor for a prior tax year. The amended return was based on the entity's interpretation of a Regulation that defined deductible advance payment expenditures. The nature of Eggers's activity with the contractor did not exactly fit the language of the Regulation. Nevertheless, because so much tax was at stake, Eggers's tax department decided to claim the deduction. Eggers’s tax department estimated that there was only a 15% chance that Eggers’s interpretation would stand up to a Tax Court review.
a. What is the amount of tax penalty that Eggers is risking by taking this position?
b. What would be the result if there was a 45% chance that Eggers’s interpretation of the Regulation was correct?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. What is the amount of tax penalty that Eggers is risking by taking this position?
The amount of tax penalty that Eggers is risking by taking this position will be:
= $400,000 × 20%
= $400,000 × 20/100
= $400,000 × 0.2
= $80,000
The 20% used is the penalty charged when a claim is more than the final amount that's being allowed by the court or the IRS.
b.What would be the result if there was a 45% chance that Eggers’ interpretation of the Regulation was correct?
The result in this case if there was a 45% chance that Eggers’ interpretation of the Regulation was correct will be that Eggers will have zero tax penalty given. This is because since a reasonable cause was shown by the corporation, the penalty will be waived.

Net operating income=$21,000-$15,000
Net operating income=$6,000 increase
Therefore the net operating income will increase by $6,000
