Using the information above the journal entry to record the payroll tax expense for jefferson tutoring would include:____.
A. a credit to FUTA payable for 24.
B. a debit to payroll tax expense in the amount of 390.
C. a credit to SUTA payable for 60.
D. all of the above.
Answer: D. all of the above.
Explanation:
FUTA:
Cumulative earnings were $4,000. FUTA is one the first $7,000 which means that only $3,000 is left to be taxed on account of the cumulative earnings prior to this payroll having been taxed:
= 0.8% * 3,000
= $24
This will be credited to FUTA Payable to recognize that Jefferson owes this liability.
SUTA:
Same goes for SUTA:
= 2% * 3,000
= $60
This will be credited to SUTA Payable to recognize that Jefferson owes this liability.
Payroll tax expense:
= FICA taxes + Medicare + FUTA + SUTA
= ((6.2% + 1.45%) * 4,000) + 24 + 60
= $390
This will be debited to Payroll Tax expense because expenses are debited when they increase.

Computech Corporation is expanding rapidly and currently needs to retain all of its earnings; hence, it does not pay dividends. However, investors expect Computech to begin paying dividends, beginning with a dividend of $0.50 coming 3 years from today. The dividend should grow rapidly - at a rate of 49% per year - during Years 4 and 5; but after Year 5, growth should be a constant 9% per year. If the required return on Computech is 16%, what is the value of the stock today? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round your intermediate calculations.
Answer: $8.81
Explanation:
To solve this, add the present values of the dividends from years 3, 4 and 5 and then add the present value of the terminal value of the stock at year 5.
Year 3 dividend = $0.50
Year 4 dividend = 0.50 * (1 + 49%) = $0.745
Year 5 dividend = 0.745 * 1.49 = $1.11005
= Dividend in year 3 / (1 + required rate of return)³ + Dividend in year 4 / (1 + required rate of return)⁴ + Dividend in year 5 / (1 + required rate of return)⁵ + (Dividend in year 5 * (1 + growth rate) / ( required rate of return - growth rate ) ) / (1 + required rate of return)⁵
= 0.5 / 1.16³ + 0.745/1.16⁴ + 1.11005/1.16⁵ + ( 1.11005 / (16% - 9%)) / 1.16⁵
= $8.81
If the required return on Compu tech is 16%, the value of stock today is $8.81. To answer this, sum the present values of the dividends from years 3, 4, and 5, followed by the present value of the stock's terminal value in year 5.
The current value of a future sum of money or stream of cash flows at a predetermined rate of return is known as its present value (PV). The present value of future cash flows is reduced by the discount rate, and the higher the discount rate, the lower the present value of future cash flows.
Given,
Year 3 dividend = $0.50
Year 4 dividend = 0.50 * (1 + 49%) = $0.745
Year 5 dividend = 0.745 * 1.49 = $1.11005
Dividend in year 3 / (1 + required rate of return)³ + Dividend in year 4 / (1 + required rate of return)⁴ + Dividend in year 5 / (1 + required rate of return)⁵ + (Dividend in year 5 * (1 + growth rate) / ( required rate of return - growth rate ) ) / (1 + required rate of return)⁵
= 0.5 / 1.16³ + 0.745/1.16⁴ + 1.11005/1.16⁵ + ( 1.11005 / (16% - 9%)) / 1.16⁵
= $8.81

Why does the Aggregate Demand Curve slope downwards?
a. GDP Effect
b. Exchange-RMC Effect
c. Turn-Rate Effect
d. Substitution Effect
e. Interest-Rate Effect
f. Marginal Effect
g. Wealth Effect
Answer:
b. Exchange - RMC Effect c. Interest-Rate effect d. Wealth effectExplanation:
When the exchange rate of the country falls, goods denominated in that currency will become cheaper and this would have the effect of making exports cheaper. Exports therefore rise with lower price levels.
A lower interest rate will mean that more companies will take loans to invest. Investment is a component of Aggregate demand so when investment increases, so does AD.
When prices are lower in the economy, the Aggregate Demand will increase because people will be able to afford more goods and services. This is the wealth effect.
Given the following, the standard cost of this item is $_____per unit.
Direct materials per unit: 2 pounds
Direct material cost: $2.50 per pound
Direct labor per unit: .75 hours
Direct labor rate: $16.00 per hour
Variable overhead rate: $8.00 per hour
Answer:
$23 per unit
Explanation:
Standard cost = Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable overhead
Standard cost = (2 pounds*$2.50 per pound) + (0.75 hours*$16.00 per hour) + (0.75 hours*$8.00 per hour)
Standard cost = $5 + $12 + $6
Standard cost = $23
So, the standard cost of this item is $23 per unit.
The multiplier effect of changes in government transfers is: greater than the multiplier effect of a change in government spending. impossible to determine. less than the multiplier effect of a change in government spending. zero because transfer payments do not affect aggregate demand.
Answer: less than the multiplier effect of a change in government spending.
Explanation:
The multiplier effect of government transfers refers to the measure by which the aggregate demand will increase by as a result of government transfers increasing.
This multiplier is less than the multiplier effect of a change in government spending. This is because government spending affects more people in the economy as it targets both companies and consumers. Government transfers on the other hand, target only welfare and unemployment payments amongst others so it cannot have the same effect as government spending.

Suppose that Raphael, an economist from an AM talk radio program, and Susan, an economist from a school of industrial relations, are arguing Over saving incentives. The following dialogue Shows an excerpt from their debate:
Susan: I think it's safe to say that, in general, the savings rate of households in today's economy is much lower than it really needs to be to sustain an improvement in living standards.
Raphael: I think a switch from the income tax to a consumption tax would bring growth in living standards.
Susan: You really think households would change their saving behavior enough in response to this to make a difference? Because I don't.
The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to_____________ . Despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree?
a. Rent ceilings reduce the quantity and quality of available housing.
b. Immigrants receive more in government benefits than they contribute in taxes.
c. Having a single income tax rate would improve economic performance.
Answer:
a. Difference in values
b. a. Rent ceilings reduce the quantity and quality of available housing.
Explanation:
The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to difference in values.
Economists are known to disagree a lot with each other and this is down to them having different values and perspectives with regards to several economic decisions. This is why there are different economic theories subscribed to by economists such as Keynesian and New Classical theories.
Despite these disagreements however, there are certain things they would always agree on and one of those is that rent ceilings reduce the quantity and quality of available housing.
The logic behind this is that imposing a rent ceiling would dissuade real estate investors from putting in more money to develop properties because the rent ceiling would limit the returns that they can get.
Supply of real estate would also fall because less investors would go into the market because they would fear being unable to recoup adequate returns on account of the rent ceiling.

You are to receive a cash flow of $1,500 two years from now. Once received, you will invest the money and earn a 10.5% return. What is the value of the investment in year 5?
Answer:
$2,471.17
Explanation:
The value of the investment in 5 years time from the day of investment is known as the Future Value.
The Future Value is calculated by compounding the Principle Amount (amount invested) using the effective interest rate.
We can determine the Future Value using a Financial Calculator as follows :
PV = - $1,500
PMT = $0
P/YR = 1
N = 5
I = 10.5%
FV = ??
The Future Value (FV) is $2,471.17
Thus,
the value of the investment in year 5 is $2,471.17

A company purchased a computer system on January 2, 2010 for $1,600,000. The company used the straight-line depreciation method with an estimated useful life of 6 years and a residual value of $130,000. The company prepares financial statements at December 31. Assume the company decides to sell the computer system on July 1, 2012 for $1,000,000. Which of the following is not true concerning the journal entry(ies) required on July 1 is not correct?
a. The Equipment asset account must be credited for $1,600,000 to record the sale.
b. The loss on the sale is $12,500.
c. Accumulated Depreciation is debited for $612,500 in the entry to record the sale.
d. The depreciation expense must be recorded for 6 months, January 1 to July 1.
Answer: b. The loss on the sale is $12,500.
Explanation:
The value of the equipment on the date it was sold is:
= Cost price - Accumulated depreciation
Accumulated depreciation = Depreciation * Number of years of service
Depreciation = (1,600,000 - 130,000) / 6 years useful life
= $245,000
Number of years of service is 2.5 years because the asset was sold on July 1, 2012.
Accumulated depreciation = 245,000 * 2.5
= $612,500
Value at date of sale:
= 1,600,000 - 612,500
= $987,500
Gain (loss) on sale = Selling price - Value at date of sale
= 1,000,000 - 987,500
= $12,500
The $12,500 is a gain not a loss.

Record the effect of the given transactions in a horizontal statements model.
Answer:
Note: See attached excel file for the record of the effect of the given transactions in a horizontal statements model.
In the attached excel file, we have:
Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $152,155
Explanation:
In the attached excel file, we have:
Sales tax payable on sales for November Year 1 = $65,500 * 9% = $5,895
Sales tax payable on sales for December Year 1 = $79,500 * 9% = $7,155
Assets = $152,155
Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $7,155 + $145,000 = $152,155
Therefore, the accounting equation is proved as follows:
Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $152,155

The sequence of events that results in a new equilibrium interest rate, after the Fed makes the change you selected, may be described as follows:
Because there is ______________ money in the financial system, the quantity of interest-bearing financial assets such as bonds demanded _____________, which means that bond issuers __________________ sell the bonds. This process continues until the new equilibrium interest rate is achieved.
Answer:
Following are the responses to the given question:
Explanation:
Due to the increased amount of currency in the banking sector, the amount of interest-bearing economic stocks and bonds has reduced, because when interest rates fall and bond demand rises or vice versa, the interplay between bond yields and bond prices grows In this case, bond demand will decline, implying, therefore, corporate bonds must increase interest for issue debt still. It is because, whereas if bond rates increase, the price of the bond will drop, that will lead to an increase in the consumption for bonds.
