Answer:

a) 39

b) 58

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Mean = $70

Standard deviation, s = $8

Number of households, n = 40

Now,

a) number of households whose monthly utility bills are between $54 and $86

z score for $54 = [ 54 - 70 ] ÷ 8                  [ z score = [ X - mean ] ÷ s]

or

z score for $54 = -2

z score for $86 = [ 86 - 70 ] ÷ 8                  [ z score = [ X - mean ] ÷ s]

or

z score for $54 = 2

Therefore,

P(between $54 and $86) = P(z = 2) - P(z = -2)

= 0.9772498 - 0.0227501

= 0.9544997

Therefore,

number of households whose monthly utility bills are between $54 and $86

= P(between $54 and $86)  × n

= 0.9544997 × 40

= 38.18 ≈ 39

b) In a sample of 20 additional house i.e n' = 40 + 20 = 60

thus,

number of households whose monthly utility bills are between $54 and $86

= P(between $54 and $86)  × n'

= 0.9544997 × 60

= 57.27 ≈ 58

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer and Explanation:

As per the given question the solution of given points is given here:-

a. Regular pay for the week = Rate of pay × Hours per week

= $12 × 40 hours

= $480.00

b. Overtime pay for the week = Rate of pay × 8 hours × 1.5 times

= $12 × 8 hours × 1.5 times

= $144.00

c. Total gross wages = (Social security withheld + Medicare tax withheld + Federal income tax withheld + Net pay)

= $38.69 + $9.05 + $54 + $522.6

= $624.00

d. Social security withheld = Total gross wages × Social security tax

= $624 × 6.2%

= $38.69

e. Medicare tax withheld = Total gross wage × Medicare tax rate

= $624 × 1.45%

= $9.05

f. Total withholding = Social security withheld + Medicare tax withheld + Federal income tax withheld

= $38.69 + $9.05 + $54

= $101.74

g. Net pay = Total gross wages - Total withholding

= $624.00 - $101.74

= $522.26

2. The Journal entry is here below:-

Wage Expense Dr, 624  

      To Social security taxes payable $38.69

      To Medicare Tax Payable $9.05

      To Federal Income Tax Payable $54
