Sue will pay back $507.20 in interest expense.

Explanation:

The formula for calculating simple interest is:

SI = P x r x t ÷ 100

  • P = Principal
  • r = Rate of Interest
  • t = Term of the loan/deposit in years

In the given problem,

  • Sue Gastineau borrowed $17,000 from Regions Bank so, P = $17000
  • Sue Gastineau borrowed $17,000 from Regions Bank at a rate of 5.5%, so r = 5.5 %
  • Number of days of the loan = March 5 to September 19
  • Sue borrowed $17,000 from Regions Bank for the period of = 198 days, So t = 198 / 365

Simple Interest = (17000 * (5.5/100) * (198/365))

Simple Interest = (17000 * (0.055) * (0.5424657534246575‬))

Simple Interest = (17000 * (0.055) * (0.5424657534246575‬))

Simple Interest = $507.20

Semmy [17]

Answer:

$13,296

Explanation:

Federal unemployment tax rate = 0.8% of 96,000 = 768

State unemployement tax rate = 5.4% of 96,000 = 5,184

Social security tax rate+medicare tax rate = 6.2%+1.45% = 7.65%

7.65% of 96,000 = 7,344

So total tax expense = 768+5,184+7,344 = $13,296

So answer is $13,296

olganol [36]

Answer:

B. Herbania is technologically superior to Duckistan in producing civilian goods.

Explanation:

Duckistan Production Possibilities

                            A    B    C    D    E

Civilian Goods    20  18   14    8    0

Military Goods     0     1    2     3    4

opportunity cost  -     ¹/₁₈  ¹/₇  ³/₈   4     civilian goods

opportunity cost  20  18   7   2.7   -     military goods

Herbania Production Possibilities

                            A    B    C    D    E

Civilian Goods    40  36  26   14   0

Military Goods     0    1     2     3    4

opportunity cost  -    ¹/₃₆  ¹/₁₃  ³/₁₄  4     civilian goods

opportunity cost  40 36   13  4.7   -     military goods

Herbania has an absolute advantage in the production of civilian goods. Since it also has a lower opportunity cost of producing civilian goods, therefore, it also has a comparative advantage at producing civilian goods. Assuming that resources are equal in both countries, then we can assume that Herbania is technologically superior in the production of civilian goods.

Dukistan has a lower opportunity cost of producing military goods, therefore, it has a comparative advantage at producing military goods.

Kiddy Toy Corporation needs to acquire the use of a machine to be used in its manufacturing process. The machine needed is manuf
xenn [34]

Answer:

Option A net worth  -215,906.03

Option B net worth  -210, 159.75

It is a better deal to use the machine through lease than purchase it as the net worth is lower.

Explanation:

Purchase the machine:

-164,000 purchase cost

PV of the maintenance cost

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C -9,000.00

time 10

rate 0.08

-9000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.08)^{-10} }{0.08} = PV\\

PV -$60,390.7326

PV of the salvage value

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity  14,000.00

time  10.00

rate  0.08000

\frac{14000}{(1 + 0.08)^{10} } = PV  

PV   6,484.7088

<em>net worth: </em>

-162,000 - 60,390.73 + 6,484.70 = -215,906.03

PV of the lease: (annuity-due)

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} (1+rate)= PV\\

C 29,000.00

time 10

rate 0.08

29000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.08)^{-10} }{0.08} (1+0.08) = PV\\

PV $210,159.7494

vichka [17]

Answer:

Revenue - March = $160

Explanation:

The accrual principle in accounting states that the revenues for a period should match the expenses for that particular period and any revenue or expense should be recorded in the period to which it relates to. This means that the upfront fee received by Fit Co. is a liability and should not be recorded as a revenue until it is earned. So, by providing two sessions in the month of March, Fit Co. has earned revenue for 2 sessions out of the twelve. Thus, at the end of March, Fit Co. should record a revenue of,

Revenue - march = 960 * 2/12 = $160
