Answer: The social security tax will be withheld through September.

Explanation:

Social Security maximum base amount = $128,400

social security tax rate = 6.2% = 0.062

Medicare tax = 1.45% = 0.0145

Medicare Tax = no maximum

Base salary = $180,000

Social security tax amount = 0.062 × $128,400 = $7,960.80

Medicare Tax = 0.0145 × $180,000 = $2,610

Social security tax to be withheld = $7,960.80

Social security maximum base amount = $128,400

Monthly salary = $15,000

$128,400 ÷ $15,000 = 8.56

($15,000 × 8) + ($15000×0.56) = $120,000 + $8400

Therefore, the social security tax will be withheld through the ninth month which is between January to September

You need to have $30,250 in 17 in years. You can earn an annual interest rate of 4 percent for the first 5 years, 4.6 percent fo
mylen [45]

Answer:

The amount that has to be deposited today is $6205.63

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The annual interest rate for the first 5 years = 4 percent

The annual interest rate for the next 4 years = 4.6 percent

The annual interest rate for the final 8 years = 5.3 percent

Let the amount deposited be X, we have;

X × (1 + 0.04)⁵ + X × (1 + 0.04)⁵×(1.046)⁴ + X × (1 + 0.04)⁵×(1.046)⁴ ×(1.053)⁸ = $30,250

X ((1.04)^5 + (1 + 0.04)^5×(1.046)^4 + (1 + 0.04)^5×(1.046)^4 ×(1.053)^8) = $30,250

X × 4.875 = $30,250

X = $30,250/$4.875 = $6205.63

The amount that has to be deposited today = $6205.63.
