1. What environmental, social, and political risks might arise in supply chain operations in Haiti?

An enviromental risk is another earthquake. Haiti is a very seismic country, and infraestructure quality is low: it can easily crumble down in the even of a strong earthquake (unlike other highly seismic countries with high quality infraestructure, for example: Japan).

A social risk is the possiblity of workers' revolts. The workers may feel exploited, or not at ease within the company, and decided to revolt. Haiti is a violent country, and the revolt could easily become a full-scale conflict that would result in the closing of most, of all of the firms associated with the supply chain.

A political risk is the possibility of property seizure by the government. Haiti does not rank high in government stability, judicial independence, or property rights protections. A new government could become authoritarian, and decide to seize the firms associated with the supply chain.

2. What are the foreseeable costs and benefits from supply chain operations in Haiti?

Low labor costs: the average per capita income in Haiti is $450, and the poverty rate is over 50%, while the underemployment rate is over 60%. This means that people are willing to work, and will work for very low wages, meaning lower costs accross the supply chain.

Untapped market: Even if Haiti is a very poor country, for the same reason it has a great potential to grow, since poor, developing countries tend to grow faster than advanced nations. If the economy of Haitin turns upwards, the firms along the supply chain will likely benefit from being the first in the new market.

3. How could you ensure that your company’s involvement would play a beneficial role in Haiti’s economic recovery?

Paying fair wages, following the country's laws, avoiding illegal practices such as bribing, and putting aside some of the company's income for social contributions such as donations to schools and hospitals (corporate social responsability).

Budgeted Sales:

January $ 237,400

February 251,400

Nieto’s sales are 30% cash and 70% credit. Credit sales are collected 10% in the month of sale, 50% in the month following sale, and 36% in the second month following sale; 4% are uncollectible.

Credit Sales March= (336,600*0.7*0.1)= 23,562

From February= (251,400*0.7*0.5)= 87,990

During 2019, Rachael Parkins, president of Mathieson Company, was paid a semimonthly salary of $8,000. Compute the amount of FIC

Elena L [17]

Answer:

9th payment:

OASDI: 496 dollars

HI: 116 dollars

17th payment:

OASDI: 303.80 dollars

HI: 116.00 dollars

24th payment

HI: 116.00 dollars

Additional 0.9%: 178 dollars

Explanation:

FICA taxes:

OASDI 132,900 celling

HI: 1.45% celling 200,000 for single

up to this point the tax increase by 0.90%

8,000 x 9th payment: 72,000 below celling

OASDI: 8,000 x 6.20% = 496

HI: 8,000 x 1.45% = 116

8,000 x 17th payment: 136,000 Is above celling for OASDI

we just pay for the difference

previous earnings: 136,000 - 8,000 = 128,000

celling: 132,900

132,900 - 128,000 = 4,900

OASDI: 4,900 x 6.20% = 303,8

HI: 8,000 x 1.45% = 116

8,000 x 24th payment: 192,000 above celling for OASDI

OASDI: zero

HI: 8,000 x 1.45% = 116

Year end bonus: 100,000 accumulated 292,000 above HI celling

the diffrence will pay additional 0.9%

292,000 - 250,000 = 42,000

additional 0.9% = 42,000 x 0.9% = 378

year-end bonus: Bonuses are taxable compensation subject to income tax withholding and FICA. They’re treated as supplemental wages.
