Answer:
C. 42 years
Explanation:
Rule 72 is used in finance and economics to estimate the number of years it will take for a given capital value to be doubled, given a given annual interest rate. In the case of GDP, the interest rate is replaced by the growth rate of the economy.
The formula for this rule consists of dividing 72 by the growth rate of the economy. The result will be the number of years for the capital value to double.
72 / growth rate = years to double
If the GDP growth rate is 1.7%, we have:
72 / 1.7 = 42.3 years

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
