Jonathan is a blind widower whose home is valued at $110,000. He is homesteaded and under 65. His School taxes are 10.23 mils, his county taxes 6.789 mils, and his city taxes are 8.78 mils. What are his annual taxes?
Answer:
Jonathan's taxes depend on which state he lives in. Generally, widowers (male spouses who lost their wife while still married) are eligible for a homestead exemption, but the amount varies depending on the state.
For example, if Jonathan lives in Florida, the homestead exemption is up to the first $50,000, but in Texas it only includes the first $25,000.
Assuming that Jonathan lives in Florida, he can use his homestead exemption to reduce both his city and county taxes by $50,000:
city taxes = [($110,000 - $50,000) / $1,000] x 8.78 = $526.80county taxes = [($110,000 - $50,000) / $1,000] x 6.789 = $407.34the homestead exemption is reduced by half for school taxes:
school taxes = [($110,000 - $25,000) / $1,000] x 10.23 = $869.55total real estate taxes = $1,803.69

The concentration ratio provides a measure of the extent to which an industry Question 63 options: produces a useful product. is dominated by a small number of firms. is earning economic profits. is earning accounting profits.
Answer:
"The concentration ratio provides a measure of the extent to which an industry is dominated by a small number of firms.
Explanation:
Let us assume that there are 20 firms in the paper milling industry with a total sales of $40 billion per annum. From these 20 firms, 4 firms have annual sales totalling $25 billion. With these assumptions made, we can calculate the concentration ratio as the "Annual sales of the 4 firms divided by the Industry's annual sales, and then multiplied by 100." Our calculation produces a concentration ratio of 62.5%. This concentration ratio shows the dominance of these four firms in the paper milling industry. The remaining 16 firms control 37.5% (100% - 62.5%) of the annual sales in the industry. This examples explains what a concentration ratio is and how the calculation can be carried out.
Q 6.19: Switzer, Inc. has 8 computers which have been part of the inventory for over two years. Each computer cost $600 and originally retailed for $900. At the statement date, each computer has a current replacement cost of $400. What value should Switzer, Inc., have for the computers at the end of the year
Answer:
The value of computer at the end of year is $3200
Explanation:
Total number of computers = 8
The original cost of computers = $600 per computer.
Original retailed = $900
The replacement cost = $400
Since the replacement cost of the market value is $ 400. Therefore, the value of all computers can be calculated by multiplying the $400 with the number of units.
The value of computer at the end of the year = $400 × 8 = $3200
A multiple-channel queuing system with a Poisson arrival rate and exponential service time has an average arrival rate of four customers per hour and an average service time of 18 minutes per customer. The minimum number of servers required to avoid an overloaded system is
Answer:
1.2
Explanation:
The computation of the minimum number of servers required to avoid an overloaded system is shown below:-
Average service time = Average service time ÷ number of minutes in a hour
18 min = 18 ÷ 60 per hr
= 0.3 hr per customer
Now for four customers, it would be
min servers = 4 × 0.3
= 1.2
So, the correct answer is min servers = 2 as servers cant be in fractions
Therefore we have applied the above formula.

Employers are required to withhold a 6.2% Social Security tax up to a maximum base amount and a 1.45% Medicare tax with no maximum. Assuming the FICA base amount is $128,400.Compute how much will be withheld during the year for Coach Samson’s Social Security and Medicare.
What additional amount will the employer need to contribute towards FICA taxes?
Answer:
$7960.80; $9948.20 ; $17,409
Explanation:
Given the following :
Coach base salary = $651,600 ($54,300/month)
Social security tax = 6.2% upto maximum base amount
Medicare tax = 1.45% with no maximum
FICA base amount = $128,400
Coach Samson Social security and Medicare tax:
Social Security tax amount = 6.2% of $128,400
= 0.062 * $128,400 = $7,960.80
Medicare tax amount :
1.45% of $651,600
(1.45 / 100) * $651,600
0.0145 * $651,600
= $9948.20
Additional amount towards FICA taxes:
$7,960.80 + $9,948.20 = $17,409

Elinor is asked to invest $5100 in a friend's business with the promise that the friend will repay $5610 in one year. Eleanor finds her best alternative to this investment, with similar risk, is one that will pay her $5508 in one year. U.S. securities of similar term offer a rate of return of 7%. What is the opportunity cost of capital in this case
Answer:
the opportunity cost of capital in this case is 8%
Explanation:
From the information given :
Elinor is asked to invest $5100 in a friend's business with the promise that the friend will repay $5610 in one year.
Eleanor finds her best alternative to this investment, with similar risk, is one that will pay her $5508 in one year.
U.S. securities of similar term offer a rate of return of 7%.
The opportunity cost of capital can be determined by using the expression:
[tex]A = P ( \dfrac{1+r}{100})^n[/tex]
where;
A = amount = $5508
P = Principal = $5100
r = opportunity cost of capital = ???
n = number of years = 1 year
[tex]5508= 5100 ( {1+ \dfrac{r}{100})^1[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{5508}{5100}= ( {1+ \dfrac{r}{100})^1[/tex]
[tex]1.08 = ( {1+ \dfrac{r}{100})[/tex]
[tex]1.08 = \dfrac{100 + r}{100}[/tex]
1.08 × 100 = 100 + r
108 = 100 + r
r = 108 - 100
r = 8%
Therefore; the opportunity cost of capital in this case is 8%

Loan X has a principal of $10,000x and a yearly simple interest rate of 4%. Loan Y has a principal of $10,000y and a yearly simple interest rate of 8%. Loans X and Y will be consolidated to form Loan Z with a principal of $(10,000x + 10,000y) and a yearly simple interest rate of r%, where r = (4x+8y)/(x+y). In the table, select a value for x and a value for y corresponding to a yearly simple interest rate of 5% for the consolidated loan. Make only two selections, one in each column.
..........X..........Y..........Value
(A)..............................21
(B)..............................32
(C)..............................51
(D)..............................64
(E)..............................81
(F)..............................96
Answer:
X = 96 and Y = 32
Explanation:
Data provided in the question
X amount = 4%
Y amount = 8%
Now based on this the equation is
r = (4x + 8y) ÷ (x+y)
Now put 5% at the rate place
The x and y is
5 = (4x + 8y) ÷ (x + y)
5x + 5y = 4x + 8y
x = 3y
Now looking the options as we can see that if X = 96 so Y would be 32
Therefore X = 96 and Y = 32
A municipal bond dealer buys 100M of 30 year non-callable 9% General Obligation bonds at par less 1 point. After holding the bonds in inventory for a week, the dealer reoffers the bonds on an 8.90 basis. The dealer's approximate profit or loss per bond on this transaction is:
Answer:
gain = $26.24 per bond
Explanation:
trading bonds 100M, means $100,000 in bonds
the trader purchased the bonds at a discount, at 100 - 1.5 = 98.5%
the coupon rate is 9%, if the bonds are sold at 8.9%, then they will be sold at a premium.
to try to determine an approximate selling price = 9%/8.9% = 1.01123
profit per bond = sales price - purchase price = ($1,000 x 1.01123) - ($1,000 x 0.985) = $1,011.24 - $985 = $26.24 per bond
total profit = $26.24 x 100 = $2,624
A property buyer should object to any defects in the title to the property A) within one year of the transfer of title. B) before acceptance of the deed. C) before recording the deed from the seller. D) no later than 90 days of the recording of the deed from the seller.
The correct answer is B) Before acceptance of the deed.
Explanation:
The deed is a legal document that ratifies the ownership of a property; in this way, the document is used in the process of buying a property to show the buyer is the new owner. Besides this, once the deed is accepted and signed the property does not belong to the original owner, and therefore, she/he has not any responsibility related to the title. This means after the deed the buyer cannot object any defects in the title. Thus, any objections or new conditions in the process of buying the property should occur before acceptance of the deed.
A property buyer should object to any defects in the title of the property before the acceptance of deed leading to a contract. So, the correct option that matches with the above statement is B.
After the deed for such property has been accepted by both the parties the contract becomes valid from such date of acceptance. If any defect is to be objected, it would not bring into the seller's liability.
A contract becomes valid after it is accepted by both the parties to a contract and if there is any objection made after such acceptance it will not be void ab initio to the conditions of contract.The liability of the title of the property becomes transferrable in the hands of the buyer of the goods as soon as the conditions of the deed are fulfilled.The acceptance of the deed will be assumed by the seller to the defects been accepted by the buyer as it is the duty of the buyer to check all the factors of the property.Hence, the correct statement is B that the defects to the title of the property shall be able to be objected by the buyer only before the acceptance of such property.

Farmers in developing countries claim that the U.S. government, through farm subsidies, is responsible for the artificially low global price of wheat. Because the U.S. government buys whatever wheat American farmers are unable to sell on the open market, American farmers have no incentive to modulate the size of their crops according to the needs of the global market. As a result, American farmers routinely produce more wheat than the global market can absorb and the global price of wheat is kept low. Without these subsidies, the farmers in developing economies claim, American farmers would produce only the amount of wheat that they could sell on the open market and the global price of wheat would rise.
Which of the following, if true, most weakens the claims of the farmers in developing countries regarding the price of wheat?
(A) Wheat that is not processed for consumption is often used for certain industrial applications.
(B) Non-governmental buyers of wheat and wheat products are able to predict how much wheat they will need several years in advance.
(C) The U.S. government offers similar subsidies to soybean farmers, though the global price of soybeans is significantly higher than that of wheat.
(D) Other countries, such as Canada and Russia, are likely to produce more wheat if the United States were to reduce its output.
(E) The price of sorghum, a crop for which the U.S. government offers no subsidies, is lower than that of wheat.
Answer:
Correct Answer:
(D) Other countries, such as Canada and Russia, are likely to produce more wheat if the United States were to reduce its output.
Explanation:
The farmers narrative on the reason on why the price of wheat on the global market is low is justified due to their reason. Unfortunately, that logic would greatly be weaken if the farmers in United States reduces their output while farmers in other countries such as Canada and Russia increases their own output due to incentives from their governments.
This action would still lead to the global price of wheat continually being low.
