If Chuck earns an additional $40,000 of taxable income, what is his marginal tax rate on this income?b. What is his marginal rate if, instead, he had $40,000 of additional deductions?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

a. 24%

b. 12%

Explanation:

Marginal tax rate is an incremental tax rate that is paid out of the taxable income of a tax payer. It represents the rate at which the last unit of dollar of the taxable income is taxed. The marginal rate for each income bracket is supplied by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

                               Chuck Marginal Tax Rate

a) The marginal tax rate for Chuck if he earns additional $40,000 taxable income will be:

= $75,000 + $40,000

= $115,000

Marginal tax rate for $115,000 is 24% according IRS tax rate schedule.

b) If instead, it is an additional deduction of $40,0000, the marginal tax rate will be:

= $75,000 - $40,000

= $35,000

The marginal tax rate for taxable income of $35,000 is 12% according US tax rate schedule.

Note: the interest is categorized as interest from municipal bond, so it is tax free.

It is also assumed that Chuck is single. Hence, tax rate under single filer applies to him.

Answer 2
Answer:

Final answer:

Based on IRS tiers, if Chuck earns an extra $40,000 his marginal tax rate would be 24%. If he instead had a $40,000 tax deduction, his rate would drop to 12%. These rates depend on the specific tax year.

Explanation:

The marginal tax rate for Chuck's income bracket of $75,000 is 22% based on IRS tax rates. However, if Chuck earns an additional $40,000, it would bump his total taxable income to $115,000, placing him in the 24% tax bracket. Therefore, his marginal tax rate for the additional $40,000 is 24%.

If instead Chuck had $40,000 of additional deductions, this would reduce his taxable income to $35,000. According to the IRS tax rates, this puts him at the 12% tax bracket. Therefore, his marginal tax rate with the additional deductions is 12%.

Please note that these rates are specific to the current tax year and subject to change.

Which of the following probably occurred as the U.S. economy experienced increasing real GDP in 1954? Check all that apply.Car sales declined.

Total real income increased.

The unemployment rate declined.

Corporate profits increased.

Answers

Answer:

The answer are: total real income increased, the unemployment rate declined; Corporate profits increased.

Explanation:

As real GDP increases, people/entities in the economy enjoy actual increase in their income ( income adjusted for inflation effect), thus they will tend to spend more, making "car sales declined" a wrong answer whil "total real income increased" the right one.

Higher spending also means demand for goods and services are higher helping to boost the corporate's profit up. Once the profit is higher, corporate will have plan to expand their business leading to a higher demand in labor which in turn reduce the unemployment rate.

Kaplan, Inc. produces flash drives for computers, which it sells for $27 each. The variable cost to make each flash drive is $13. During April, 700 drives were sold. Fixed costs for April were $2 per unit for a total of $1,400 for the month. How much is the monthly break-even level of sales in dollars for Kaplan?

Answers

Answer:

Contribution per unit

= Selling price - Variable cost per unit

 = $27 -$13

= $14

Contribution margin ratio

= Contribution per unit

  selling price

= $14

  $27

=  0.518518518

Break-even point in dollars

= $1,400

  0.518518518

= $2,700

               

Explanation:

Break-even point in dollars  equals fixed cost divided by contribution margin ratio. Contribution margin ratio is equal to contribution per unit divided by selling price. Contribution per unit is selling price minus variable cost per unit.

Round to the nearest cent.

Answers

Answer:

Total ending inventory $  2,162.5‬ LIFO perpetual method

Explanation:

At the time of each sale we determinate the last untis available for sale:

Beginning 175

Purchase 200

Slaes of 300

We use the entire 200 units purchase and 100 of the beginning inventory leaving

Beginning inventory of 75

Now, we continue:

Beginning inventory 75

5/15 purchase 200

Sales of 250 units

we use the entire 200 untis form the purchase and 50 units from beginning inventory

leaving

Beginning inventory 25 at 11.50 = 287.5

5/25 purcahse 150 units at 12.50 = 1875

Suppose the price level reflects the number of dollars needed to buy a basket of goods containing one can of soda, one bag of chips, and one comic book. In year one, the basket costs $9.00. In year two, the price of the same basket is $8.00. From year one to year two, there is at an annual rate of . In year one, $72.00 will buy baskets, and in year two, $72.00 will buy baskets. This example illustrates that, as the price level falls, the value of money . rises,falls,remains the same

Answers

Answer:

From Year 1 to Year 2 : There is annual deflation 11.11%

As price falls, value of money rises

Explanation:

Given : Commodity Basket Cost = $9 in Year 1 ; Commodity Basket Cost = $8 in Year 2

From Year 1 to Year 2 : There has been fall in price level. Proportionate (%) Fall in price level = Change in Price / Old Price x 100

So, Fall in price level = [ ( 9 - 8 ) / 9] x 100 = 1/9 x 100 = 11.11%

Hence, from year 1 to year 2 : there has been 11% fall in price i.e Deflation

Considering Income = $72  :

  • Year 1 : It can purchase 72 / 9 = 8 commodity baskets
  • Year 2 : It can purchase 72 / 8 = 9 commodity baskets

So, it illustrates that : As price falls, the purchasing power of money (value of money) rises.
