(This is the full question. Consultant, Computer Programmer, and Administrator only has to be answered for. Thank you!)--Calculate Payroll

Breakin Away Company has three employees-a consultant, a computer programmer, and an administrator. The following payroll information is available for each employee:

For the current pay period, the computer programmer worked 60 hours and the administrator worked 50 hours. The federal income tax withheld for all three employees, who are single, can be determined by adding $356.90 to 28% of the difference between the employee's amount subject to withholding and $1,796.00. Assume further that the social security tax rate was 6%, the Medicare tax rate was 1.5%, and one withholding allowance is $70.

Determine the gross pay and the net pay for each of the three employees for the current pay period. Assume the normal working hours in a week are 40 hours. If required, round your answers to two decimal places.

LED headlights on cars seem to becoming increasingly popular, so I thought I would make my problem about that. I believe that the proportion of car owners who have LED headlights is higher than the proportion of car owners to use regular non-LED headlights now, (according to data from 2019) versus in 2010. During two independent surveys, one survey noted that 355 out of 600 car owners had LED headlights in 2020, while in 2010, 250 out of 600 car owners had LED headlights.

Test this hypothesis using the significance level of 0.05.

Analyse the effectiveness of fiscal and monetary policies employed to fight against the economic slow-down in the March quarter of 2020 and June quarter of 2020; and how they influenced Australia’s economic growth.

Due to the global pandemic, china faces GDP growth for 2020 Q1 to fall by 6.8% year-on-year basis while producer prices for march 2020 also declined by 1.5% year-on-year. Use an closed-economy AD-AS Model to analyse what has happened to china economy. Explain how the event affects the curve in AD-AS Model, taking into consideration of both initial impacts and the subsequent government interventions. Make sure the final short-run equilibrium is consistent with the data mentioned.

6. The public debt - Ownership

The following table contains approximate figures for gross domestic product (GDP) and the national debt in the United States for June 2005 and June 2010. The national debt represents the total amount of money owed by the federal government to holders of U.S. securities. All numbers are in trillions of dollars.

Source: “U.S. Treasury, Bureau of Economic Analysis.”

Publicly held debt is the portion of the national debt that is held outside the federal government and the Federal Reserve System. In June 2005, the publicly held debt as a percentage of total national debt was - choose one - 48.7% , 49 %, 53.8%, 49.5%

In June 2005, the percentage of the U.S. national debt held by foreigners was choose one - 26.5%, 24.9%, 24.4%, 25.8%

The fraction of the national debt held by foreigners will eventually need to be repaid to foreigners, thereby reducing the collective purchasing power of Americans. Between 2005 and 2010, the fraction of the national debt held by foreigners choose one - decreased or increased

The absolute level of the debt does not necessarily provide a clear indication of a nation's debt burden. Thus, economists often look at relative measures of the national debt. One possible relative measure of the national debt is the federal debt held by the public (outside the federal government and the Federal Reserve) as a percentage of GDP. In 2005, publicly held debt was CHOOSE ONE - 50.5%, 46.2%, 51%. 30.9%   of GDP. Between 2005 and 2010, publicly held debt as a percentage of GDP choose one - decreased or increased

Assess the Impact of Globalisation

1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?

Globalization has many advantages and disadvantages to each type of globalization that exists. The most common when globalization is being discussed is economic globalization, which deals with the impact of globalization on countries economy. One advantage to economic globalization is increased competition. Increased competition is great for countries especially those that are newer to the global economy as it helps them to identify themselves in the economy and encourages aggressive growth. A second important advantage is the spread of technology and innovation that businesses are able to share with one another. This is a crucial component to the global economy as technology enables economies to be global in the first place. Without the correct infrastructure, technology and innovation, it is impossible for a country to remain connected to the global economy and other countries. A third advantage to economic globalization is the development of higher standards of living for society in countries that are on the rise for globalization. An example of this would be India where their economy has really taken off in the last 10-15 years. India has really made a mark in the global economy in the information technology sector. As a result, India has become a key player in the global economy, which has significantly helped improve their workforce, society, and products/services that it offers. One disadvantage that economic globalization offers is the contribution to cultural homogeneity or creating a monoculture. The thought is that if countries continue to adapt the same trends and global ideologies, there will be a loss of culture and identity for countries. While having similar views across the world can be a uniting function across different cultures, it can also contribute to the creation of a monoculture; which means less of a unique identity for countries in the global space. A second disadvantage of economic globalization is that large corporations gain more power. Think about a really large company like Google where they are in more than 50 countries throughout the world. Moreover, it’s parent company, Alphabet, is in more than 70 countries throughout the world.
