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 50 hours and the administrator worked 48 hours. The federal income tax withheld for all three employees, who are single, can be determined from the wage bracket withholding table in Exhibit 2. Assume further that the social security tax rate was 6.0%, the Medicare tax rate was 1.5%, and one withholding allowance is $75.

Determine the gross pay and the net pay for each of the three employees for the current pay period. If required, round your answers to two decimal places.

On January 1, 2020, Ridge Road Company acquired 25 percent of the voting shares of Sauk Trail, Inc., for $4,000,000 in cash. Both companies provide commercial Internet support services but serve markets in different industries. Ridge Road made the investment to gain access to Sauk Trail’s board of directors and thus facilitate future cooperative agreements between the two firms. Ridge Road quickly obtained several seats on Sauk Trail’s board, which gave it the ability to significantly influence Sauk Trail’s operating and investing activities. The January 1, 2020, carrying amounts and corresponding fair values for Sauk Trail’s assets and liabilities follow: Carrying Amount Fair Value Cash and receivables $ 175,000 $ 175,000 Computing equipment 5,585,000 6,740,000 Patented technology 165,000 4,130,000 Trademark 215,000 2,130,000 Liabilities (250,000 ) (250,000 ) Also, as of January 1, 2020, Sauk Trail’s computing equipment had a seven-year remaining estimated useful life. The patented technology was estimated to have a five-year remaining useful life. The trademark's useful life was considered indefinite. Ridge Road attributed to goodwill any unidentified excess cost.

a) Draw and label your own circuit diagram using standard schematic symbols for a circuit with a 12 V battery, a 15 ohm resistor, a 400 mH inductor, and a switch, all in series.

b) Write a diffferential equation (in the form of a loop equation) describing the behavior of this circuit after the switch is closed.

c) The switch is first closed at time t = 0. Write down an equation for current in the circuit as a function of time.

d) Use integration to find the total amount of heat that has been dissipated in the resistor from t = 0, when the switch was closed, until t = 0.040 seconds

e) What is the energy stored in the inductor after 0.040 seconds have elapsed since closing the switch?

f) What is the total work done by the battery between t = 0 and t = 0.040 seconds?

• in your own words please write an essay on a real case of actual fraud affecting a company that has occurred between 2010 and 2020 where you should mention The name and location of the company that was the victim of the fraud must be clearly identified and A clear explanation of what the fraud was and how it affected the company and The financial cost or estimated financial cost to the company of the fraud And lastly what actions the company took in response to the fraud

On October 1, 2020, Pearl Equipment Company sold a pecan-harvesting machine to Valco Brothers Farm, Inc. In lieu of a cash payment Valco Brothers Farm gave Arden a 2-year, $171,200, 10% note (a realistic rate of interest for a note of this type). The note required interest to be paid annually on October 1. Pearl’s financial statements are prepared on a calendar-year basis.

Assuming Valco Brothers Farm fulfills all the terms of the note, prepare the necessary journal entries for Pearl Equipment Company for the entire term of the note. Assume that reversing entries are not made on January 1, 2021 and January 1, 2022. (Record journal entries in the order presented in the problem. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts. Credit account titles are automatically indented when the amount is entered. Do not indent manually.)

Determine the intervals on which the graph of ?=?(?) is concave up or concave down, and find the points of inflection.

?(?) = (?^(2) − 17) ?^?

Provide intervals in the form (∗,∗).

Use the symbol ∞ for infinity, ∪ for combining intervals, and an appropriate type of parenthesis "(", ")", "[", or "]", depending on whether the interval is open or closed. Enter ∅

if the interval is empty.

Provide points of inflection as a comma‑separated list of (?,?)

ordered pairs. If the function does not have any inflection points, enter DNE.

Use exact values for all responses.
