Answer: Tom would incur $2,970. in interest beyond repaying his principal of $9000.

To calculate the interest owed on the principal over a specified timeframe at a defined interest rate, we use the simple interest formula.

This Simple Interest Formula is:

where

A = interest earned on the principal

P = the principle or the amount borrowed

r = interest rate

t = the duration in years for which interest is accrued.

<pWhen we substitute the values into the formula, we have,

Answer:

$311,100

Explanation:

Solution

Let's remember the following details:

The assumption is that Chester Corp has reduced its workforce by = %

The estimated cost of exit interviews = 100

Normal separation expenses = $5000

Now,

The total number of employees = 305

The reduction in workforce = 20%

So,

The number of employees being laid off = 305 x 20% = 61 individuals

Thus,

The separation expense per employee = $5000

Cost for exit interviews = $100

Total expense per individual = $5,100

Now,

The overall separation cost = 61 individuals x total separation cost per employee

That is,

= 61 x 5100 = $311,100

A) For the first half of the year, the monthly demand averages to 560 / 6 = 93.33
Order size for the first six months can be calculated using: Sqrt(2 x A x O / C)
Where:
O is the cost of placing an order
C is the carrying cost per order
= Sqrt(2 x 93.33 x 55 / 2) = 71.65, rounded to 72
For the second half of the year, the monthly demand is 900 / 6 = 150
Order size for the second six months:
= Sqrt(2 x A x O / C)
= Sqrt(2 x 150 x 55 / 2)
= 90.83 or 91
B) For the first six months: Total monthly cost = (Q/2) x H + (d/Q) x S= (72 / 2) x 2 + (93.33 / 72) x 5 = $143.30 With a $10 discount, S = $ 55 - $10 = $ 45
Monthly TC at Q = 50 = (50/2) x 2 + (93.33 / 50)x 45 = $134.0 Monthly TC at Q = 100 = (100/2) x 2 + (93.33 / 100) x 45 = $142.00
Monthly TC at Q = 150 = (150/2) x 2 + (93.33 / 150) x 45 = $178.00
C)
Indeed, the manager should take advantage of this proposal and order Q = 50 units for the first six months. For the second six months, d = monthly demand = 900 / 6
= 150,

H = $2.00 for each unit monthly, S = $55, & EOQ = 91.
Calculating Monthly TC (Q = 91):
= (91/2) x 2 + (150/91) x 55
= $181.66
Monthly TC (Q = 50):= (50/2)x2 + (150/50)x 45= $185 Monthly TC (Q = 100) = (100/2) x 2 + (150/100) x 45= $167.50
Monthly TC (Q = 150)= (150/2) x 2 + (150/150) x 45= $195
 

Answer:

$5,000 Schedule A (Itemized Deductions)

Explanation:

Solution

Recall that:

George's total income amounts to =$5000

Property taxes equal =$3000

Operating costs are =$1500

Depreciation amounts to =$800

Now

Typically, according to the IRS guidelines, expenses incurred from a hobby are only allowable to the extent of the income generated by that hobby. Since a hobby is for personal enjoyment rather than profit, it cannot be classified as business profit and loss

Thus, George's deductible expense for the year totals $5,000 and should be reported on Schedule A (Itemized Deductions).
