<span>To assess if the new development will lead to increased sales in relation to price elasticity of goods, one must evaluate the effect a reduction in price will have on demand for the product being sold and how significantly a decrease in price will increase demand proportionally.</span>
During the quarter, employee wages exempt from FUTA or SUTA hinges on 15 weeks of service. Employee 1 received wages computed as 15 weeks × $900 totaling $13,500, with exemptions totaling $6,500 after deducting the $7,000 threshold. Employee 2 accrued wages of 15 weeks × $1,200 amounting to $18,000, thus $11,000 exempt. With total payments of $13,500 and $18,000 across both employees, computations yield a collective taxable wage of $14,000 by deducting exemptions from gross wages. Consequently, SUTA and FUTA taxes at the end of the first and second quarters result in SUTA at 0.057 multiplied by $14,000 equating to $798 and FUTA at 0.008 multiplied by $14,000 amounts to $112.
