Answer:
D. The window washer was entitled to no recovery based on his status as an independent contractor.
Explanation:
The reason is that the employer is liable to have all safety measures in place to safeguard the employee from any type of injury at work. If despite all these safety measures, the employee gets injured then he is entitled to workers' compensation.
However, the employer is not liable to compensate independent contractors for accidents as the duty of care is not upon the employer in the case of independent contractors which means that the independent workers are obliged to take all necessary precautions to avoid any injury because it will not be compensated by the employer. Thus, the employer is not liable to compensate independent contractors and option D is correct.

Q 5.15: At the beginning of January 2017, a company reported inventory of $4,000. During the month, the company made purchases of $17,800. On January 31, 2017, a physical count of inventory reported $4,200 on hand. Find the cost of goods sold for the month.
Answer:
COGS= $17,600
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventory= $4,000
Purchase= $17,800
Ending inventory= $4,200
To calculate the cost of goods sold (COGS), we need to use the following formula:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods purchased - ending finished inventory
COGS= 4,000 + 17,800 - 4,200
COGS= 17,600
Action Travel has 10 employees each working 40 hours per week and earning $20 an hour. Federal income taxes are withheld at 15% and state income taxes at 6%. FICA taxes are 7.65% and unemployment taxes are 3.8% of the first $7,000 earned per employee. What is the actual direct deposit of payroll for the first week of January
Answer:
$5,708
Explanation:
Computation of the actual direct deposit of payroll for the first week of January
The First step is to find the total salary expenses
Total salary expenses= 10 employees × 40 hours × $20
Total salary expenses= $8,000

Total salary expense $8,000
Federal income tax rate ($1,200)
($8,000*15%)
State income tax rate ($480)
($8,000*6%)
FICA tax rate ($612)
($8,000*7.65%)
Actual direct deposit $5,708
Therefore the actual direct deposit of payroll for the first week of January will be $5,708

Assuming that the physical output (i.e., the actual quantity of all final goods and services) of all final goods and services remains constant, if the general price level in the economy triples, so does nominal output.
a) true
b) false
Answer:
a) true
Explanation:
A rise in the general price level is called inflation and it affects the nominal value of the company's output. E.g. you sell pants and last year they sold at $10 and now since inflation rate is 10%, they sell at $11. But inflation only affects nominal values, it doesn't affect real values which are calculated using a base price of a certain year X, times the quantity sold. Following the example, your real output would not be $11 per pair of pants, instead it would still remain at $10 since the inflation is discounted.

The tenants will pay for all utilities 0.83 points 0142:40 What monthly rent must she charge for each apartment to break even? (Round intermediate calculations and answer to the nearest whole number.
Answer:
$651
Explanation:
For computation of Break-even monthly rent per apartment first we need to find out the monthly rent which is shown below:-
Monthly costs = Mortgage payment + Real estate taxes + Insurance costs + Maintenance costs
= $940 + ($1,440 ÷ 12) + ($900 ÷ 12) + (2 × ($1,000 ÷ 12)
= $940 + $120 + $75 + $167
= $1,302
Break-even monthly rent per apartment = Monthly costs ÷ 2
= $1,302 ÷ 2
= $651
Therefore we have applied the above formula.
We ignored the income tax as it is not relevant also it is tax deductible expense
