Schultz v. Capital International Security, Inc. 460 F.3d 595 (4th Cir. 2006) Facts: The plaintiff-agents provided security services for Schultz and his family at his Virginia residence in twelve-hour shifts. The agents were paid a daily rate for each shift; they received no extra pay for overtime. The agents had a command post at the residence, from which they observed security camera monitors, answered the telephone, and kept a daily log of all arrivals and departures. They also made hourly walks of the property, ensured that members of his family were safe when departing and arriving, sorted mail, and performed various tasks upon request of his family. In addition to their security duties, the agents were responsible for having the household’s vehicles washed and fueled, making wake-up calls, moving furniture, and doing research on the Internet. Schultz's long-time driver and travel agent, Sammy Hebri, formed a company called Capital International Security, Inc. (CIS). Hebri started CIS for the purpose of becoming Schultz's security contractor. Hebri sent a memo (dated July 24, 2002) to the agents directing them to obtain their own private security business licenses from the VDCJS and individual liability insurance so they could be classified as independent contractors. Issue: The issue is whether the bodyguards were considered to be employees or independent contractors for the purpose of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Action: You must respond to all questions below.

Question 1c - Classification Test: In the above case, what kind of classification test could have been used and what would be the result?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Hence the answer is given as follows,

Explanation:

1A) In the given case, the agents who are the plaintiffs were working as security guards for Schultz and his family. There was miscellaneous work that they were required to conduct for the family. The agents were paid a daily wage and weren't paid overtime. Schultz’s driver opened a replacement company called CIS and asked the agents to get their own private security business licenses in order that they will get classified as independent contractors. So, the difficulty arises that whether the agents should be classified as employees or as independent contractors.

The agents were paid a daily wage and not a salary. Moreover, they weren't qualified for overtime pay. Employees usually get salaries and are eligible to urge over time by the overtime work. Hence the agents are independent contractors and can't be considered employees.

1C) In the given case, a hybrid classification test is often wont to check the status of whether the agents were employees or independent contractors. A hybrid classification test has characteristics of right to regulate test also as economic realities test. Schultz and his family weren't controlling the work of the agents. The agents had pre-determined work and that was conducting it in an independent manner. The agents also were paid on a day to day and didn't have a timekeeping requirement. Hence the agents can qualify as independent contractors and not employees as per the hybrid classification test.

Liabilities $70,000 $80,000
If the company paid dividends totaling $5,000, what is the amount of net income for 2016?
A. $20,000.B. $105,000.C. $80,000.D. $25,000.

Answers

Answer:

D. $25,000

Explanation:

The equity is the difference between assets and liabilities

Opening equity=$150,000-$70,000

opening equity=$80,000

Ending equity=$180,000-$80,000

ending equity=$100,000

The ending equity formula below can be used to derive the net income for 2016:

ending equity=beginning equity+ net income-dividends

The net income increases the amount of ending equity while dividends decrease it.

net income=unknown

dividends=$5000

$100,000=$80,000+net income-$5000

net income=$100,000-$80,000+$5,000

net income=$25,000

Suppose that a Country Club is considering what price to charge for adults. They know that if they charge a price of $100 then 70 adults will join and if they charge a price of $120 then 50 adults will join. What is the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand for adults at this Country Club

Answers

Answer:

1.43

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

Price =120 /100 - 1 = 0.2

Quantity = 50/ 70 - 1 =  0.2857

0.2857 / 0.2 = 1.43

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.  

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.  

Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases  

Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price

p = 0,2

=0.2857

In this market, the equilibrium hourly wage is $ , and the equilibrium quantity of labor is thousand workers. Suppose a senator introduces a bill to legislate a minimum hourly wage of $6. This type of price control is called a .

Answers

Answer:

The equilibrium hourly wage is the wage where the curve of supply of labor intersects with that of the demand for labor. The same goes for the equilibrium quantity of labor.

The equilibrium hourly wage is $10, and the equilibrium quantity of labor is 450 thousand workers.

If a Senator introduces a minimum hourly wage, this is considered a Price Floor.

Price floors are prices that that the government mandates that one cannot charge below for a good or service. If there is a price floor on cake for instance, a person is not allowed to charge less than that price floor for cake. The Senator's bill is therefore saying that people should not be paid less than $6 an hour.

On January 1, a machine with a useful life of 5 years and a salvage value of $15000 was purchased for $115000. What is the depreciation expense for year 2 under straight-line depreciation

Answers

Answer:

Annual depreciation (year 2)= $20,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $115,000

Salvage value= $15,000

Useful life= 5 years

To calculate the annual depreciation under the straight-line method, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (115,000 - 15,000) / 5

Annual depreciation= $20,000

9. Suppose Betty saves $200 each month in her 401(k) account. How much less will her monthly take-home pay be than if she saved nothing? (Assume a combined 20% state and federal income tax rate.)

Answers

Answer:

$160

Explanation:

The way 401(k) savings work is that employees can save from their earnings before tax is deducted, which means that on the $200 saved no tax is deducted, hence, the take of the employee reduces by $200

When there are savings, a tax of 20% would have been deducted from the $200, as a result, the employee would be left with $160($200-($200*20%)), which means that take-home would reduce by $40, the amount tax deducted.

The reduction in take-home=$200-$40

The reduction in take-home=$160

a. increase the coupon rate
b. decrease the coupon rate
c. increase the market price
d. decrease the market price
e. increase the time period

Answers

Answer: d. decrease the market price

Explanation:

Interest rates and the prices of bonds are negatively correlated as one increasing means that the other is decreasing.

The reason is this: when market interest rates rise, investors will move away from bonds to other investments because bonds offer a fixed payment and so will be less attractive than other investments which would be offering higher returns based on the higher market rates.

The drop in demand for bonds will lead to their prices falling as per the rules of demand and supply.

Thirsty Cactus Corp. just paid a dividend of $1.50 per share. The dividends are expected to grow at 25 percent for the next 9 years and then level off to a 5 percent growth rate indefinitely. If the required return is 13 percent, what is the price of the stock today?

Answers

Answer:

$143.40

Explanation:

The dividend for the next year = [tex]\text{ current year dividend} \times (1 + \text{growth})[/tex]  

                                                   = $ 1.50 x (1 + 0.13)

                                                   = 1.50 x 1.30

                                                   = $ 1.95

The dividend in the second year = 1.95 x 1.30

                                                       = $ 2.54

Similarly, the dividend for the year 9 is = [tex]$1.50 \times (1.30)^9$[/tex]

                                                                = $ 15.91

The value of the stock at the end of year 9,

[tex]$=\frac{\text{Dividend of year 10}}{\text{(Required rate of return - Growth rate)}}$[/tex]

[tex]$=\frac{15.91\times1.05}{0.13-0.05}$[/tex]

= $ 208.81

The present value factor [tex]$=\frac{1}{(1+r)^n}$[/tex]

where, r = rate of interest = 13% = 0.13

            n = years (1 to 9)

So, the present value factor for the 2nd year is [tex]$=\frac{1}{(1+0.13)^2}$[/tex]

                                                                              [tex]$=\frac{1}{(1.13)^2}$[/tex]

                                                                              [tex]$=\frac{1}{1.2769}$[/tex]

                                                                              = 0.783147

Therefore, the price of the stock today is calculated as to be $ 143.40
