Question

Accounting

Daphne complains to you, "BC has the highest taxes in the world."

You laugh.

"Why are you laughing? I work 40 hours a week and I'm supposed to be getting paid $21 per hour. Every two weeks, I get a cheque for $1,313.26! It seems so low!"

You reply, "Well maybe you can find a better job?"

Daphne frowns. "Well, I did have the option of taking this other job with a $16/hr starting wage, They were going to increase my wage by $3 each year for the next five years."

"That's not bad."

"Well, this job was $21 starting and they promised a $1 hourly raise each year for the next five years."

"Wow, that's a tough call. Are you sure you're going to be staying here for the full five years?"

Daphne pauses for a moment. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Maybe things will change in my thirties, but my plan is to focus on work for the time being."

You decide to help Daphne. Showing your work, help her calculate how much she is paying in taxes. Also, give her general advice on how payroll works (using the correct terminology) and if she made the right career decision last year. Include any questions you might ask her and why they're relevant to your analysis.
