After 2 years of employment, Elizabeth resigned her position as of June 15th which is the end of the current bi-weekly pay period. She works 40 regular hours a week and has worked 8 hours overtime each week for the last 6 weeks. Calculate the insurable hours that will be reported in Block 15A of the Record of Employment.

2208
Points possible: 1
Feedback
The correct answer is 2,208 hours.
Insurable hours for an employee on a bi-weekly pay schedule are determined from the hours worked
over the last 27 pay periods. The insurable hours for overtime paid are the actual hours worked. You
would report Elizabeth's last 27 pay periods multiplied by 80 hours equals 2160 regular hours. Then add 6 weeks multiplied by 8 overtime hours for 48 overtime hours, which equals 2208 total insurable hours. Tip: One overtime hour is equal to one insurable hour worked regardless of the rate of pay.

$2,000.00 plus four multiplied by $1,500.00 equals $28,000.00, which is the eligible portion of the retiring allowance. The non-eligible portion of the retiring allowance is the total retiring allowance less any eligible portion that has been calculated using the above provisions. In this situation, the non-eligible portion is the retiring allowance of $68,000.00 minus the eligible portion of $28,000.00, which equals $40,000.00.

Attempt #3: 1/1(Score: 1/1)
Feedback
The correct answer is $62,358.75. When an employee is paid solely by commission or is paid a salary plus irregular commissions, the employee's insurable earnings, to be reported in Block 15B on
the ROE, are calculated as follows:
total insurable earnings paid within the last 52 weeks or since the date of employment (whichever is shorter) excluding payments received because of termination;
divide the finding by the lesser of 52 weeks or length of employment to determine the average weekly earnings;
multiply the average weekly earnings by the lesser of 27 weeks or the period of employment;
add additional insurable payments upon termination.
Insurable earnings to be reported in Block 15B of Angie's ROE are: $104,013.00 divided by 52 multiplied by 27 plus $3,792.00 plus $4,560.00, which equals $62,358.75.

The correct answer is $16,800.00.
A reasonable car allowance is paid at government prescribed rates. In Yukon for the first 5,000 business kilometres the reimbursement rate is $0.72 and for each business kilometre thereafter the rate is $0.66. 5,000 kilometres multiplied by $0.72 plus 20,000 (25,000 - 5,000) kilometres multipled by $0.66 equals a reimbursement amount of $16,800.00.

The correct answer is $89.25. If a non-regular payment is paid separately from the regular salary or wages payment, the manual calculation method must be used, without applying the pay period exemption, as the exemption would have been applied when calculating the Canada Pension Plan or Québec Pension Plan contributions on the regular pay period pensionable earnings. In this scenario, to calculate the Canada Pension Plan contribution, multiply the bonus amount of $1,500.00
by the current Canada Pension Plan annual rate of 5.95%.

Feedback
The correct answer is $338.00. To calculate income taxes using the bonus tax method when there is
more than one bonus in a year: Divide the current net bonus amount by the pay period frequency ($990.00 divided by 52 weeks equals $19.04). Divide the May bonus by the pay period frequency ($990.00 divided by 52 equals $19.04). Add these two amounts ($38.08). Add this amount to the employee's regular pay period net taxable income ($38.08 plus $891.67). Add the amount from Step 2 to the employee's regular pay period net taxable income ($19.04 plus $891.67). Determine the federal and provincial income taxes on the regular net taxable income plus both prorated bonuses ($38.08 plus $891.67). Determine the federal and provincial income taxes on the regular net taxable income ($891.67) plus the prorated previous bonus ($19.04). Subtract the Step 7 federal and provincial income taxes from the Step 6 federal and provincial income taxes. Multiply the results by the pay period frequency to determine the tax to withhold on the current bonus payment.

5500.00
Points possible: 1
Feedback
The correct answer is $5,500.00.
Advances on commissions are considered employment income and subject to deductions at source. The mid-month advance would have had all statutory deductions withheld; therefore, the amount owing at the end of the pay period is the amount of commissions earned for the pay period less the mid-month advance. $7,500.00 minus $2,000.00.

The correct answer is $1,400.00. The exemption for an irregular commission payment is calculated by multiplying the annual exemption of $3,500.00 by the number of days between payments in the same calendar year and then divided by the number of days in the calendar year. $3,500.00 multiplied by 146 days divided by 365 equals a Canada Pension Plan exemption of $1,400.00.

There is no limit to the number of non-cash gifts an employee may receive per year for special occasions such as a birthday, a birth, a wedding or a religious holiday. There is however, a single $500.00 exemption that can be applied against the total value of all the non-cash gifts; any amount in excess of $500.00 annually is included in the employee's income as a non-cash taxable benefit. The total value of the gifts, $600.00, less the exemption of $500.00 results in a non-cash taxable benefit of $100.00.

In this scenario you will take the salary of $800.00, add the bonus amount of $1,500.00, since they are both being paid on the same cheque, and subtract the semi-monthly Canada Pension Plan exemption of $145.83 and multiply by the current Canada Pension Plan annual rate of 5.95%.

The correct answer is $37.49.
There is no exemption to consider when calculating Employment Insurance premiums; therefore, when a non-regular payment is paid with a regular salary or wages payment you would add the insurable earnings and multiply by the Employment Insurance rate. In this scenario you will take her regular salary of $800.00 and add the bonus of $1,500.00, since they are both being paid on the same cheque, and multiply it by the current Employment Insurance annual rate of 1.63%.

The correct answer is $3,000.00.
Death benefits are taxed using the lump-sum tax rates; however, the first $10,000.00 of a death benefit is exempt from tax. For a $25,000.00 death benefit, only $15,000.00 would be subject to tax at the lump-sum tax rates. The combined federal and provincial tax rate for a payment of up to $15,000.00 is 20% in all provinces except Québec.

The correct answer is $338.00. To calculate income taxes using the bonus tax method when there is
more than one bonus in a year: Divide the current net bonus amount by the pay period frequency ($990.00 divided by 52 weeks equals $19.04). Divide the May bonus by the pay period frequency ($990.00 divided by 52 equals $19.04). Add these two amounts ($38.08). Add this amount to the employee's regular pay period net taxable income ($38.08 plus $891.67). Add the amount from Step 2 to the employee's regular pay period net taxable income ($19.04 plus $891.67). Determine the federal and provincial income taxes on the regular net taxable income plus both prorated bonuses ($38.08 plus $891.67). Determine the federal and provincial income taxes on the regular net taxable income ($891.67) plus the prorated previous bonus ($19.04). Subtract the Step 7 federal and provincial income taxes from the Step 6 federal and provincial income taxes. Multiply the results by the pay period frequency to determine the tax to withhold on the current bonus payment.

Attempt #2: 1/1(Score: 1/1)
Feedback
The correct answer is $58.15.
To calculate the bi-weekly non-cash taxable benefit for group term life insurance, multiply the annual
salary of $42,000.00 by 2 (two times annual salary), which is $84,000.00 in coverage. Then multiply by $1.50 (the premium amount) and divide by 1000 (premium is based on each $1,000.00 of coverage), which yields a monthly premium of $126.00. The bi-weekly non-cash taxable benefit is calculated by taking the monthly amount of $126.00 multiplied by 12 months and divided by 26 pay periods for a non-cash taxable benefit amount of $58.15.

The wages in lieu of notice should also be noted in Block 17C. $735.00 multiplied by 27 pay periods equals $19,845.00 plus 8 weeks' wages in lieu of notice ($5,880.00), plus vacation pay ($2,940.00) equals total insurable earnings $28,665.00.

There is no exemption to consider when calculating Employment Insurance premiums; therefore, when a non-regular payment is paid with a regular salary or wages payment you would add the insurable earnings and multiply by the Employment Insurance rate. In this scenario you will take her regular salary of $800.00 and add the bonus of $1,500.00, since they are both being paid on the same cheque, and multiply it by the current Employment Insurance annual rate of 1.63%.

The correct answer is $3,000.00.
Death benefits are taxed using the lump-sum tax rates; however, the first $10,000.00 of a death benefit is exempt from tax. For a $25,000.00 death benefit, only $15,000.00 would be subject to tax at the lump-sum tax rates. The combined federal and provincial tax rate for a payment of up to $15,000.00 is 20% in all provinces except Québec.

$$10
Attempt #2: 1/1(Score: 1/1)

The correct answer is 10. Availability is the number of thirty-day periods the automobile is available to the employee in the current taxation year. 286 days divided by 30 equals 9.53. The result is rounded to the nearest whole number if it is greater than one, so 9.53 is rounded to 10. Had the result been 9.50, then the number of periods would equal 9 since the government requirement is to round decimals down, not up, at .50.

The correct answer is $28,665.00.
Insurable earnings for an employee paid weekly are calculated on the earnings over the last 27 pay periods and include any vacation pay and legislated wages in lieu of notice. The retiring allowance is
not recorded as insurable earnings but should be noted in Block 17C under "Other monies". The wages in lieu of notice should also be noted in Block 17C. $735.00 multiplied by 27 pay periods equals $19,845.00 plus 8 weeks' wages in lieu of notice ($5,880.00), plus vacation pay ($2,940.00) equals total insurable earnings $28,665.00.

Attempt #2: 1/1(Score: 1/1)
Feedback
The correct answer is $9,861.50.
Advances on commissions are considered employment income and subject to deductions at source. The mid-month advance would have had all statutory deductions withheld; therefore, the amount owing at the end of the pay period is the amount of commissions earned for the pay period less the mid-month advance. Total commission for the month of September is $137,350.00 multiplied by 9% which equals $12,361.50. September 30 commision payment will be $12,361.50 minus $2,500.00 = $9,861.50.

The correct answer is $19,562.00.
When an employee is paid solely by commission or is paid a salary plus irregular commissions, the employee's average weekly earnings, to be reported in Block 15B on the ROE, are calculated as follows:
total insurable earnings paid within the last 52 weeks or since the date of employment (whichever is shorter), excluding payments received because of termination;
divide it by the lesser of 52 weeks or length of employment to determine the average weekly earnings;
multiply the average weekly earnings by the lesser of 27 weeks or the period of employment;
add the other insurable earnings paid because of the termination.
The total insurable earnings for Block 15B of Josie's ROE is: $26,312.00 divided by 52 and then multiplied by 27 plus $2,500.00 plus $3,400.00, which equals $19,562.00.
The weekly average method is used for ROE reporting regardless of the frequency of the employer's
