Daily Journal- Property Tax

Daily Journal Property Tax December 1, 2009

Today we learned how to calculate property taxes.
You calculate property taxes by first finding:
a)The assessed Value of the property
b)The tax rate

{Note} Assessed value is not the same as market value. It is simply an artificial valuation set by a provincial tax assessor for taxation purposes.

Mill Rate is how much you pay for every $1000

Example Question

1) The Davies own a home assessed at $80 000. The rate of assessment is 45%. The mill rate is 60 mills and there was a local improvement tax of$210.00 for a sidewalk reconstruction. What was their total tax bill?

$80 000 X .45 = $36 000

You times 80 000 by 45 percent to find the total portion assessment.

$36 000 X 60/ 10000 = $2160

Then you times the total portion assessment by the mill rate but remember the mill rate is for every $1000 so divide by 1000 after multiplying by 60.

$2160 + 210 = $2370

There was also a local improvement tax of$210.00 for a sidewalk so you must add it to your property tax.

$2370 is how much you will have to pay for your property tax.

Topic: Comparing Prices Using Unit Prices

Today, we looked at page 237 in your text book, and looked over example two.

We were assigned page 239 numbers one and two

Tip: When calculating price per unit, it is ALWAYS ---> cost over quantity

Example: Milk was being sold at these sizes --> $3.98 for 4L Milk; $2.69 for 2L Milk; $1.65 for

1L Milk

Question: Which would be the best deal?

Solution: Remember, cost over quantity! First deal: 3.98/4 = .995 per litre

Second deal: 2.69/2 = 1.345 per litre

Third Deal: 1.65/1 = 1.65 per litre

* / means to divide *

This shows that the first deal of $3.98 for 4L would be the best because it is the cheapest per litre of milk.

Today we learned about foreign exchange rates. We were assigned page 240, questions 7,8,9,10,11. The assignment was due for homework next class.

Example 1 1 Kroner= $ 0.19 Can

6000 Kroner = 6000 x Can $0.19

6000 Kroner = Can $1140

tuesday novemeber 24

today we worked on taxable income so you can figure out how to get your total income for your pay check. And our home work for the day was on pg. 233 questions 1,2,3,8,9,10

Tut. 5.2

Tut. 5.2 starts on page 228.
CPP- Canadian Pension Plan
EI- Employment Insurance
Taxable income- the taxable income= the gross pay-rrsp-union dues-rpp










Use the purple table on page 231 for estimating and use the tables that were handed out for calculating
The assignment is number 5 on page 233

November 19, 2009 Tutorial 5.1

Page 222

Investigation 1:
slope= (0-240)/(0-40) = -240/-40 = $6
(240-420)/(40-60) = -180/-20 = $9
5. employee worked 70 hours/week
(40)(6)=240 (30)(9)=270
270+240=$510/week

Gross earnings: pay before deductions

Example 1:
(40)(7.50)=$300 (6)(7.50)(1.5)=$67.50
300+67.50= $367.50
Example 2:
Dale's sales = $21 675
($10000)(.09)=$900
21675-10000=($11675)(.12)=1401
1401+900= $2301
Example 3:
(7.25)(160)=1160
figuring out earnings - (3000)(.04)=120+800=920
1160=800+x
360=x-commission
360/x = 4/100
360/4%=9000

Different types of salary:
- wage
- graduated commission
- commission
- piecework

Systems Of Equations: We reveiewed these.
-have 2 equations and 2 variables
-points of intersection
-parallel lines=no solution
-could overlap=infinate # of solutions
-to solve them; graph, substitution, or adding/subtraction

We were shown Tut 3.5 on page 149 of the text
Steps to Solve reduce system to 1 variable
Solve the equation
substitute and solve for other variable

ex 1 x=her speed y=river speed
Equations x+y=10
x-y=6
Solve (2x=16) /2

Find Other Equation x+y=10
8+y=10
y=2

x=8 y=2 Final Answer (8,2) Her speed =8km and river speed =2km.

We were given an assignment on page 153 #1ac,2b, 3, 4, & 7

Solving Systems by Addition or Subtraction

On Tuesday in class, we went over how to solve a system of equations either by addition or subtraction. We watched a video on youtube that explained all the steps to follow, and we wrote them down on paper with an example. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ej25myhYcSg, this is the link to the video we watched. We were assigned the four equations on the back to do for homework.

Steps:
1) Eliminate a variable by doing addition/subtraction.
2) Add the coefficients together
3) Once you eliminate one variable, solve for the other variable.
4) Substitute into the equation of your choice.
5) Solve!!

Example:
2x+3y=4
+(-2x+7y=16)
0x +10y=20
/10y /10
y=2

2x+3(2)=4
2x+6=4
-6 -6
2x=-2
x= -1


Answer: -1,2

solving by addition

Here is the YouTube video we watched in class

tut 3-4

On Monday we learned more about using WinPlot to find a linear equation. We learned that when there is an intersect it means the slopes are different and there will be one solution. If the lines run parallel to each other it means that there is no solution and the slopes are the same with different y intercepts. We also learned that when the equations are multiplied, added, or subtracted, the equation stays the same. To find a solution without solving, change the x and y values to 1. If it comes out to 1=1 it is the solution. If the point on one line is different than the other it is not the solution.

tut 3-4

On Friday we learned how to use WinPlot to find linear equations. We started with a line over line equation. This means that the slope and same intercept. It has an infinite number of solutions and infinite number of points.

tut 3.1 solving linear systems by graphing Example #2

sales clerks at a computer store have a choice of 2 methods of pay.
plan A= 5%of commission
plan B= weekly salary of $200 plus 2% of commission sales
Explain which is better and why
Solution
plan A is 5% so y=0.05x
plan B is 200 dollars plus 2% so y=200+0.02x
each equation equals a linear function so type each one into the y= function
then adjust your window settings to the best fit of the graph
press window function
x min=0
x max=9400
x scl=100
y min=0
y max=600
y scl=1oo
x res=1

so the 5% of commission is at a faster rate so it would be the better choice
to find the break even point you click 2nd function trace 5 or intersect
set first curve to the left then second curve to the right and guess then enter
the break even point (or intersection) is x=6666.66 Y=333.33

Welcome – Blogging Expectations

Applied Math 30S - Blogging Expectations 2009 – 2010

 

During this class you will be required to "scribe". Scribing means to make a record of what happens in the class that day. Once the initial couple of days are over, I will begin to have blog draw each day after the day's instructional session.

 

When it is your turn to scribe, your posting must include the following.

• A description of the day's topic.
  
• the page number if the text book is used
  
• a description of the handout if the text is not used
  
• key ideas
  
• at least 1 sample problem with a solution.
  
• homework assignment along with at least one completed homework question
  
• if the day is a "work period" you must offer something useful to our class. This might be a sample problem, a link, or even a great idea or quote. It must be something of value to people.
  

 

At the end of the semester I will look to see if you have completed your assigned postings. I will select 3 – 5 postings, depending on total completed and mark those using the above criteria. This will count towards the assignment / project part of your final mark.

 

Your postings will be made to a blog site. It is my hope that students will be able to communicate throughout the semester hopefully learning something from each other in the process.

 

You are expected to not only post the days events when it is your turn, but also comment on any of the postings that are there. You may use this as a place where you can ask / answer questions to help you better prepare for the exam.

 

If needed, you may use the scanner to scan in handwritten solutions or notes and post in that manner.

 

I hope that this blogging experiment will be a valuable tool in learning the material that is presented. This is a new thing for me and so things may change throughout the year, but I believe that it will be a successful venture. Furthermore, I believe that more you put into it the more you will get out of it.

 

The blog site is at http://drcssapma30s09s1.blogspot.com/

 

 

There will be a link to the blog from our EDLINE page. You MUST participate in this class activity.
