Answer:
$4,125 only in situation A
Explanation:
Deductions made to reach an individual’s adjusted gross income include:
1. Certain retirement plan contributions, such as individual retirement accounts (IRA), SIMPLE IRA, SEP-IRA, and qualified plans
2. Half of the self-employment tax
3. Healthcare savings account (HSA) deductions
4. Alimony paid (included in the recipient’s gross income)
5. Moving expenses (but since 2018, only if you’re active-duty military moving due to military orders)
6. Losses incurred from the sale or exchange of property
7. Early-withdrawal penalties levied by financial institutions
8. School tuition, fees, and student loan interest (exceptions and limits usually apply)
9. Jury duty pay turned over to a filer’s employer
10. Some business-related expenses incurred by performing artists, teachers, fee-basis government officials, and reservists
Therefore applying to the scenario, we see that Clem is only able to claim deductions in situation A for the total cost incurred because they are covered under categories 3 and 10 above.
A) Clem is self-employed and this year he incurred $525 for tools and supplies related to his job. Since neither were covered by a qualified health plan. Wanda paid health insurance premiums of $3,600 to provide coverage for herself and Clem (not through an exchange).
Hence, the amount of expenses that are deductible are
Tools for self employment - 525
Health Insurance premium - 3,600
TOTAL.......................................$4,125
Certain of Clem's expenses, such as self-employment expenses and health insurance premiums, may be deductible for AGI, while rental property expenses would typically reduce rental income but would not be deducted for AGI.
The determination of what expenses are deductible for adjusted gross income (AGI) can be complex and contingent on the specifics of each taxpayer's situation. In the provided scenarios:
Clem's self-employment expenses for tools and supplies directly related to his carpentry work, amounting to $525, would typically be deductible for AGI as they are ordinary and necessary expenses for carrying on the trade or business.Health insurance premiums paid by Wanda, totaling $3,600, could potentially be deductible for AGI, but this is contingent upon several factors, such as whether Clem's business earns a profit or not, and other IRS rules regarding self-employed health insurance deductions.Regarding the rental property owned by Clem and Wanda, the $1,250 in utilities and $780 in depreciation are rental expenses that are usually considered deductible from rental income received, but they would not be deducted for AGI on a personal tax return. Instead, they would reduce the net rental income reported on Schedule E.The above conclusions are based on general tax principles and may vary depending on additional facts and circumstances or changes in tax law.
Brenda is the CEO of a large corporation. While presenting a proposal to a commercial bank for a corporate loan, she offered the bank's commercial loan manager a $10,000 "gift" for favorable treatment. Is Brenda guilty of bribery?
A. Brenda is guilty of bribery because she is dealing with a commercial bank in the normal course of business.
B. Brenda is guilty of bribery whether the manager accepts or not because the offer constitutes the crime.
C. Brenda is not guilty of bribery.
D. Brenda is guilty of bribery only if the manager accepts because the crime has not occurred without acceptance by the other party.
Answer: Brenda is not guilty of bribery.
Explanation: Bribery refers to the offering, giving, soliciting, or receiving of any item of value as a means of influencing the actions of a government official or legal office holders. Bribery, the act of promising, giving, receiving, or agreeing to receive money or some other item of value with the corrupt aim of influencing a public official in the discharge of his official duties.
If a firm's variable cost per unit estimate used in its base case analysis is $50 per unit and they anticipate the upper and lower bounds to be /- 10%, What is the "worst case" for variable cost per unit
Answer:
$55
Explanation:
Variable cost of production is the portion of production cost that varies with production amount. In addition to fixed cost it gives total cost of production.
Since there is a +-10% boundary for variable cost. The worst case in terms of high variable cost is 100%+10%= 110%
So worst price = 1.10* 50= $55
On the other hand best case scenario is 100-10= 90%
Best price= 0.9* 50= $45
Skyrim Corp. lacks the capital and capacity to launch its new helicopter for full national and international distribution. If the test market results look promising, what should be management's next step?
A) retest the product in additional markets
B) develop a planned market rollout over time
C) liquidate its assets to gain capital and capacity
D) seek the help of a nationally known consultant
E) develop a prototype
Answer:
B) develop a planned market rollout over time.
Explanation:
Since Skyrim corp has limited resources to launch its new helicopter for national and international distribution, the best option will be to develop a planned rollout that will be implemented at different times in the future.
For example they can start locally to distribute their helicopters. Then as capital and capacity increases they can go statewide, regional, and then national.
A timetable for planned expansion should be set up. For example achievement of national distribution in one year.

Following the NIMS management characteristics, as an American red cross my activity of checking in follows accountability. Accountability involves check in and out, planning of incident action, command unity, personal responsibility, span of control and resource tracking. Check in and check out involves responders reporting to assigned work appropriately.
Planning incident actions follows the the responders should follow stated plan.
Personal responsibility talks about the actions of the responder.
In command unity, all workers/responders are required to report to one boss or supervisor.
Span of control and resource tracking deals with the number of supervisors or leaders and the allocation and utilization of resources respectively.
The NIMS Management Characteristic being supported is Establishment and Transfer of Command.
Explanation:The NIMS Management Characteristic that you are supporting in this scenario is Establishment and Transfer of Command. This is because you have been notified by your office to be prepared to deploy and set up shelters, indicating a transfer of command from your supervisor. The command structure is being established and you are being tasked with organizing volunteers and preparing for shelter operations.
In incident management, it's crucial to have a clear system in place for establishing command when an incident occurs, as well as for transferring command as needed during the course of the response. This ensures that there is a designated individual or team responsible for overall management and coordination of resources and activities.
Having a structured process for the establishment and transfer of command helps ensure effective communication, coordination, and decision-making throughout the incident response. It helps maintain order, clarity, and accountability, which are critical elements in managing any type of incident, whether it's related to emergencies, disasters, or other incidents.

If the Federal Reserve tightens the money supply, other things held constant, short term interest rates will be pushed upward, and this increase probably will be greater than the increase in rates in the long term market T/F
Answer:
True
Explanation:
When the Fed tightens the money supply, it is carrying out a contractionary monetary policy. This is generally done to fight high inflation rates and basically what happens is that the Fed increases the interest rates and starts selling more securities so that it can absorb more money, therefore reducing total money supply.
Jim is able to sell a hand-carved statue for $50. The sale price reflected a 50% profit over the cost of the raw materials. How much did the raw materials cost him
Answer:
$33.33
Explanation:
We need to get the cost price of the materials as indicated by the question.
% profit = (selling price - cost price)/cost price * 100%
Let the cost price be $x
50 = (50 - x)/x * 100
50x = 100(50 - x)
50x = 5000 - 100x
150x = 5000
x = 5000/150
x = $33.33
Twenty years ago, Balzania put in place regulations requiring operators of surface mines to pay for the reclamation of mined-out land. Since then, reclamation technology has not improved. Yet, the average reclamation cost for a surface coal mine being reclaimed today is only four dollars per ton of coal that the mine produced, less than half what it cost to reclaim surface mines in the years immediately after the regulations took effect.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to account for the drop in reclamation costs described?
A. Even after Balzania began requiring surface mine operators to pay reclamation costs, coal mines in Balzania continued to be less expensive to operate than coal mines in almost any other country.
B. In the twenty years since the regulations took effect, the use of coal as a fuel has declined from the level it was at in the previous twenty years.
C. Mine operators have generally ceased surface mining in the mountainous areas of Balzania because reclamation costs per ton of coal produced are particularly high for mines in such areas.
D. Even after Balzania began requiring surface mine operators to pay reclamation costs, surface mines continued to produce coal at a lower total cost than underground mines.
E. As compared to twenty years ago, a greater percentage of the coal mined in Balzania today comes from surface mines
Answer:
A. Even after Balzania began requiring surface mine operators to pay reclamation costs, coal mines in Balzania continued to be less expensive to operate than coal mines in almost any other country.
Explanation:
What is true about the information provided in the scenario in relation to accounting for the drop in reclamation costs described is that: Even after Balzania began requiring surface mine operators to pay reclamation costs, coal mines in Balzania continued to be less expensive to operate than coal mines in almost any other country.
It was stated in the scenario that, ''Twenty years ago, Balzania put in place regulations requiring operators of surface mines to pay for the reclamation of mined-out land, Yet, the average reclamation cost for a surface coal mine being reclaimed today is only four dollars per ton of coal that the mine produced, less than half what it cost to reclaim surface mines in the years immediately after the regulations took effect''
Hence, the cost in Balzania is lower than the costs elsewhere which implies that the products will be heaper in Balzania due to lower operating costs
Answer:
C) Mine operators have generally ceased surface mining in the mountainous areas of Balzania because reclamation costs per ton of coal produced are particularly high for mines in such areas.
Explanation:
Reclamation costs refer to the costs of turning previously mined-out land into productive land. The cost of land reclamation has dropped significantly in Balzania and only two options can account for this lower cost:
Reclamation technology improved and therefore operating costs have decreased. But this option is false, as stated by the question. Areas where reclamation costs are high have not been mined anymore. Since this is the only option left, we must assume it is true.It is appropriate to use the fixed assets turnover ratio to appraise firms' effectiveness in managing their fixed assets if and only all the firms being compared have the same proportion of fixed assets to total assets.a) trueb) false
Answer:
False
Explanation:
fixed assets turnover ratio = net sales / average fixed assets
This ration measures how effectively a company uses its fixed assets to generate sales. If a company's fixed assets turnover ratio is higher than the industry average, it means that it is using its assets more efficiently to generate more sales or it is working at an over capacity, and it needs to add more fixed assets.
A company owns land that is used as a softball diamond and recreational park for hosting employee picnics. Once a year the company also allows a non-profit organization to hold a softball game on these premises. During this year's softball game, the director of the non-profit was injured when a softball hit him in the head. He asked the company that owns the land to pay for his trip to the emergency room. What is the company's unendorsed Commercial General Liability policy?
Answer:
Commercial General Liability Policy will not provide compensation for injured caused by softball to the Director
Explanation:
Commercial General Liability (CGL) is an insurance policy that provide protection and assurance to a business organisation against any legal liability arising from the use of its property, while in the premises of the insured, from use of product.
The Commercial General Liability provides the coverage below:
-Liability arising from Bodily injury and property damage
-Liability arising from Personal and advertising injury and Medical payments
In this director scenario, the CGL have in its provision and condition to provide compensation for the injury caused as a result of their actions (e.g. building collapse, left broken bottles, bad product which directly affected third party) but the director was injured by his own accompanied property and have no relation whatsoever with the Land company. Hence no indemnity or compensation will be provided under the Commercial General Liability Policy.

Aggressive sales tactics are getting a bad rap.
Slovenian, greedy, pushy vendor myth is often blamed on you. It is clear that certain sales representatives have undoubtedly overloaded the company in the past with aggressive marketing tactics, but this does not mean these closing techniques should be shunned permanently.
Currently, in 21st century marketing there is always a space for them. You just have to learn where and when to use them. You must remember that in all circumstances they are not ideal, but in the right context, they could be useful to the right buyer. You will certainly compound your selling advantage if you are in a hurry to sell and use these strategies at the wrong time, or on a wrong decision-maker.

Explanation:
Internalizing the externality means transferring the burden or the cost of a negative externality (like pollution or traffic congestion) to inside(i.e external to internal).
Internalization of externality can be done through taxes, property rights, tolls, and government subsidies.The only way of correcting an externalities is to "internalize" the third party cost involved but this market -driven approach is not feasible if the true monetary values cannot be determined.

Assume Sarah has owned an EE bond for 3 years. The fixed rate of interest is 8% and the current value of the bond is $4500. If Sarah were to cash in the bond tomorrow, how much interest will she lose (approximately) as a penalty
Final answer:
If Sarah cashes in her EE bond early, she would lose the last three months of interest as a penalty. At an 8% annual interest rate on a bond value of $4500, this would amount to approximately $90 of lost interest.
Explanation:
Assuming Sarah has owned an EE bond with an 8% fixed rate of interest for 3 years and its current value is $4500, we need to determine the penalty she would incur if she cashes it in early. EE Bonds have a penalty for cashing them in before they are 5 years old, typically losing the last 3 months of interest. To calculate the lost interest as a penalty, we can use the annual interest rate to find the quarterly interest. First, find the annual interest by applying the interest rate to the current value of the bond: $4500 × 0.08 = $360. Since the interest is compounded annually, quarter of this would be $360 / 4 = $90. This is the amount of interest Sarah would lose if she cashes in the bond tomorrow.
Suppose you are in charge of sales at a pharmaceutical company, and your firm has a new drug that causes bald men to grow hair. Assume that the company wants to earn as much revenue as possible from this drug. If the elasticity of demand for your company's product at the current price is 1.4, would you advise the company to raise the price, lower the price, or keep the price the same?
Answer: Lower the price
Explanation:
The price elasticity of demand measures the sensitivity of the quantity demanded of a good. Also note that when Price elasticity of demand exceeds 1, the demand is elastic. And an elastic demand is when price or other factors have a huge effect on the amount consumers want to purchase . It states that the quantity purchased has an inverse relationship with price. When prices rise, people will buy less. The elasticity of demand tells you how much the amount purchased decreases when the price increases.

What is a sunk cost?An investment that has already been made but cannot be recouped is referred to as a sunk cost, also known as a retrospective cost. Opportunity costs, in contrast, represent the profits lost from resources that were invested somewhere else.
Sunk costs in company include things like marketing, research, installing new software or equipment, paying for workers and benefits, or paying for facilities.
According to economists, sunk costs should not, in theory, be considered while making decisions in the future. But in reality, sunk costs can and frequently do have a big impact on future choices.
This is largely due to the psychological difficulty of letting go of previously used time, effort, or money, even when the results did not live up to expectations.
The sunk cost fallacy occurs because our emotions frequently lead us to stray from sensible conclusions, according to the Decision Lab, a behavioral-science based research organization focusing on improving decision-making.

Suppose that a country experiences growth strongly biased toward its export, cloth, Group of answer choices this will tend to improve the country's terms of trade. this will tend to worsen the terms of trade for the country's trading partner. this will tend to worsen the country's terms of trade. this will increase the price of cloth relative to the imported good. this will tend to leave the country's terms of trade unchanged.
Answer:
this will tend to worsen the country's terms of trade.
Explanation:
We can imagine a country C whose main export is cloth. Currently country C is gaining from its trade because its opportunity cost of producing cloth is very low.
Since the country's economy is growing strongly because its cloth exports re growing, this will appreciate the country's currency. As the country's currency appreciates, is domestic cost of producing cloth will get closer to the world price of cloth.
This will result in an increase in the cost of exports and a decrease in the price of imports, which will end up hurting the country's economy and it will weaken its trade position.
Something similar happens to countries that rely heavily on exporting commodities. The country's economy grows, but the other industries suffer and eventually the cost of producing commodities increases, and the benefits gained from exports decrease. E.g. during several years Argentina's economy grew strongly solely based on exporting agricultural products. Soon inflation started to rise and the costs of producing agricultural products increased, lowering the gains of trade. Since the rest of the economy relied on the benefits generated by exporting soybean oil, corn and other byproducts, when those benefits decreased, the whole economy collapsed. It was like a giant exporting bubble.
Growth biased toward a country's cloth export can lead to improved terms of trade if international demand increases sufficiently due to the cheaper export prices. The correct answer is E. This will tend to leave the country's terms of trade unchanged.
When a country experiences growth strongly biased toward its export, in this case, cloth, several outcomes are possible in terms of international trade dynamics and terms of trade effects. If the improvement in the country's cloth production leads to a significant price drop, the demand in the international market may increase, resulting in a rise of the country's terms of trade, which is the price of its exports relative to imports.
Should the demand increase in greater proportion to the decrease in price, the country may see a more favorable balance as it earns more from cloth exports, raising domestic prices, including cloth. Conversely, if the demand does not increase proportionally with the cheapening of cloth, the country might face a deficit in its balance of trade, leading to money outflow and reduced prices, including that of cloth.
Therefore, if the country's growth in cloth production leads to an improvement in its terms of trade, this would imply that exports are more valuable relative to imports, allowing the country to purchase more imported goods for a given amount of exports. Whether or not the trade terms for the country's trading partner worsen depends on the relative changes in mutual demand and price ratios.
Ultimately, focusing on export growth can lead to improved terms of trade for the exporting country if the global demand rises sufficiently in response to lower export prices. It could also cause a rise in the price of cloth relative to the imported good or leave the terms of trade unchanged if there is no significant change in the demand.
Question:
"Suppose that a country experiences growth strongly biased toward its exports, specifically cloth. Which of the following statements is most likely true?
This will tend to improve the country's terms of trade.
This will tend to worsen the terms of trade for the country's trading partner.
This will tend to worsen the country's terms of trade.
This will increase the price of cloth relative to the imported good.
This will tend to leave the country's terms of trade unchanged."

A. The greater of future undiscounted cash flows or future discounted cash flows.
B. The greater of future discounted cash flows or fair value.
C. The greater of fair value less cost to sell or value in use.
D. The greater of fair value or value in use.
Answer:
Option C. The greater of fair value less cost to sell or value in use.

Goodwill recovery differs between GAAP and tax rules in that GAAP requires corporations to (amortize/impair) goodwill whereas tax law requires corporations to (amortize/impair) goodwill. True or false?
Answer:
Impair and Amortize respectively.
Explanation:
Goodwill is the excess of purchase price over the fair market value of a company’s net assets.
A challenge of goodwill accounting is that it's treated differently under tax accounting and another under GAAP accounting.
Any goodwill created in an acquisition structured as an asset sales is tax deductible and amortizable over 15 years along with other intangible assets that fall under IRC section 197.
Under GAAP accounting, goodwill is not amortized but rather tested annually for impairment regardless of whether the acquisition is an asset/338 or stock sale.

Suppose you could quantify the amount of satisfaction you receive from consuming ice cream in money terms. You might say, "I expect to get $3 worth of satisfaction from this ice cream cone." According to traditional economic theory, if the price of this ice cream cone were $3.05, would you buy one?
Answer:
No, since the marginal cost of consuming the ice cream cone is greater than the marginal benefit.
Explanation:
Marginal utility is the benefit that a consumer derives from consuming an extra unit of a product. To maximise satisfaction consumers tend to go for products that will give them high satisfaction at a low cost.
In the given scenario the cost of a unit of ice cream cone is $3.05, and the satisfaction or benefit is $3. The cost is higher than satisfaction gained. A consumer will not buy the ice cream under these conditions. They will rather look for an alternative that will give high satisfaction at low cost.
Firms will hire additional workers as long as the nominal wage: A. is less than the marginal product of labor. B. equals the marginal product of labor. C. is greater than the marginal product of labor. D. is less than the value of the marginal product of labor.
Answer:
D) is less than the value of the marginal product of labor.
Explanation:
As an economic principle, firms will maximize their profits when the marginal revenue they receive for selling a good or service equals the marginal costs of producing and selling that good or service.
The marginal product of labor equals the change in total output gained from adding one extra unit of labor. It basically measures how much value is added by each additional unit of labor. So a firm will hire additional workers as long as the revenue generated from their work is higher than their wage.
