According to the case, the use of Ph.D. on the ads for hair care products by John Smith is considered an example of the fallacy of inappropriate expertise.

The provided statement is true.

<h3>What is a fallacy?</h3>

A fallacy is an unlawful statement that is used by someone in stating any reasoning or argument which can even be harmful to society.

In the given case, John is having Ph.D. degree in the archaeology field, and his attempt to use the word Ph.D. on the haircare goods marketed by him would be a fallacy in respect of inappropriate expertise. The fallacy could be the use of the Ph.D. word on ads and the inappropriate expertise is that he doesn't have any knowledge regarding skincare and dermatology area.

Therefore, this may create a harmful effect on the individuals who are buying them as it is not authorized by a dermatologist.

4,000 shares Green Co. 06/04/07 08/05/19       12,000              3,000

500 shares Gold Co.        02/12/17 09/05/19      54,000            62,000

5,000 shares Blue Co.   02/04/08  10/08/19       18,000            22,000

100 shares Orange Co.     11/15/18   07/12/19       19,000            18,000

Total                                                                   $103,000       $105,000

Short-term capital gain = $1,000

Net capital loss =            $2,000 ($3,000 - $1,000)

Suppose the economies of China and India have begun to slow down very rapidly. Based on this scenario
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The correct answer is C

Explanation:

Economies means the state of the region or the country in relation to the consumption and the production of the services and the goods and also the supply of the money.

If the economies of the India and the China, will be slow down, then the loanable funds as well as the interest rates will increase because the money for liquidity will be negligible which lead to competition among using the money for personal consumption or to delay the consumption through lending the money out.

Lauren plans to deposit $5000 into a bank account at the beginning of next month and $175/month into the same account at the end
Serhud [2]

Answer:

$12,053.86

Explanation:

The easiest way to calculate this is using an excel spreadsheet and the future value function. Using the FV function =FV(rate,nper,pmt)

  • rate = 3%/12 = 0.25%
  • nper = 36
  • pmt = 175

This function will give us the future value of the annuity =FV(0.25%,36,175) = $6,583.60

Now we must add the future value of the original $5,000:

future value = $5,000 x (1 + 0.0025)³⁶ = $5,470.26

total future value = $6,583.60 + $5,470.26 = $12,053.86

if you do not want to use an excel spreadsheet, you can use the following formula:

F = P x ([1 + r]ⁿ - 1 )/r

F = 175 x [(1 + 0.0025)³⁶ - 1] / 0.0025 = $6,583.60

the answer will be the same

Sebastian purchases two pieces of equipment for $100,000. Appraisals of the equipment indicate that the fair market value of the
Schach [20]

Answer:

$100,000

Explanation:

According to the internal revenue service ''<u>In most situations, the basis of an asset is its cost to you.</u> <u>The cost is the amount you pay for it in cash</u>, debt obligations, and other property or services. Cost includes sales tax and other <u>expenses connected with the purchase</u>.''

Therefore Sebastian's basis in these two assets is unconnected with the fair market value of the assets but with the cost.

Purchased Equipment is always recorded at its acquisition cost or its net book value, that is after deducting the accumulated depreciation . In the scenario we have no depreciation figures, hence the basis is the cost of $100,000
