No, because print publishers and Internet service providers are treated differently under the Communications Decency Act.

<h3>The Communications Decency Act's purpose is what?</h3>

The Communications Decency Act of 1995 amends the Communications Act of 1934 to forbid the use of any telecommunications device (now only the telephone) to irritate, abuse, threaten, or harass any recipient of such message.

Any person who sent "obscene or indecent" messages to a receiver under the age of 18 was in violation of the CDA. Additionally, it forbade the "knowing" exhibition of "patently objectionable" materials in a way that was "accessible" to individuals under the age of 18

<h3>The Communications Decency Act was unconstitutional for what reasons?</h3>

The federal Communications Decency Act (CDA) is an unlawful restraint on free speech, the Supreme Court declared in Reno v. ACLU in 1997. The precedent-setting decision confirmed the risks of banning what one judge referred to as "the most participative form of mass expression ever conceived."

Explanation:

Please find the complete question in the attached file.

for point a:  

Cost 365000  

Less: Salvage value 36000  

Depreciable cost 329000

Divide by Useful life 5

Annual Depreciation 65800

Depreciation expense 65800  

Accumulated Depreciation=(65800\times \frac{1}{4})+65800+65800= 148050

for point b:

Double declining balance rate =\frac{1}{5}\times 2= 40\%

Depreciation for 2019 =365000\times 40\%\times \frac{1}{4}=36500

Depreciation for 2020=(365000-36500)\times 40\%=131400

Depreciation expense for 2021 =(365000-36500-131400)\times 40\%= 78840

Depreciation expense 78840  

Accumulated Depreciation =36500+131400+78840 =246740

boyakko [2]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

There is no federal law that requires that a manager give an employee days off due to religious reasons. Therefore in this scenario, the manager should investigate the situation further. If the manager finds out that the employee is taking advantage of the manager's generosity and lying then they should get reprimanded for doing so. Otherwise, the employee can have their day off as they asked.

Westkost [7]

Answer:

High prices of products as well as increases poverty.  

Explanation:

The stock market declines sharply, reducing consumers’ wealth that leads to high prices of products as well as increases poverty.  The federal government increases spending on national defense that decreases the foreign reserves and money for other fields of the country. A technological improvement raises productivity which increases the economy of the country as well as standard of living. A recession overseas causes foreigners to buy fewer U.S. goods that leads to lower income of the country and purchasing power of the country. Due to this, there is less money for other fields and institutions.

Madison Company owned an asset that had cost $44,000. The company sold the asset on January 1, 2016 for $16,000. Accumulated dep
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

A. A $16,000 cash inflow in the investing activities section of the cash flow statement.

Explanation:

The gain on sale of asset is,

Gain on disposal = Selling price - Net Book value of asset

Gain on disposal = 16000 - (44000 - 32000) = $4000

However, this gain is a non cash item as it is only reported on the books and there is no cash inflow or outflow that relates to this gain. Thus, option C and D become invalid as there is no cash related to this disposal gain as it is merely a book item.

A sale of asset doesnot increase but rather decrease total assets so option B become invalid. The correct answer is A as the asset is being sold for 16000 thus a cash inflow of 16000 is taking place.
