Answer:

d. a palter

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that Kant would call this misleading statement a palter. This term refers to a statement that has been made ambiguous in order to hide the truth from someone or in order to avoid committing yourself to something. Which in this scenario "You" are trying to hide the fact that Bill is playing "hooky" from your boss.

Answer:

D) a palter

Explanation:

Immanuel Kant was a German philosopher that proposed the doctrine of transcendental idealism. This doctrine states that as individuals we view objects and events not as they really are, but as they appear to us relative to our ideas or preconceptions. He proposed his categorical imperative which was that the truth should be told every time, no matter what.

A palter is an old word defined as a deliberate wrong response or act, given or made to confuse someone else.

In this case, you know Bill is not working and you also know that what he is doing is not right, but you choose to lie to your boss in an attempt to cover Bill's bad actions. Obviously the relationship with Bill is more important to you than what happens to your work (what affects a company, affects its employees and customers).

Explanation:

Outline is a type of table of content that helps a reader to understand the scenario of the overall article or piece. Making an effective outline is a challenging task. However, the following things certainly can make an effective outline.

Besides, moving sub-points to larger group or components make the article beautiful (Opposite of Option B). Do not separate the main topic from the title make an outline unclear (Opposite of Option D).

Crank

Answer:

The answer is: A) $0

Explanation:

I am assuming Stuart's stock is part of his retirement account. If this is true, then the stock dividends and stock splits are not taxed as they are earned (but they will be taxed later when Stuart starts receiving his distributions).

If Stuart's stock was not part of his retirement account, then he would have to pay taxes (usually a 15% tax rate applies).

xenn [34]
The gap of $1370 represents the amount of goods not yet delivered to the company. When a company purchases inventory, on the basis of the accrual principle in accounting, transactions are recorded as they occur even if the actual possession will take place eventually. In this case, the overall amount of merchandise bought is recorded in the company's books. After a physical count, we'll find out that the shrinkage represents stock that is yet to be delivered.
