Answer:

a. "Not deductible"

b. "Not deductible"

c. "Not deductible"

d. "Deductible"

e. "Not deductible"

f. "Not deductible"

Explanation:

Expenses to be deductible ( especially for tax purposes) must pass the WREN test where;

W stands for wholly

R stands for reasonably

E stands for exclusively

N stands for necessarily

Looking at the expenses incurred and paid for by Doug during the year, the $50 ticket for running a red light is not a necessary expense as an adherence to traffic signs would have prevented such an expense. it can also be said that the expense was not reasonably incurred. This also applies to options b and c. Parking at the handicapped space is completely avoidable (necessity test) and as such the $100 would not have been incurred. While the $200 paid to the attorney for representation in court is an offshoot of options a and b. This would not have been incurred if the first two incidences were avoided.

Option c is deductible as the $500 paid is wholly for the business, reasonable,  exclusive and necessary. As such, the expense is deductible or allowable. Options e and f are not related to business and are incurred on personal grounds which are avoidable hence, these expenses would not pass the WREN test.

In the middle of the fourteenth century, an epidemic known as the Black Death killed a third of Europe’s population, about 34 mi
9966 [12]

Answer:

The black death epidemic resulted to death about 34 million European, left more job vacant. This was becuase many workers died while the jobs the were working on as at that time remained almost unchanged. The remained workers after the black death demanded for rise in wages, although the lords stood against the demand.

Explanation:

Although worker population decreased because of the plague, the amount of land and the tools did not change much. Some farm animals died when the people who took care of them died. Because the remaining workers had more tools and land to work, they became more productive, producing more goods and services. When workers are more productive, employers are willing to pay higher wages. The Statute of Laborers and similar laws in other countries were not very effective. Some lords avoided violating the statute by making “in kind” pay-ments—paying workers with food or other goods rather than wages—or providing other “fringe benefi ts.” Some lords began to pay illegally high wages. Wages increased because there were fewer workers—labor had become more scarce

The following inventory information was taken from the records of Kleinfeld Inc.: Historical cost $12,000 Replacement cost $7,00
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

the inventory should be recorded at $8,500

Explanation:

As we know that according to GAAP, the inventory should be recorded at a cost or net realizable value whichever is lower

So as per the question

Historical cost is $12,000

And, the net realizable value is

= Expected selling price - expected selling cost

= $9,000 - $500

= $8,500

So, the lower cost is $8,500

Hence, the inventory should be recorded at $8,500

When Whitney took over her father's sporting goods store, she evaluated some of her father's vendor relationships. She found tha
kolezko [41]

Answer:

The answer is D. Open communication is key in building lasting relationships whether in business or in personal relationships.

Explanation:

For two companies to maintain a strategic relationship, there must be open communication.  Whitney displayed correct understanding of this ingredient for strategic relationships.

That was why she was open enough to work out a more amicable relationship with Rodney.  She discussed her sales goals and new ideas for the business.  On Rodney's part, he showed no interest.  He was not ready to discuss his own sales goals.

Rodney lost a golden opportunity offered by Whitney by opening up communication.  He should have embraced the chance to bring up his concerns and discuss his goals openly, unless he is hiding something.  He could be deliberately overcharging on price.  These comments remain mere guesses as Rodney failed to open up.
