Question Completion:
Each year, Tom and Cindy Bates (married filing jointly) report itemized deductions of $20,000 (which includes an annual $4,000 pledge payment to their church). Upon the advice of a friend, they do the following: In early January 2019, they pay their 2018 pledge; during 2019, they pay the 2019 pledge; and in late December 2019, they prepay their 2020 pledge. a. What are the Bateses trying to accomplish? To have their itemized deductions exceed the standard deduction . b. What would the Bates' total itemized deductions be if all three church pledge payments were made in 2019?
Answer:
The Bates' total itemized deductions would be $20,000 if all three church pledge payments were made in 2019 (including $12,000 for the three years in church pledges and another $8,000 for other deductions).
Explanation:
It is assumed that the Bates' Adjusted Gross Income for 2019 is within the range of $100,000 to $200,000, which enables them to make charitable contributions up to $4,155 per annum. Since taxation uses the cash basis, it is possible for the Bates to claim the $12,000 cash in pledges for the current year when payment is made in the year.
Answer:
The correct answer is option e.
Explanation:
The supply in the given example is assumed to be unchanged. Supply being constant an increase in demand will cause the demand curve to shift to the right. This rightward shift in the demand curve will intersect the supply curve at a higher point. This will cause an increase in the price as well as quantity of output in the market.
So, option e is the correct answer.

Answer:
This would be considered permissible corporate political speech.
Explanation:
In Citizens United v. FEC, the Supreme Court basically eliminated any limits on how much money corporations can spend in order to support or attack political candidates. Citizens United is a nonprofit organization that spent a lot of money supporting candidates, what we currently know as a Super PAC. Super PAC's do not have a limit on how much money they can collect and spend supporting candidates. As long as Blue Marbles doesn't coordinate their activities with any political candidate, they are allowed to support or attack anyone.
Answer:
The correct answer is D) Parent company dividends equal consolidated dividends.
Explanation:
When economic, financial and administrative links are created between two legally independent entities, where it presents a subordination relationship, a series of reports that integrate the financial statements must be prepared, consolidating those of one company with the other.
The consolidation of the balances between a parent and a subsidiary is achieved by integrating the accounts of each of them, eliminating accounts such as:
- The investment of the parent company in the subordinate.
- Accounts receivable generated by transactions between the parent and the subsidiary.
- Accounts payable generated by transactions between the parent and the subsidiary.
- Sales and purchases between companies.
- Dividends between the two companies.
- Earnings between entities in the initial or final inventory.
