Answer:

Option A. MDC should bring a lawsuit against "John Doe" and use the authority of the court to obtain the identity from NuView.

Explanation:

A statement is considered defamatory if it tends to harm the reputation of a person or company such that it lowers that person or company in the eyes of the community or deters third persons from dealing with the person or company.

This would include statements that expose the subject to hatred, ridicule or contempt or reflect unfavorably on the personal morality or integrity.

In this case of defamatory statements about MDC, MDC should first find out if the statements are actionable or not under law, then file a lawsuit against "John Doe" (an anonymous party, typically the plaintiff, in a legal action). If it is, NuView will be made to give the identity of the anonymous poster through the authority of the court.

Therefore, the option that best suits the question is option A. MDC SHOULD BRING A LAWSUIT AGAINST "JOHN DOE" AND USE THE AUTHORITY OF THE COURT TO OBTAIN THE IDENTITY FROM NuView.

Answer:

1 and a half months worth of depreciation

Explanation:

The advantage of starting to depreciate an asset purchased on December is that next year you will be able to depreciate it for a full year under MACRS.  Generally, when you purchase an asset, you have to use the half year convention and your depreciation expense for the first year will be low compared to the second year. But if you start depreciating your asset in the current year, even if you purchased it on December and the depreciation expense is not that significant, the next year you will be able to depreciate it at the second year rate.
