Answer:

True

Explanation:

According to the IRS, nonbusiness bad debts are debts that don't fall into any of these three categories:

  1. Loans to clients, suppliers, distributors, and employees
  2. Credit sales to customers, or
  3. Business loan guarantees

In order for a nonbusiness bad debt to be deductible, it has to be worthless. Nonbusiness bad debts cannot be deducted partially unlike business bad debts. They are deducted as short-term capital losses.

In this case if the taxpayer was able to collect his nonbusiness bad debt then there is nothing to be deducted. The taxpayer must include both the $8,000 (short-term capital gain) and the $35,000 (taxable income) in his gross income.

If the current asset has been decreased and the current liabilities has been increased then the answer would be higher than before.

The current ratio tells the same and the only difference written above and in current ratio is that the above mentioned Answer is conceptual based whereas current ratio uses numerical values of current assets and current liabilities written in the balance sheet.

Current ratio tells us that whether or not the company is able to meet its short term liabilities (Current Liabilities) using its short term asset (Current Assets).

Remember that the current assets are the assets that are convertible to cash within next 12 months. Whereas current liabilities are the liabilities which we have to pay in cash within the next 12 months.

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

E=-4.0746

Explanation:

Using the midpoint method, Lauren's income elasticity of demand for new outfits is determined by the change in income multiplied by the average number of outfits, divided by the change in the number of outfits multiplied by the average income:

E=\frac{\Delta I*O_{avg}}{\Delta O*I_{avg}}\\E=\frac{(37,000-30,000)*\frac{20+19}{2}}{(19-20)*\frac{37,000+30,000}{2}}\\E=-4.0746

Her income elasticity of demand for new outfits is -4.0746.
