The two sentences meant to persuade are the following: "This is something no other computer can do at present. This is the best buy on the market." These two sentences definitely compel the customers to buy or at least want to buy the item. The other sentences merely provide information to the customers but aren't decisive or directly decisive in the buyer's decision making.

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

D) $3,000 deduction against ordinary income with a $5,000 capital loss carried forward to offset income for next year

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as it does not include the options. The complete question is therefore presented before answering the questions follows:

Nancy sold three capital assets that were held for investment. She sold stock in ABC Corporation for a gain of $10,000; stock in XYZ Corporation for a gain of $2,000; and corporate bonds for a loss of $20,000. Assuming all of the investments had a long-term holding period, how will the transactions be treated for tax purposes?

A) Gain of $12,000 taxed at 15% and a loss of $20,000 deductible against ordinary income

B) Net loss of $8,000 that is fully deductible against ordinary income in the current year

C) Net loss of $8,000 that results in no deduction in the current year, but can be carried forward to offset capital gains for the next year

D) $3,000 deduction against ordinary income with a $5,000 capital loss carried forward to offset income for next year

The explanation to the answer is therefore presented as follows:

The first step is to compute the net capital gain (loss) is as follows:

Particulars                                                                            $  

Gain from the sale of stock in ABC Corporation          10,000

Gain from the sale of stock in XYZ Corporation            2,000

Loss from the sale of corporate bonds                     <u>  (20,000)  </u>

Net capital gain (loss)                                              <u>     (8,000)  </u>

In the US, individuals are allowed to use up to $3,000 to reduce their taxable income in the first year of the loss, while the remaining capital losses will be carried over to the next years.

From the net capital gain computed above, the correct option is D. That is, the $8,000 loss will be treated for tax purposes as a $3,000 deduction against ordinary income in the current year with the remaining $5,000 capital loss carried forward to offset income for next year.

The Chief Information Officer (CIO) and the Managing Director (MD) of Illustrious Limited recently had the following conversatio
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Illustrious Limited

a) I sympathize with the MD.  He noted "We have been through these types of projects before, and what always ends up happening is that we do not get the new system we are promised. Instead, we get a modified version of the old system."  The implication of his assertion is that something is missing in the way the CIO and her team had been handling system development projects in the past.  Even the CIO acknowledged the MD's assertions by assuring "that this will not happen this time."  In the past, the system development team had neglected understanding "what is working well and what is not."  This should not be the case in any good system development.  Preliminary analysis or investigation should uncover users' requirements and then conduct a thorough system analysis before the design and other stages are carried out in an iterative process.

b) I would recommend SCRUM instead of the Waterfall methodology.  With Scrum, the system development project is teamwork.   The team is held accountable and SCRUM utilizes iteration to achieve well-defined goals.  The SCRUM framework "begins with a simple premise, starting with what can be seen or known before it tracks progress and tweaks as necessary," to achieve set goals defined by users' requirements.

Explanation:

a) System Development is a process that follows a system development life cycle (SDLC) methodology and involves these seven stages: requirement analysis, system analysis, system design, development or programming, testing, implementation and documentation, and evaluation and support.

b) SCRUM is a framework in SDLC which follows "a set of meetings, tools, and roles that work in concert to help teams structure and manage their work."  SCRUM has been described as "an agile way to manage a project," especially software development because of its "iterative and flexible approaches."

c)  Waterfall model, on the other hand, follows linear sequential phases of conception, initiation, analysis, design, construction, testing, deployment, and maintenance, and each stage depends on the deliverables of the previous stage.  This is why "in software development, it tends to be among the less iterative and flexible approaches, as progress flows in largely one direction ("downwards" like a waterfall) through the phases."

Inga [223]

Answer: d. 30%

Explanation:

Global brands are companies that have achieved international success such that they are recognised in many other countries apart from their own and have many customers in other countries as well.

However, simply being known abroad does not classify a company as a global brand. The company must be generating sufficient revenue from their operations outside as a proportion of their total revenue their home country with sufficient meaning at least 30% of their revenue.

Whenever real GDPLOADING... ​declines, nominal GDPLOADING... must also​ decline."
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

Real GDP is the inflation-adjusted measure of economic growth. It measures the change in output level at a constant price. It measures changes in economic output.

Nominal GDP measures change in output level based on current prices. It is not an inflation-adjusted measure of economic growth.

Real GDP changes with a change in output level. While nominal GDP can change with change in either output level or price. So it is not necessary that a decline in real GDP is accompanied by a decline in nominal GDP.

A data safety monitoring board report for an investigator-initiated investigational drug study indicates a significantly higher
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

This can be classified as an unanticipated problem.

Explanation:

During an investigational drug study the rate of risk of expected adverse events is indicated to be greater than what was initially expected. The current subjects need to be reconsented and the consent form needs to be updated to include this higher rate

Since the rate of an expected adverse event is greater than what was anticipated in the beginning and puts subjects and others at risk, this poses an unanticipated problem.
