Answer:a. 1,800;

b. 1,200 ($1,800/$6,000 = 30%; $4,000 x .30 = $1,200);

c. 600 (30% x $2,000 = $600)

Explanation:

In tax accounting, adjusted basis refers to the original cost, or the net cost of an asset, after adjusting various tax-related items normally reduced by depreciation deductions.

Given:

Selling Price(S.P) = $6,000

Adjusted Basis (A.B) = $4200

The gain realized from the sale of the land would be:

= S.P - A.B = $(6,000-4200)= $1,800

Now, we calculate the percentage profit on gain realized to enable ease of gain calculation for fragmented payments.

The percentage gain (P.G) is:

(S.P-A.B)/S.P * 100 = (6,000-1,800)/6000 * 100

P.G = (1,800/6,000) * 100 = 30%

Therefore we say that:

Recognized Gain on current year = Amount paid * P.G = $(4,000*0.3) = $1,200

And

Recognized Gain next year = Amount paid * P.G = $(2,000 * 0.3) = $600

Note: P.G is percentage gain.

The larger a given sector's contribution to a country's GDP is, the larger the impact of a shock to that sector on GDP is.
Nikitich [7]

Answer: True

Explanation:

When a sector contributes a significant amount to GDP suffers a shock, the GDP of the nation will be shocked as well. Proportionally it goes that the greater the shock to the sector, the greater the shock to the GDP.

For instance, Agriculture contributes a significant amount to GDP. If a drought were to hit that reduced harvests by 50%, the GDP will suffer a huge shock as well because the contribution from Agriculture will be significantly less.

An individual who works at a bookstore routinely takes home ballpoint pens and post-it notes, uses the copy machine to make pers
Papessa [141]

This attitude is called cash register honesty.

The book store worker knows very well that ball point pens, post-its, copies on the copier machine and long-distance phone calls are office resources and should, in principle, be used only for office purposes.

He is also aware that the he is responsible for his own needs - be it post-its or long-distance phone calls.

By taking some small supplies home or using the office equipment for personal use (e.g. making personal copies or making personal long-distance phone calls), he increases the cost to the company.

Yet, he continues to indulge in the activities described in the question, because he believes, at a personal level, that he can get away with it . (It's okay with him at a personal level.)

However, since stealing from the cash register is not ok with him on a personal level, he doesn't do it even though he knows he can get away with it. This attitude is called cash register honesty.
