Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

An interior decorator has moved his business from Los Angeles to St. Paul, Minnesota because his spouse's company transferred her to St. Paul.

The decorator is distressed because the customers in his target market have, in his words, "banal and bourgeois taste."

The customers in St. Paul have a different taste from the customers that he catered to in Los Angeles. The consumer tastes and preferences may differ from place to place according to the climatic conditions, social status, cultures, etc.

The problem with the decorator is that he does not understands that customer needs are not right or wrong, good or bad. It is not right or wrong if the customers in Minnesota have a different preference from customers in Los Angeles.

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The answer is A) $2,000

Explanation:

According to the IRS Publication 525 (2018), Taxable and Nontaxable Income

<em>"</em><em><u>If you receive tangible personal property (other than cash, a gift certificate, or an equivalent item) as an award for length of service</u></em><em> or safety achievement, you generally can </em><em><u>exclude its value from your income</u></em><em>. However, the amount you can exclude is limited to your employer's cost and </em><em><u>can’t be more than $1,600</u></em><em> ($400 for awards that aren’t qualified plan awards) for all such awards you receive during the year. Your employer can tell you whether your award is a qualified plan award. Your employer must make the award as part of a meaningful presentation, under conditions and circumstances that don’t create a significant likelihood of it being disguised pay." </em>

Ed has to include the $2,000 he received as income but the $250 watch can be excluded.
