Hal Gore won a $2.1 million prize for special contributions to environmental research. This prize is awarded for public achievem
ent, and Hal directed the awarding organization to transfer $570,000 of the award to the Environmental Protection Agency. How much of the prize should Hal include in his gross income?
The reason is that the Environment Protection Agency is a qualified organization and donations made to qualified organization are allowable expense under the US tax rules, so the gross income will include a net amount which is the actual amount left for Hal Gore and which is $1.53 million ($2.1 m - 0.57).
The baby boomers could change the fashion industry as they transition to senior citizens because they could motivate designers to create products that meet their needs. For example, they might motivate shoe designers to design shoes that are similar to those worn by the younger generation but perhaps with more comfort and lower heels. Therefore, they will maintain their sense of fashion, but in a rather different manner.
Efficiency is so vital to business and manufacturing. The ability of a business to produce and curb minimal loss will give a boast on production and encourage manufacturers to do more, especially when they have the ability to produce in large quantity (by batches) and still get a good ratio for the number of goods manufactured. This is where machines has aided productivity, as they were introduced, productivity increased and they were minimal loss and time waste when producing. When technology allows for more of this effective machines, manufacturers will produce more and there would be a boast in investment.
