The correct question is:
Analysts who follow Howe Industries recently noted that, relative to the previous year, the company's net cash provided from operations increased, yet cash as reported on the balance sheet decreased. Which of the following factors could explain this situation?
Select one:
a. The company cut its dividend.
b. The company made large investments in fixed assets.
c. The company sold a division and received cash in return.
d. The company issued new common stock.
e. The company issued new long-term debt.
Answer:
b. The company made large investments in fixed assets.
Explanation:
The operating cash if invested in fixed assets will increase cash flow in the business. Since the cash is not used in production within that period (was invested in long term asset), it will not be represented as cash flow for this period. So reported cash will be low.
Companies invest in long term assets that will produce returns in to future, so cash flow from this investment will appear at a future date.

False
Explanation:
Creative task performance represents the degree or extent to to which persons or employees come up with original, new and usual responses to task demands. That part of the question is true.
However, the false part is the unpredictability aspect because adaptive task performance is the type of performance which is also unusual, new and original but is at the very least unpredictable.
The question therefore combined the features of both creative and adaptive task performances. Therefore, the answer is false

Answer:
When a taxpayer has an underpayment of estimated tax or fall behind on his/her tax prepayment, then he/she is required to pay a penalty on Form 2210. This penalty is called underpayment penalty.
According to the tax laws, Mr. P and Ms. S can avoid an underpayment penalty if their withholding's and estimated tax payments equal or exceed one of the following two safe harbors:
- 90 percent of current tax liability ($200,000 x 90% = $180,000)
- 110 percent of previous year tax liability (110% x $170,000 = $187,000)
From the above calculation, it is clear that Mr. P and Ms. S's withholding's ($175,000) do not equal or exceed the amount of two safe harbors. So, they need to increase their withholding's or make estimated payments to avoid underpayment penalty.
If Mr. P and Ms. S increase their withholding's by $5,000 or make estimated payments of $1,250
per quarter ($5000/4), they can avoid the underpayment penalty.
Mr. Paula and Simon average gross income is greater than $150,000, so 110% is taken.
Answer:
The land basis will be $8,000 and partnership basis will be $42,000.
Explanation:
The outside basis at the end of the year is $56,000.
The cash basis is $6,000.
The fair value of land is $14,000.
The land basis to RF is $8000.
The partnership basis will be
=Outside basis-cash basis-land basis
=$(56,000-6,000-8,000)
=$42,000.
So, the land basis will be $8,000 and partnership basis will be $42,000.
