Answer:

The answer is option "D"

Explanation:

The suitability condition that broker-dealer firms have to adopt includes making investment recommendations on the basis of their applicability in terms of what the customer's profile is. To do this, the firm needs to have adequate and reasonable understanding of the customer, their needs, their risk profile, details of their other investments and their age among several other factors. Firms use these details and then perform their own research, or 'due diligence' to ensure that the recommendations made are appropriate in the customer's context. Options A and B pertain to this criteria and are therefore correct. Option C is also correct since, even if the investment recommendation is in line with the customer's profile, firms must still refrain from making trade recommendations that are excessive in size because they can, among other issues, raise the risk profile of the trade.

Now lets look at option D. Broker-dealers do rely on the customers providing customer specific information so that they can plan investment recommendations accordingly, however, this is not the only practice that is required. Firms need to conduct their own research and due diligence as well. Furthermore, customers may be unwilling to disclose certain information, for example, details of their other investments. In this case, firms need to be cautious and carefully analyse whether they have 'enough' customer specific information to be reasonably certain that the investment recommendation is appropriate. As long as enough information exists to form the reasonable basis, firms do not need to refrain from making recommendations.

Therefore, the correct option is D.

Arada [10]

Answer:

C. the Phillips curve is vertical

Explanation:

Philips Curve shows the inverse relationship between inflation rate & unemployment level. High inflation rate implies low unemployment rate; and low inflation rate implies high inflation rates. Economic growth (output rise) leads to inflation & reduces unemployment ; Economic slowdown (output fall) leads to deflation & increases  unemployment.  

However; In long run, real GDP (output level) returns to its potential​ level. So; output level defining the inverse relationship (trade off) between inflation rate & unemployment level, is stable. Hence, inflation rate & unemployment level have no inverse (trade off) relationship & they are unrelated. Therefore, the long run Phillips curve is vertical.

"Zurich Company reports pretax financial income of $70,000 for 2014. The following items cause taxable income to be different th
Ivan

Answer:

Explanation:

Income tax expense: The expense account that reveals the amount of pre-determined tax paid on income for a required period of time is known as income tax expense account. The following formula can be used to determine the income tax expense:

Income tax expense = (Income before tax\times Income tax rate

Income statement: This is the financial statement of a company which reports all the revenues that are earned and expenses that are to be expended by the company on the immediate accounting year. Income statement is also known profit and loss statement.

Rules for debit and credit:

  • When asset increases, debit it and when asset decreases, credit it.

  • When liabilities increase, credit it and when liabilities decrease, debit it.

  • When stockholders’ equity increases, credit it and when stockholders’ equity decreases, debit it.

  • When the expenses and losses increase, debit them and when the expenses and losses decrease, credit it.

  • When incomes and gains increase, credit them and when incomes and gains decrease debit them.

Earnings before tax: It is the revenue of a company before adjustment of tax. It consists of all operating expenses. It is the earning retained by the company.

1.) To calculate the taxable income and income tax payable:

    Particulars                              Current year      Deferred asset     Deferred liability

Financial income                            $70,000

Excess tax collected                      $16,000                                           $16,000

Excess rent collected                    $22,000              -$22,000

Fines (permanent)                          $11,000

Taxable income(IRS)                     $87,000              -$22,000            $16,000

Tax rate                                           30%                      30%                     30%

Income tax                                     $26,100               -$6,600              $4,800

Therefore, the taxable income is $87,000, and the income tax is $26,100 for current year.        

The taxable income is calculated by adding the income earned, which are eligible for taxation. The financial income is $70,000, the excess tax depreciation is $16,000 (which should be deducted), and the excess rent collected is $22,000. The fines are $11,000. It is taxable as it is permanent. Thus, the taxable income is $87,000. The tax rate is 30 percent. The taxable income should be multiplied with the tax rate. Thus, the taxable income is $26,100. It is income tax payable.

2.) To Prepare a journal entry to record income tax expense, deferred income taxes, and income tax payable for 2014.

Date      Account titles and ex[planations      Debit           Credit

2014      Income tax expense                          $24,300

             Deferred tax asset                             $6,600

             Deferred tax liability                                                  $4,800

             Income tax payable                                                  $26,100

Therefore, income tax expense is debited with $24,300, deferred tax asset is debited with $6,600, deferred tax liability is credited with $4,800, and the income tax payable is credited with $26,100.

It is given that the income tax expense, deferred income taxes, and income taxes payable should be recorded. The income tax expense is $24,300, deferred tax asset is $6,600, deferred liability is $4,800, and the income tax payable is $26,100. The income tax payable is calculated by adding the income tax expense to the deferred tax asset and deducting the obtained value from the liability. Thus, $24,300 is added to $6,600 and deducted by $4,800 and $26,100. Therefore, the income tax expense is debited with $24,300, deferred tax asset is debited with $6,600, deferred tax liability is credited with $4,800, and the income tax payable is credited with $26,100.

3.) To Prepare the income tax expense section of the income statement for 2014.

                                      Income Statement

Particulars                                             Amount       Amount

Income before taxes                                                 $70,000

Income tax expenses current             $26,100

Income tax expenses deferred          -$1,800         $24,300

Net income(loss)                                                       $45,700

It is given that the income before taxes is $70,000, income tax expense of current year is $26,100, and for the deferred year is $1,800. The net income tax expense is $24,300. The net income is calculated by deducting the income before taxes from the income tax expenses. Thus, $24,300 is deducted from $70,000. Therefore, the net income is $45,700.

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

The answer is: D) is a more convenient location to hold the trial.

Explanation:

A change of venue happens when a case is transferred from a court in one location to a court in a different location. It can be requested if it is convenient for the parties in a lawsuit.

In this case both Eduardo and Delia live in Georgia, so if a trial is held there, they would need to travel and probably hire local lawyers which can be time consuming and expensive.  Eduardo can argue that by holding the case in Georgia benefits both Delia and him.

How do you calculate the variable cost?
NikAS [45]

Calculate total variable cost by multiplying the cost to make one unit of your product by the number of products you've developed. For example, if it costs $60 to make one unit of your product, and you've made 20 units, your total variable cost is $60 x 20, or $1,200.

Hope this helps have a great day :)
