Answer:

Basis in the tractor 78.000 and new trailer basis 30.000

Explanation:

The adjusted basis is referred to as the cost basis of the assets as reduced by  the cost recovery amount including the depreciation at the point of sale. Alternatively, the adjusted basis can be termed as the unrealized cost basis of the assets. The formula for the adjusted basis is:

Adjusted basis = cost basis - Cost recovery deductions

The adjusted basis for B's tractor and trailer is calculated as follows:

Adjusted basis for tractor = Cost of tractor

=102.000 - 24.000

=78.000

Adjusted basis for new trailer = Cost of trailer

=30.000

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Theory X

Explanation:

It is correct to say that this manager is using the management approach known as theory X, which is a philosophy that says employees work only for the benefits they receive, and that they avoid job responsibilities, so management must be inflexible and follow the hierarchy of functions, with the manager being responsible for a high degree of supervision of the work and the responsibility of the employee for any error.

Theory X may not be ideal for the current administration, where the focus of organizations are people and the formation of a culture focused on innovation and collaboration.

Vaselesa [24]

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

a)  51% of users of mobile phones use their phone at least once per hour,

It is a binomial distribution with n = 150, p = 0.51

mean = np = 150 multiply with 0.51 = 76.5

SD= sqrt(np(1-p) )= 6.1225

Since np and n(1-p) > 5, we can assume the distribution is normal.

B) please see the attached file.

c)  It is a binomial distribution with n = 150, p = 0.02

mean = np = 150*0.02 = 3

SD= sqrt(np(1-p) )= 1.71464

Since np < 5, we cannot assume the distribution is normal.

If the consumption of a good generates positive externalities, then which of the following is correct? The government can subsid
vekshin1

Answer:

Both of these answers are correct.

Explanation:

Positive externality is when the benefits of economic activities to third parties exceeds its cost.

Activities that generate positive externality are

1. Education

2. Research and development

To encourage activities that have positive externality, government can subsidise such activities. Subsidies makes the activity cheaper and incentivise people to carry out such activities.

Market forces may lead to an underallocation of resources to producing the good. Therefore, the government might intervene in the allocation of the resources to increase efficiency.

I hope my answer helps you.

The financial statements of Weston Office Supply include the following​ items:20172016Cash​ $43,500​ $50,000Shortminus−term Inve
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

The current ratio is 1.18 times

Explanation:

Current Ratio: The current ratio is that ratio which shows a relationship between the current assets and the current liabilities

The computation of the current ratio is shown below

Current ratio = Total Current assets ÷ total current liabilities

where,

Total current assets = Cash + short-term investments + net accounts receivable + merchandise inventory

=  $43,500 + $27,000 + $102,000 + $125,000

= $297,500

And, the total current liabilities is $251,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the ratio would equal to

= $297,500 ÷ $251,000

= 1.18 times

The long term note payable is not a current liabilities,hence it is not considered in the computation part.

Smith Company gives the following information on the financial statements: Net Income $50,000 Preferred Dividends 8,000 Average
ch4aika [34]

Answer: The rate of return on common stockholder’s equity is 23%.

Explanation:

Given that,

Net Income = $50,000

Preferred Dividends = 8,000

Average Common Stockholder’s Equity = 180,000

Average number of Common Shares Outstanding = 250,000 shares

Market Price = $2 per share

Therefore,

Return on equity = \frac{Net\ income - Preferred\ Dividends}{stockholder\ equity}

=  \frac{50000 - 8000}{180000}

= 23%
