Same as with Canada which is where both my grandfathers came from. Let's see how many reasons I can come up with just off the top of my head and just for those two.

  1. They enjoyed the freedom of the First Amendment (speech, press, religion, assembly -- Canada has the same provision) that was not granted in the country they left. They never exercised those rights, I don't think, but their children and grandchildren did.
  2. They were free to raise their children so that they had the chance of being productive. My father was an MD, but he owed that piece of good fortune to his father. The country from which they came would never have allowed him to get all that education.
  3. They were able to eventually bring their wives and children with them. There was enough money to be made, even at jobs that didn't pay much, to bring them across the Atlantic.
  4. They were able, once the families were here, to turn their attention to bettering their conditions. They never became rich, but no one starved either. That's more than could be said about those relatives who didn't do as they did.
  5. They were free to travel. They didn't do that, but their children and especially their grandchildren did. That too was very limited where they came from.
  6. They had medical care and good medical care which was not given to just anyone where they came from.

Assume that General Electric (GE)'s current assets are $401 billion, fixed assets are $797 billion, current liabilities are $323
notka56 [123]

Answer:

Answer is explained below in the explanation section.

Explanation:

Solution:

We can not solve this question as it lacks necessary data.

1. GE's Translation Exposure using current/noncurrent:

$401 billion - $401 billion = 0.

0 is the GE's translation exposure using current/noncurrent method.

2. Using Monetary/Non-monetary:

We can not calculate this requirement as we don't have the breakdown of GE's assets and liabilities under monetary/nonmonetary. So, it is not possible under the given information.

3. GE's Translation Exposure using Temporal method:

Again, we do lack necessary data to solve for this requirement. We need GE's breakdown of current assets and inventory and monetary assets to solve this question. Therefore, it is not possible to solve this question.

4. GE's Translation Exposure Using Current Rate methods:

GE's Exposure = (Current Assets + Fixed Assets) - Current Liabilities

GE's Exposure = ($401 billion + $797 billion) - $323 billion

GE's Exposure = ($1198 billion) - $323 billion

GE's Exposure = $875 billion

b. File Form 14039, Identity Theft Affidavit, with the IRS.

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>a. File his 2020 tax return, including the EIP on Form 1040, line 30, and wait for the IRS to fix the mistake.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

True. According to the information found on the IRS website concerning those who were eligible but didn't receive the Economic Impact Payment (EIP) during 2020, they are to fill the 2020 Form 1040 alongside submitting their tax returns for the year 2020.

Hence, Larry simply needs to file his 2020 tax return, including the EIP on Form 1040, line 30, and wait for the IRS to fix the mistake.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Explanation:

This discussion about organizations monitoring employee behavior can be related to ethical and unethical issues.

The ideal is for the company to have a set of well-defined policies and procedures with regard to the rights and duties of employees, as long as the policies have ethical and legal foundations, which guarantee the right to privacy and human integrity.

Therefore, the monitoring of the employee's behavior must always be related to their functions, and to the fulfillment of internal policies.
