xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Bob Katz and Sally Mander

Taxable Income for 2018:

= $78,200

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Total wages = $102,400

Gain from sale of stock = 5,200

Interest income = 100

Total income = $107,700

less total deductions = (29,500)

Taxable Income = $78,200

b) Bob Katz and Sally Mander will have taxable income of $78,200 when the appropriate rate of tax is applied and the tax liability obtained, then the $1,500 tax credit will be deducted before arriving at the tax liability due.

c) The short-term capital gain of $5,200 is taxed as ordinary income. Since it is held for less than a year, it will be included in the taxable income for that year and it follows the same tax brackets as ordinary income. On the other hand, the long-term capital gain of $13,000 will attract a tax rate of 0 percent for a taxable income of $78,200. Otherwise, it will attract a tax rate of 15 percent or 20 percent, depending on income level. This means that long-term capital gains tax rates are much lower than the ordinary income tax rate.

Using the intuitive least cost method for the given transportation problem, answer the following: Cleveland Dayton Erie Supply A

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

The demand location where demand is unmet is equal to Cleveland. Received only 75 units. 100 units demand is unmet.

Explanation:

Solution

From the example given, we solve for which demand location will have an unmet demand

Now,

The maximum quantity that can be shipped from Allentown to Erie is 100.

The Maximum quantity that can be shipped from Harrisburg to Cleveland is 175

While,

The Maximum quantity that can be shipped from Harrisburg to Dayton is 175

Hence, in case we want an solution optimum to get the required demand as many as possible with the supply given and with a low costs, then we need to find the optimum solution.

By applying a least cost method called greedy, we need to remove our least costing node and then provide minimum of demand and supply unit a present to each cell.

Thus,

The first least cost is Allentown to Dayton.

From Allentown to Dayton 100 units. Next least cost is Philadelphia to Erie.

From Philadelphia to Erie 150 units. Next least cost is Harrisburg to Erie.

From Harrisburg to Erie 25 units. Next least cost is Harrisburg to Dayton.

From Harrisburg to Dayton 75 units. Next least cost is Harrisburg to Cleveland

From Harrisburg to Cleveland 75 units.

So, for the optimum solution, the right choice of answer will be

From Allentown to Erie = 0 units

From Harrisburg to Cleveland = 75 units

From Harrisburg to Dayton = 75 units

Therefore, The demand location where demand is unmet is equal to Cleveland. Received only 75 units. 100 units demand is unmet.

Sarah's house caught on fire. Through the prompt assistance of her neighbor Odessa, the fire was quickly extinguished. In gratit

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

To enforce this promise we need to analyse whether there has been any agreement or contract between Sarah and Odessa and whether the same can be enforced.

Explanation:

In Sarah's case, her offer to gratuitously pay the neighbor for assisting in the house fire is not an enforceable contract. When the neighbor rushed to help in the fire, the offer to pay $1,000 had not yet been extended. When Sarah did extend the offer to pay $1,000, there was no consideration exchanged between both parties. The consideration, putting out the fire, had already occurred without the offer or acceptance of a contract.

Consider an alternate scenario. Sarah's house was on fire, and she could not wait for the fire department. She ran to her neighbor's house, begged for help, and offered $1,000 in exchange for neighbor's assistance. After hearing Sarah's plea, the neighbor agrees to assist in extinguishing the fire. This constitutes a contract; an offer, consideration, and acceptance.
