Answer:

a. $2,700

b. $0

Explanation:

a. $2,700

The $5,000 gambling losses will not be deducted.

The transportation costs will not be deducted because it is his personal expenses.

Deductibles will include his investment fees  of $2,000 and tax return fees of $1,500 and the total  sum of fees must fall below 2% of his Adjusted Gross Income before any deduction can be computed.

=(2% x $40,000) = $800

=$2,000 + $1,500 – $800 = $2,700

b. $0

The $5,000 gambling losses will not be deducted.

The transportation costs will not be deducted because it is his personal expenses.

Deductibles will include his investment fees  of $2,000 and tax return fees of $1,500 and the total  sum of fees must fall below 2% of his  Adjusted Gross Income.

=(2% x $200,000) = $4,000

=$2,000 + $1,500 = $3,500

Note - The However, because the 2% AGI (2% x $200,000 AGI = $4,000) exceeds the sum of the broker management fees ($2,000) and the tax return fees ($1,500). He won't deduct anything

Brut [27]

Answer: behaviours

Explanation: An employee's behaviour is how they react to a certain circumstance in the work environment. This behaviour can be internally driven or can be adopted from external situations. This scenario depicts an external situation, as Jan based her movements on her how her employees operate. Jan decided that she will not speak to her coworkers, merely because she noticed that no else in the office does. And because she didn't want to stand out or seem different, she applied that same behaviour. This is a form of conformity, which is when someone adopts the beliefs, behaviours or norms of a group, in order to fit in with them.

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

$27

Explanation:

Giving that the most important(all in actuality) values related to the question are not listed, I'd do well to improvise and assume. And as such, I have these

I'm assuming that the minimum payment on a credit card is the greater of $27 or 3% of the unpaid balance. And thereafter, proceeding to find the minimum payment on an unpaid balance of about $815.69.

To do this, we use simple arithmetic to first find the value of the percentage in dollars, so that

3% of $815.69 = 3/100 * 815.69 = $24.471

Remember that drum the question, the minimum payment is greater than 3% of the unpaid balance or $27. Given than 24.47 is less than 27, our answer is $27
