Answer:

<u>$1,300</u>

Explanation:

Only the cost that are directly related to the business conference is to be deducted as Melissa's business tax. Sightseeing cost is therefore not part of her original plan. The business related cost are therefore;

  • <u>$400 for round-trip airfare to San Francisco</u>
  • <u>  $250 fee to register for the conference,</u>
  • <u>  $300 per night for three night’s lodging,</u>
  • <u>  $200 for meals, and</u>
  • <u>  $150 for cab fare.</u>

A summation of this cost would give $1,300 as the amount of the total costs that can Melissa deduct as business expenses.

Answer:The business expenses $1,800, no expenses will be deducted for sightseeing since it is personal in nature, the expenses for sightseeing is $0

Explanation:

The amount deductible as business expense is

$400 for air fare

$250 to register

$300 per night for three days

=$300 × 3 = $900

$200 for meals

=$200 × 50% = 100

$150 for cab fee

= $400 +$250 + $900 + $100 +$150

=$1800

(b) Mellisa cannot deduct any expenses as total cost for the sightseeing since she consider this part of the trip as personal, since only expenses for business purposes is deductible. The expenses of sightseeing is $0. The main purpose for Mellisa traveling is for business therefore the $1,800 will only be deductible as business expense

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

It will take 1 year and 307 days to cover the initial investment.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Initial investment= $6,900

Cash flows:

Cf1= $4,200

Cf2= $5,100

Cf3= $6,300

Cf4= $5,500

Discount rate= 15%

<u>The payback period is the time required to cover the initial investment. We need to discount each cash flow.</u>

<u></u>

Year 1= 4,200/1.15 - 6,900= -3,247.83

Year 2= 5,100/1.15^2 - 3,247.83= 608.50

<u>To be more accurate:</u>

(3,247.83 / 3,856.33)*365= 307 days

It will take 1 year and 307 days to cover the initial investment.

According to anthropological ethics, the first responsibility of the anthropologist is to the people studied.
Len [333]

<span>The answer is true. The anthropologists have main ethical obligations to the people, species, and materials they research and to the people with whom they work. These duties can exchange the goal of seeking new knowledge, and can lead to decisions not to start or to stop a research project when the primary obligation conflicts with other responsibilities, such as those unsettled to sponsors or clients.</span>

In classical conditioning, the ns becomes a ________ after it reliably signals the occurrence of the ________.
Leto [7]

In classical conditioning, the Neutral Stimulus (NS) becomes a Conditioned Stimulus (CS) after it reliably signals the impending occurrence of the Unconditioned Stimulus (US).

The conditioned stimulus (CS) is a neutral stimulus (NS) that - after being repeatedly presented before the unconditioned stimulus - evokes a similar response as the unconditioned stimulus (US).

For example, a cat staring at a can of food (unconditioned stimulus) reacts differently to the sound of a can opener being struck on any surface (neutral stimulus). But if you condition a cat to believe that striking a can opener on any surface signals it will eat a can of food, the neutral stimulus becomes the conditioned stimulus.
