Answer:

The total monthly payments that are deductible by Duron are:

$1,200 each month for the next 10 years.

Explanation:

According to the IRS rules, if Duron pays his ex partner payments each month which are not documented by the court, the money is not tax deductible. Therefore, it is beneficial for Duron to receive a court order to pay the additional alimony if Duron plans on enjoying a tax deduction for the additional spousal support of $200.

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

0.0042 is the probability of the stick's weight being 2.33 oz or greater.  

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 1.75 oz

Standard Deviation, σ = 0.22 oz

We are given that the distribution of drumsticks is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

P(stick's weight being 2.33 oz or greater)

P(x > 2.33)

P( x > 2.33) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{2.33 - 1.75}{0.22}) = P(z > 2.6363)

= 1 - P(z \leq 2.6363)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x > 2.33) = 1 - 0.9958 =0.0042= 0.42\%

0.0042 is the probability of the stick's weight being 2.33 oz or greater.

Assume you had determined that John Firestone, vice president of Pierce Chemicals, was a prospect for your paper and metal conta
Nuetrik [128]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation.

Explanation:

1. Honesty.

State the purpose of your call to the secretary and sell your product. For instance, " Hello, my name is Mr. Petal and I represent a fast rising Paper and Metal Container company. After researching about your company, I felt it most expedient to get in touch with Mr. Firestone as I believe this is business he will be interested in. We offer perks that are unmatched in the industry".

2. Persistence.

You can be persistent on the phone if you detect deceit in the secretary's tone.

For instance,

" Having been in the chemical industry myself, I know such an opportunity does not come often and I really do guarantee that we give the best benefits in the industry. If you can, just let me talk to Mr. Firestone, I promise that neither of you will regret it".

If it still doesn't work, ask for a convenient time you can call back.

Suppose the production of cotton causes substantial environmental damage because the pesticides used by cotton farmers often mak
Kipish [7]

Answer: C. inefficiently low; inefficiently high

Explanation:

If the cotton farmers are not made to pay for the damage that their pesticides cost then they will maintain production at a relatively high level because their input costs will be relatively low. As a result of this high level of production, the price of the goods will be relatively low as well. The point at which both market equilibrium quantity and price are at in this scenario are considered inefficient because they are not taking into account, the true cost of production being the effects of the pesticides being used.

However, if they are made to pay for this negative externality that they are the cause of, it will increase their production cost and force them to reduce production to keep these costs low. As they reduce production, the market price will increase as supply is less.
