Answer:

$700 million

Explanation:

From a bank's perspective, liabilities are the money it owes to customers. Customer deposits make up a big proposition of a bank's liabilities. Customer deposits held in the bank are liabilities because the money belongs to customers and not the bank.

The deposits of $700 are the liabilities. Reserves are a part of customer deposits that must be retained at the bank's custody at all times. Bonds are trading assets to the bank.

Digital Enterprise, Inc., promises to pay its employees a year-end bonus "if profits continue to be high and management agrees a
barxatty [35]

Answer:

D) An illusory promise

Explanation:

An illusory promise is not enforceable. Illusory promises are simply illusions that seem or appear to a contract, but are not.

In this case, there is no consideration at all, therefore none of the parties is bound by a contract. It would be different if the company promised to pay a bonus if its profits are xx%. How can someone determine what is considered high profits, and how can you be sure that management will agree?

It is basically like telling someone else that you will give them something if you are happy and willing to do it. How can someone determine if you are happy or not, and how can someone know if you are willing to do it or not?

Dmitriy789 [7]

Marginal productivity theory assumes that a worker’s income is a function of the contribution of that worker to the value of the output. in business, this is called the "value-added" approach.

There is a correct theory called marginal productivity theory. Wages are paid at a level equal to the marginal revenue product of labor, the MRP (value of the marginal product of labor). MRP is the increase in income caused by the increase in output produced by the last employed worker.

The marginal productivity theory of income distribution proposes that each individual should receive income based on their contribution to total output. The marginal productivity theory of income distribution has been criticized for the following reasons. Income from inheritance is inconsistent with the theory.

Jurisdiction E spends approximately $7 million each winter on snow removal. The jurisdiction is considering adding a new income
frez [133]

Answer:

'Taxes' can be defined as a compulsory contribution to the state's or country's revenues, which are levied by the governments on personal incomes of individuals or profits of the corporate, or on some transactions.

Taxes are the main source of revenues for any government, through which it receives the necessary funds to spend on various activities it undertakes for public welfare and maintaining the law and order and security of the nation.

Many theorists believe that every tax should be evaluated on certain standards and the following four standards have been mentioned for evaluating whether taxes are good or not:

  1. Taxes should be sufficient to fulfill the government's requirements
  2. Taxes should be convenient for the government to implement and for the citizens to pay
  3. Taxes should be efficient economically
  4. Taxes should be fair

There may be certain provisions introduced in the federal tax system, which are targeted to induce certain behaviors or shift people's attention towards certain activities. These provisions are called tax preferences

Does this proposed change in Jurisdiction E's tax law meet the definition of a tax preference? Explain briefly.

In the given question, the decision of the jurisdiction to give deduction to the people for the snow removal equipment they purchase, is definitely a tax preference as it induces people to invest in snow removing machines, as they are getting full deduction of such expense in income taxes.

By having this provision, the government is motivating people to invest in these machines, and people also have the benefit of having such machine with them, and also getting tax deduction for such expense, so getting such machine almost free (this applies to people who have incomes in such tax bracket only). Thus it is the way of government in encouraging people to buy snow removing machines and reduce the burden on the government. Thus it is clearly a tax preference.

Jurisdiction E forecasts that the proposed change will decrease its annual tax revenues by $250,000 but will improve the jurisdiction's financial condition by $300,000. On what assumptions is this forecast based?

The forecast regarding decrease in annual tax and improvement in financial condition is based on the assumptions of people taking benefit of such a provision, and actually investing in snow removing machines.

The jurisdiction believes that people will purchase the machines and make claims for deductions, effecting the tax revenue by $250,000. But at the same time, as many people will themselves remove the snow, the government doesn't have to spend so much on snow removal and thus make the savings of $300,000
