Answer:

Hamlet

Hamlet can recognize a loss of $1,500 in 2020.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Number of shares in Vanity Corporation = 1,000 common stock

Period of stockholding = 2 years

Cost of investment = $4,000

Sales proceeds from shares = $2,500

Capital loss = $1,500

b) Hamlet can use the capital loss deduction of $1,500 to reduce his other capital gains of the similar term in the first instance.  Note that the capital loss is a long-term capital loss since the investment was held for two years.

Organizations in the United States such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the Nation
insens350 [35]

Answer: B. classification is a political issue—these groups fear that their political clout will decline if their numbers go down

Explanation:

These organisations fear that their numbers will go down because should a multiracial category be added, they will have less people classified as the races their organisation caters for. More numbers in an organisation means greater power and influence and we've seen this when large trade unions hold entire companies hostage simply because they have the numbers.

A great example would be the Ikwere people of Southern Nigeria. They share a common ancestry with the Igbos of Eastern Nigeria and generally have very similar customs. Even the language is similar and they had always been considered Igbo until after the Civil War in Nigeria broke out with the Igbos being the main rebels. With the Civil war concluded, the Federal Government officially recognized the Ikwere as an ethic group independent of the Igbo. The Ikwere occupied crude oil rich areas and this recognition therefore robbed the Igbo of valuable lands and political clout.

Whilst not strictly the same as these organisations losing people to the multiracial category, it shows what can happen to an organisation should their numbers decrease
