Answer: b. Harold is not required to recognize gross income but must reduce his cost basis in the land to $130,000.
Explanation:
When Harold bought the land for $150,000 he acquired a basis of $150,000 in the land. Due to Jewel's cash problems, he managed to pay $20,000 less for the land.
For tax reporting purposes, he need not recognize gross income but he must reflect that he acquired the land for $20,000 less in his basis for the land thereby reducing the basis to $130,000.
Answer:
1. The obligation to transfer the vacuum cleaner in lieu of the price.
2. To honour one year warranty for any product defect that is part of the purchase contract and an inherent obligation.
Explanation:
The contract for purchase of a vacuum cleaner has two performance obligations;
1. The obligation to transfer the vacuum cleaner in lieu of the price.
2. To honour one year warranty for any product defect that is part of the purchase contract and an inherent obligation.
it may be noted that the extended warranty is a separate performance obligation as it can be purchased at the same time of original purchase or later and separate consideration is payable for that and there is no direct co-relation of the extended warranty obligation with the initial purchase.
Answer: 25%
Explanation:
Employee turnover rate (ETR) = number of employees leaving/Average number of employees × 100
Number of employees leaving = 50 employees leaving voluntarily + 5 terminated employees = 55 employees
Average number of employees = 100 + 120 = 220 employees
ETR = 55÷220 × 100 = 25%
Therefore the Employee turnover Rate for the accounting period was 25%
Answer:
a) Employment-at-will is a form of employer-employee relationship which may be terminated by the employer at any time without due consultation with the employee as long as the reason for the termination is not against the law.
b) Work Place Testing: This refers to all the series of tests that an employer can and may administer to a job applicant in order to ascertain their suitability for the role and ensure that they are a culture fit.
Workplace Testing is a fair hiring practice. There is no use hiring an employee only to discover few months later that they cannot do the job as they asserted on their resume. This can be very detrimental to the business as it can leave the business very vulnerable.
e If a candidate is turned down after testing, it doesn't mean they are not capable of being productive at all. It only means that they don't match the person specification for the current job under consideration.
Cheers!
