Clampett, Incorporated, has been an S corporation since its inception. On July 15, 2021, Clampett, Incorporated, distributed $50
statuscvo [17]

Answer:the total amount of income J.D. recognizes related to Clampett, Incorporated, in 2021 =$5,000

Explanation:

Income  of J.D related to Clampett = Ordinary income + Capital gain

Given that Basis distribution = $50,000

                   Basis stock = $45,000

                  Ordinary income = $10,000

But Capital gain  = Basis distribution -( Basis stock  + Ordinary income)

Capital gain = $50,000 - ($45,000 +$10,000)

Capital gain =  $50,000 - $55,000

Capital gain =  = - $5,000

Therefore J.D. income related to Clampett = Ordinary income + Capital gain =$10,000 +(- $5,000)

=$10,000 - $5,000

=$5,000

How does the budget process make fiscal policy difficult to implement? (lo32-3)?
Keith_Richards [23]
The budget process makes fiscal policy difficult to implement because 
<span>---The budget process begins a year and a half before the budget is implemented, and this will make it difficult to know what type of fiscal policy will be needed because it requires us to predict the problem and opportunities that arise during the operation.
---Many budget decisions are made for political reasons , because many politicians was appointed by interest groups that controlled by big companies.
---Nearly two-thirds of the budget is mandated by federal programs and cannot be easily changed, even if it could be changed, the cost could outweihgt the benefit.</span>

Can a broker arbitrarily penalize an independent contractor based on varying factors, such as the sales agent's difficulty in cl
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

An independent contractor is a business person or entity who works for an employer based on an agreed-upon contract which affords him the flexibility of choosing how and when he accomplishes a task. The employer has the right to control the results of his work but has little or no say on how and when the job is done.

An independent contractor is not bound to work specific hours dictated by an employer. When the sale's agent finds it difficult to close a deal or is unable to produce paperwork in a timely fashion, he cannot just be arbitrarily penalized by the broker. The broker could terminate the contract if the agent does not meet up to his requirements.

Suppose a society begins by producing 3 units of X and 4 units of Y and then alters production to 4 units of X and 4 units of Y.
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

This situation means that resources were not being efficiently used.

If society managed to produce 1 more unit of X with the same resources and technology, this means that some resources were idle in the past, which causes inefficiency.

This also means that the combination 3 units of X and 4 units of Y is a point inside the PPF. However, we do not know if the combination 4 units of X and 4 units of Y is a point inside the PPF, or on the PPF, because there could be some other combination that could be even more efficient (for example 5 units of both X and Y with the same resources and technology).
