Answer:

B. 1 and 2.

Explanation:

Life insurance policy can be defined as a contract between a policyholder and an insurer, in which the insurer agrees to pay an amount of money to a specific beneficiary either upon the death of the insured person (decedent) or after a set period of time.

A decedent refers to a deceased person who is no longer able to control his or her properties (wealth).

Generally, insurance companies across the globe charge millions of their customers (insured) premiums every year. This gives them the privilege of having a pool of cash which can be used to cover the cost of losses and destruction to the asset of a small fraction or percentage of its customers.

This simply means that, since insurance companies collect premium from all of their customers for losses which may or may not occur, so they can easily use this cash to compensate or indemnify for losses incurred by those having high risk.

Death benefit proceeds from a life insurance policy are included in a decedent's gross estate in the following circumstances:

I. The decedent gave the policy to his father four years ago, but retained the right to change the name of the beneficiary.

II. The policy beneficiary is a grantor trust of the decedent but the policy is owned by a closely-held corporation.

The importance of flower farming is increasing day by day in nepal. Justify this statement. please write long ans​
devlian [24]

Answer:

Prior to 1990, there were a number of nurseries within the valley as well as a few outside that cultivated flowers, but the trend then was more towards producing potted plants, seeds, bulbs and suchlike. There was no large market for cut flowers of the variety available now, in part because there was very little demand due to a lack of market exposure to cut flowers. People in Kathmandu just did not use them on a regular basis. According to nursery owners, there was at that time only a small demand amongst the expatriate community and amongst the Indian community. On November 15 1992 however, the Floriculture Association of Nepal or FAN was formed, and this marked the beginning of the floriculture industry in Nepal.

FAN was formed by 11 nursery owners with the objective of promoting and enhancing the floriculture industry and the emergence of flowers in the Katmandu market can in fact be attributed to the training in flower arrangement that FAN conducted in 1993. Following this training, they initiated the opening of a wholesale market and the support FAN gave to the organization 'Women in Floriculture' project enabled several entrepreneurs to set up flower retail outlets. This supply driven demand resulted in flowers being made available in the market and the market responded by taking up this supply. Business has since improved as demonstrated by the change in demand from around 100 rose stems a day in 1992 to 3000 stems in 2003 and from 100 gladiolus stems  in 1992 to 6000 in 2003. Figures from FAN put the total sale of cut flowers at 10 million in 1992, which went up to 70.2 million in 2003.

The domestic market for cut flowers is in fact increasing according to Suresh Bhakta Shrestha of Standard Nursery in Bansbari. He says that in 1993 150 thousand Nepali Rupees was the total turnover for all the shops that sold flowers in Kathmandu. This figure is now around 80 to a 100 thousand Rupees per month per shop! Latest figures also suggest that there are there are currently around 300 nurseries and 40 retail shops within the Kathmandu valley. This information suggests that floriculture has grown very rapidly and that the flower culture here continues to grow.

Michelle is an active participant in the rental condominium property she owns. During the year, the property generates a ($17,50
julsineya [31]

Answer: $8,000

Explanation:

A special rule allows Michelle to classify up to $25,000 as losses against her nonpassive income.

If Michelle's modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) exceeds $100,000 however, the amount that exceeds the $100,000 will be reduced by 50% and deducted from the exemption allowed.

Loss deduction = Exemption allowed - [(Nonpassive income - MAGI limit) * 50%)

= 25,000 - [ (120,000 + 10,500 + 3,500 - 100,000) * 50%]

= $8,000

4280 x 1.09 = real wage if constant from period x to period y. Let's call
this number Z.

Find the relationship between Z and the government's wage increase. If 5300 / Z < 1 then the total effect of wage increase/inflation's devaluation of real salary is negative. If the relationship is above one (5300/Z > 1) then the effect is positive for the workers.

topjm [15]

Answer:The marginal cost of fourth unit is $589

Explanation:The marginal cost of a good is defined as the cost of producing an additional one unit which increases the total cost of such good. Therefore we can say that;

Marginal cost=Total cost at 4 units - total cost at (4-1) units

 =total cost of  the  4 units - total cost of the  three units

              =3,087 -2,498

             =$589

Also using the formulae;

Marginal cost = Change in cost / change in quantity

= 3,087 -2,498/4-3 =589/1= $589

The marginal cost of fourth unit is $589
