Answer: B. The investor has a short-term capital loss of $20,000.

Explanation:

A short-term loss occurs when a deficit is realized when there's a sale of an asset which has been held by the person for a period of one year or less.

In this case, since the security was worthless, it's a loss and was also help for six months which is less than one year, then it's a short term capital loss.

Therefore, the correct option is B

inna [77]

Answer:

The answer to this question varies depending on what their role is in the hive. For example, many worker bees eat the same exact foods such as honey, pollen, and nectar. However, the elusive queen bees (less common in a hive) are typically fed a different diet while growing up to change their overall larval development.

The ​short-run effect of consumers becoming more pessimistic will be for the
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

In case the consumers have a pessimistic tendency towards the future, they would expect the economy to face a downturn. They will, as a result, save their income and wealth for the future.  

This would cause a decline in consumer spending and the aggregate demand curve will move down to the left.  

An increase in consumer confidence, on the other hand, would cause consumer spending and aggregate demand to increase.

Advocard [28]

Answer:

A journal is provided as an attachment to record the entries for Perez Computers.

Explanation:

The gross method of cash discounts assumes that the customer will not take advantage of the offered discount.  It therefore records the sale in full without netting off the discount element.  This was done in the answer.

When Robertson paid within 10 days, the 3% cash discount was allowed since payment was received within the terms of 15 days.

For The Clark Store, there was no discount because payment was received later than the allowed 10 days.

A sharp downturn in the U.S. housing market reduced the income of many who worked in the home construction industry. A Wall Stre
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section.

Explanation:

If the wages of the Hispanics construction worker in America are less then, they will not have near as much money to send home to their relatives back in Mexico.

And if their families do not have as much as it use to be then they will not be able to buy near as much as they used to.

It means that if the construction workers don't get as much money as they used to then, neither they nor their families  will be able to spend as much as they use to which will obviously hurt each of their economies.

The owner of an orange grove must decide when to pick one variety of oranges. She can sell them for $27 a bushel if she sells th
uysha [10]

Answer:

The oranges should be picked in 2 weeks for maximum return

Explanation:

We assume that the return of the owner is y ($)

Assume that the number of weeks the oranges should be picked to have maximum return is x (weeks). (x≥0)

If collect now, the price for each bushel is $27

As the price per bushel decrease by $1.50 per bushel each week

=> After x weeks, the price of a bushel decrease: 1.5x ($)

=> The price of 1 bushel after x weeks is: 27 - 1.5x ($)

If collect now, each tree can yield 7 bushels

As the yield increases by half a bushel per week for the next 5 weeks

=> After x weeks with x ≤ 5, each trees would yields: 7 + 0.5x (bushels)

The return = The price of each bushes × The quantity of bushels

=> y = (27-1.5x)(7+0.5x)

⇔y= 27 (7 +0.5x) - 1.5x(7+0.5x) = 189 + 13.5x - 10.5x - 0.75x^{2}

⇔y = -0.75x^{2} +3x +189

We have: if the equation has the form of y =ax^{2} +bx +c with a≠0, its maximum value is: max y = c - \frac{b^{2} }{4a}

In the equation y = -0.75x^{2} +3x +189, we have: a = -0.75; b = 3; c = 189

=> max y = c -\frac{b^{2} }{4a} = 189 - \frac{3^{2} }{4.(-0.75)} = 189 - \frac{9}{-3}  = 189 - (-3) = 189+3 = 192

To look for the number of weeks, we should find x (0≤x≤5) with which y = 192

192 = -0.75x^{2} +3x +189

⇔-0.75x^{2} + 3x + 189 - 192 = 0

⇔-0.75 x^{2} + 3x - 3 =0

⇔-0.75x^{2}  + 4*0.75x - 0.75*4 =0

⇔x^{2} -4x + 4 = 0

⇔ (x-2)^{2}  = 0

⇔ x = 2

The oranges should be picked in 2 weeks for maximum return
