Answer:
D. Good intentions do not always lead to desirable outcomes.
Explanation:
Here in the question, it is evident that in order to protect the children from poisoning themselves, the government took a good step by passing a regulation to put child-resistance safety caps on the pill bottles.
But it is also evident that this regulation back fired and caused more casualties than before due to the non serious behavior of the general public.
Hence it can be concluded that the government put a good intention but it did not lead to the desired outcome for the government.
Hope I made myself clear buddy.
Good Luck.
Answer:
$130,000
Explanation:
Sarah is making use of the needs approach to determine how much life insurance to buy
The first step is to calculate the total amount of life insurance
Total amount of life insurance = Total needs - total assets
Total need = income needs + cash needs + special needs
= $140,000 + $30,000 + $100,000
= $270,000
Total assets= retirement plan + bank account + investment account
= $30,000 + $20,000 + $40,000
= $90,000
Total amount of life insurance = $270,000-$90,000
= $180,000
Since Sarah is covered by $50,000 group insurance by her employer then the additional life insurance that should be purchased can be calculated as follows
= $180,000 - $50,000
= $130,000
Answer:
C) $0 $285,000
Explanation:
The §121 exclusion establishes that homeowners can exclude from their capital gains taxes the sale of their property for a maximum of $250,000 gain (or $500,000 for joint filers) if they meet two criteria:
- they owned the property for at last 5 years
- they use the property as main residence for at least 2 years (they can aggregate time periods).
So if Eric and Katie use the §121 exclusion they wouldn't pay any capital gains tax ($500,000 is higher than $375,000).
If they decide to forgo the §121 exclusion, then they will have to pay taxes for a gain of:
capital gain = net sale price - asst basis
capital gain = ($375,000 - $10,000) - $80,000 = $365,000 - $80,000 = $285,000
Answer:
An asset exchange transaction which increases the cost of the purchased merchandise.
The firm gives the transportation company money (which is an asset) and since the transportation costs are included in the cost of the merchandise, the firm is paying a fraction of the cost of the asset.
When you are calculating the purchase cost of goods you must include the price of the goods, transportation costs, and any other associated expense like insurance costs and import fees, etc.
Transportation costs are only included in the COGS when the firm acquires the goods, but when the firm sells the goods, any distribution cost is not included under production costs, instead they are included under the sales costs.
