Answer:
1 and a half months worth of depreciation
Explanation:
The advantage of starting to depreciate an asset purchased on December is that next year you will be able to depreciate it for a full year under MACRS. Generally, when you purchase an asset, you have to use the half year convention and your depreciation expense for the first year will be low compared to the second year. But if you start depreciating your asset in the current year, even if you purchased it on December and the depreciation expense is not that significant, the next year you will be able to depreciate it at the second year rate.
In trying to understand the evacuation of the World Trade Center when it was first bombed in 1993, B. E. Aguirre, Dennis Wenger, and Gabriela Vigo argue that the more "the search for meaning in the milling process focuses upon defining the situation as serious, the quicker should be the mobilization of people and the initiation of collective behavior." What type of theory are they using to make this prediction?
Answer: Emergent norm theory
Explanation: The emergent norm theory could be explained as the energy, discipline and panache which surrounds a particular situation. When there is a situation at hand, the extent at which the issue or situation is managed hinges on the social interaction or atmosphere within the crowd or pool of participants. It defines the importance, seriousness and norm exhibited by members who make up the pool or crowd. The crowd behavior reverberates around individual members and as such influences their behavior by adopting or following the trend due to the nature of the circumstance at ahead which has given rise to a change in the individual attribute or character of the people.

The company is allowed to continue operating the plant under the new zoning classification as a nonconforming use. However, if the plant is destroyed or torn down, the asphalt company MOST likely
Answer:
forbidden to rebuild the plant in that neighborhood under any circumstances

A nonconforming use allows for the use of a property that was allowed under the zoning regulations at the time that it was built, even though it is no longer permitted due to new regulations. In such a case like this one, if the plant is destroyed or torn down, the asphalt company most likely would be forbidden to rebuild the plant in that neighborhood under any circumstances because they would not be able to meet the new zoning requirements.

E) The ads are in trade journals that Greek hospital administrators don't read.
The correct answer is A) The name of the product, when translated into Greek, has an unintentional meaning.

On January 1, Garcia Supply leased a truck for a three-year period, at which time possession of the truck will revert back to the lessor. Annual lease payments are $12,000 due on December 31 of each year, calculated by the lessor using a 4% discount rate. Negotiations led to Garcia guaranteeing a $31,600 residual value at the end of the lease term. Garcia estimates that the residual value after four years will be $30,200.
What is the amount to be added to the right-of-use asset and lease liability under the residual value guarantee?
Answer:
The lease liaiblity will include additional 45,134.39 dollars for the residual value guarantee
Explanation:
We need to add to the present value of the lease payment, the present value of the guaranteed residual value as this is part of the lease liaiblity as well.
Maturity 60,400.00
time 5.00
rate of 0.06
PV 45,134.39
The gain or loss based on the residual value will be considered at the end of the useful life of the truck. The expected fair value at the end of the lease has no relevance

Answer:
FV= $5,812.85
Explanation:
To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
First investment:
PV= 2,000
i= 0.06/2= 0.03
n= 10*2= 20
FV= 2,000*(1.03^20)
FV= $3,612.22
Second investment:
PV= 3,612.22
i= 0.06/4= 0.015
n= 8*4= 32
FV= 3,612.22*(1.015^32)
FV= $5,812.85

Payment for subscriptions is billed one month in advance. First month's payments are pro-rated for the amount due up until the 15th of the month plus the next month's bill amount. All monthly payments are due by the 15th of each month. Payments received after the 20th of the month will result in a late fee of $20.00. The late fee may be waived one time per year.
Answer: c. The subscription began about 10 days before the 15th of the month.
Explanation:
With the first month's payments being pro-rated for the amount due up until the 15th of the month plus the next month's bill amount payments, the likely possibility is that the customer started their first subscription 10 days before the 15th of the first month.
This would then mean that they were charged the daily rate for each of those 10 days which amounted to $15. The daily rate can be calculated by dividing $45 by 30 days because $45 is the rate for the month according to the question.
= 45/30
= $1.5 a day.

Zoe, who works as a retail clerk, wishes to talk with her coworkers about organizing a union. Her employer forbids her from talking with other workers about union activity in the presence of customers and threatens to fire her if she joins the union. Does the employer have a legal right to make this threat to Zoe
Answer:
No. An employer may limit the time and place of conversation, but may not threaten to fire the employee.
Explanation:
Forming or joining a union is a legal right of all employees within an organisation.
Unions are created to fight for the rights of employees and to ensure they are not subject to inhumane treatment by employers.
In the given scenario Zoe wishes to talk with her coworkers about organizing a union.
The employer does not want her to discuss this in front of customers. This can be enforced legally by the employer.
However the threat to fire her for joining the union is illegal.
The employer only has the right to determine time and place of conversation
A theater group made appearances in two cities. The hotel charge before tax in the second city was $500 lower than in the first. The tax in the first city was 8%, and the tax in the second city was 8.5%. The total hotel tax paid for the two cities was $823.75. How much was the hotel charge in each city before tax?
Answer:
Hotel charge in city 1= $5,250
Hotel charge in city 2= $4,750
Explanation:
A theater group made an appearance in two cities.
Let x represent the amount charged in the first city
Let y represent the amount charged in the second city
The hotel charge before tax in the first city is $500 lower than the second city
y= x-500......equation 1
The tax in the first city is 8%
= 8/100
= 0.08
The tax in the second city is 8.5%
= 8.5/100
= 0.085
0.08x + 0.085y= 823.75.........equation 2
Substitute (x-500) for y in equation 2
0.08x + 0.085(x-500)= 823.75
0.08x + 0.085x - 42.5= 823.75
Collect the like terms
0.08x + 0.085x= 823.75+42.5
0.165x= 866.25
x= 866.25/0.165
x = 5,250
Substitute 5250 for x in equation 1
y= x-500
y= 5,250-500
y= 4,750
Hence the hotel charge in city 1 is $5,250 and the hotel charge in city 2 is $4,750

Given that total spending for a certain household will always include a base amount of $1000/month, and that additional spending is equal to half of any income earned, we can predict total household spending with a model y=b+mx, where::_______
a. x represents income earned.
b. y represents income earned.
c. b = 1/2.
Answer:
a. x represents income earned
Explanation:
Using the model, which is the equation of a line or regression model.
y = mx + c
The base amount of $1000 which is always included is constant, this represents c, the intercept.
x in the equation is the independent variable, which is the income earned, and dictates the change in the amount spent y
m = 1/2 which dictates the proportion of the income earned that is spent.
y = the amount which is spend
