Your client, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, have asked you about making a $120,000 cash charitable contribution to their church. They have heard that the new tax law has changed some of the rules about itemized deductions and charitable contribution limits, but they don’t know the details. They have provided you with their expected adjusted gross income (before any itemized or standard deduction) for 2018 which will be $100,000. Their AGI for 2019 will be $50,000 because Mr. Smith is retiring at the end of 2018. They have no other itemized deduction expenses in 2018 and expect none in 2019.

1)Explain to your manager how this contribution will be deducted on the client’s return in 2018 and 2019 and any future years if applicable ,List the code section that applies to charitable contribution limitations  

2)List the code section that applies to charitable contribution limitations  

3a. If the molar absorptivity constant for the red dye solution is 5.56×104 M-1 cm-1 , calculate the molarity of the red dye solution with absorption = 0.900. You may assume L = 1.22cm. Hint: A=εLC

b. Convert the molarity in part a to w/v%. Show your work. Molar mass of FD&C red #3 = 879.86g/mol w/v% is defined as weight (in grams) of solute/100 mL of solution You should remember that w/v% always refers to the grams of materials in 100mL of solution. ppm is defined as mg of solute/ L of solution (1mg = 10-3 g) ppb is defined as µg of solute / L of solution (1µg = 10-6 g)

c. If you want to dilute the red dye solution in part a by 5 times in a single dilution step, explain in two sentences on how one should proceed with the dilution. In addition, what is the final concentration of the diluted solution? Show your work for the numerical part of this question. You are only allowed to use a 5-mL volumetric pipet, a 10-mL volumetric pipet, a 50-mL volumetric flask and/or a 100-mL volumetric flask during the dilution. You may NOT reuse the same pipet during the dilution.

Explain Delta, Theta and Vega in detail, give examples of each on in real life options contracts (this question requires research) After showing your example explain what the changes in the stock price would do to the greeks in your specific case and why?

Assume that you need to buy new dishwasher because your old one is failing. You have enough money to buy any model or brand on the market. You are single, you live in Shrewsbury and you own your own car. How will you select the best dishwasher to buy? What steps, information, facts and processes will you use? Please list and explain in detail every step you will take to assure that you are choosing the best dishwasher.

1) What does “cherry picking” mean in speaking?

2) What is the difference between using any source or a credible source?

3) What is the structure of a simple speech, and what is the relevance of each section?

4) Why do you need to use transitions in your speech and between each section?

suppose that you encounter two traffic lights on your commute to school. Based on past experience, you judge that the probability is .60 that the first light will be red when you get to it, .50 that the second light will be red, and .40 that both lights will be red.

a)Determine the conditional probability that the second light will be red, given that the first light is red. (Here and throughout, show the details of your calculations.)

b)Are the events {first light is red} and {second light is red} independent? Justify your answer.

c) Given that at least one light is red, what is the probability that both lights are red? (Show your work.)

Three people are brought into a room. A hat is placed on each person’s head. The hat is equally likely to be Red or Blue. (So each of the 8 possibilities is equally likely.) Each person sees the colors of the other people’s hats, but not their own. Each person, without communication, writes down one of the following: "My hat is red", "My hat is blue" or "Pass". All three people will be put in jail unless (a) at least one of them doesn’t pass, and (b) everyone who doesn’t pass is right about his/her own hat color. Importantly, they can agree ahead of time on a strategy, with the hopes of not going to prison.

(a) What is the probability that they are not sent to prison if each person guesses the color of his/her own hat?

(b) What is the probability that they are not sent to prison if two of them pass and 1 of them guesses?

(c) What is the probability that they are not sent to prison if they use the following strategy: Each person looks at the other two hats. If they are both blue, then the person guesses red. If they are both red, then the person guesses blue. If they are different, the person passes.

Debate Presentation : Rapid Prototyping Exercise

• Problem:

Gillette Company focuses on producing the best possible disposable razors at an economic rate. Thereby, they distinguish their products with high quality razor blade, ease of use and right pricing strategy.

• Solution

The promotional strategy requires a business to strategise how it plans to reach and communicate to the target market segments. Promotions are nothing but conveying your messages about the product. A business needs to outline what is great about it communications and what isn’t.

Questions:

1. Set out guidelines and definitions of your topic – problem and solution

2. State reasons as to why your solutions are the best course of action to the mentioned problem

3. Conclude with options of why the opposing argument would not work

4. Clearly state your facts and _ truths

5. conclude

A football coach claims that players can increase their strength by taking a certain supplement. To test the
theory, the coach randomly selects 9 athletes and gives them a strength test using a bench press. The results are
listed below. Thirty days later, after regular training using the supplement, they are tested again. The new
results are listed below. Test the claim that the supplement is effective in increasing the athletesʹ strength.
Use α= 0.05. Assume that the distribution is normally distributed.

Use any method, however, follow the PHANTOMS acronym.
