State your conclusion about interaction between class and type.

Because the p-value > α = 0.05, interaction between class and type is significant.Because the p-value > α = 0.05, interaction between class and type is not significant.    Because the p-value ≤ α = 0.05, interaction between class and type is not significant.Because the p-value ≤ α = 0.05, interaction between class and type is significant.

Gallatin Carpet Cleaning is a small, family-owned business operating out of Bozeman, Montana. For its services, the company has always charged a flat fee per hundred square feet of carpet cleaned. The current fee is $23.35 per hundred square feet. However, there is some question about whether the company is actually making any money on jobs for some customers—particularly those located on remote ranches that require considerable travel time. The owner’s daughter, home for the summer from college, has suggested investigating this question using activity-based costing. After some discussion, a simple system consisting of four activity cost pools seemed to be adequate. The activity cost pools and their activity measures appear below:

The total cost of operating the company for the year is $348,000, which includes the following costs:

Resource consumption is distributed across the activities as follows:

Joe operates a business that locates and purchases specialized assets for clients, among other activities. Joe uses the accrual method of accounting but he doesn’t keep any significant inventories of the specialized assets that he sells. Joe reported the following financial information for his business activities during year 0.

Determine the effect of each of the following transactions on the taxable business income.

Required:

1. Joe has signed a contract to sell gadgets to the city. The contract provides that sales of gadgets are dependent upon a test sample of gadgets operating successfully. In December, Joe delivers $11,550 worth of gadgets to the city that will be tested in March. Joe purchased the gadgets especially for this contract and paid $8,550.
2. Joe paid $185 for entertaining a visiting out-of-town client. The client didn’t discuss business with Joe during this visit, but Joe wants to maintain good relations to encourage additional business next year.
3. On November 1, Joe paid $410 for premiums providing for $41,000 of “key man” insurance on the life of Joe’s accountant over the next 12 months.
4. At the end of year 0, Joe’s business reports $9,150 of accounts receivable. Based upon past experience, Joe believes that at least $2,030 of his new receivables will be uncollectible.
5. In December of year 0, Joe rented equipment to complete a large job. Joe paid $3,150 in December because the rental agency required a minimum rental of three months ($1,050 per month). Joe completed the job before year-end, but he returned the equipment at the end of the lease.
6. Joe hired a new sales representative as an employee and sent her to Dallas for a week to contact prospective out-of-state clients. Joe ended up reimbursing his employee $310 for airfare, $360 for lodging, and $260 for meals $160 (Joe provided adequate documentation to substantiate the business purpose for the meals). Joe requires the employee to account for all expenditures in order to be reimbursed.
7. Joe uses his BMW (a personal auto) to travel to and from his residence to his factory. However, he switches to a business vehicle if he needs to travel after he reaches the factory. Last month, the business vehicle broke down and he was forced to use the BMW both to travel to and from the factory and to visit work sites. He drove 125 miles visiting work sites and 48 miles driving to and from the factory from his home. Joe uses the standard mileage rate to determine his auto-related business expenses.
8. Joe paid a visit to his parents in Dallas over the Christmas holidays. While he was in the city, Joe spent $55 to attend a half-day business symposium. Joe paid $210 for airfare, $54 for meals during the symposium, and $23 on cab fare to the symposium.

  (For all the transactions, select "No Effect" from the dropdown if no change in the taxable business income and for part g, round your answer to whole number. Use standard mileage rate.)

Pick one of the four and risk by telling us what you believe one rule is critical for founders. Why is it critical? Could you be a successful founder without it? Why or why not

1: There aren't any records interior your constructing, so get outside In our enjoy its miles very a difficult enjoy to herald practice. If you begin a business enterprise or a brand new mission you would really like to create. Actually, you're so satisfied that your new products or services are something your ability consumer needs, it's miles boom marketplace you're getting into and all of the marketplace studies reviews are verifying this. The best aspect this is lacking is your product. So the best aspect you want to do is create the product. And then… Nobody desires to shop for your product or as a minimum your income is a long way underneath your estimations. It is sort of well-known so what you want to do. Get out of the construction and communicate for your ability customers. Preferable earlier than you created any product or maybe a Minimum Viable Product. Do it your self as a founder, do now no longer delegate this client improvement for your personnel or to outside specialists. Employees and specialists will now no longer inform you of the difficult remarks your ability customers supply you.

2: Pair client improvement with Agile improvement In rule 1, you discovered to get out the construction. Do not begin any advent of a product earlier than you realize what to create. Less is more. But is you realize what to create, then do it agile. Not the best agile software program improvement (scrum) however contain the software program improvement into the agile client improvement. Make as many as feasible releases (as defined in contentious deploying with the aid of using Eric Ries) and check it with your (ability) customers.

Rule three: Failure is an indispensable a part of the search Creating new services or products inside a brand new business enterprise way many failures. You are satisfied to understand what your consumer desires however the consumer does now no longer need to shop for. It is failure however it isn't always so horrific because it seems like. It became a test that failed. It is gaining knowledge. The mission is to hold the gaining knowledge of the cycle as brief as feasible, use as much less as feasible assets and hold the time as brief as feasible. Less is more.

4: Make non-stop iterations and pivots It is already referred to in rule three and earlier than. Iterate, create experiments, analyze, create new experiments all inside restricted time and assets. Pivot all of the time until you reached the product marketplace healthy. If you attain product marketplace healthy then use all of your coins and assets to scale the enterprise.

Biking Motives

The previous studies focus on how choices by weak and strong identifiers differ, without exploring the potential role of situational variability in determining the motivations of high identifiers. However, as highlighted in the theory section, strong identifiers may consume for non-identity reasons, in which case they may display less resistance to automation. Study 5 examines this possibility using a bike purchase scenario that manipulates the motive for buying the bike.

Method

Two hundred U.S. residents on MTurk (99 women, Mage ¼ 33.0 years, SD ¼ 11.69) were randomly assigned to either an identity motive or a non-identity motive condition in a between-participants design. All participants first read: “Imagine you are a keen bike rider. Although your skills are far from professional, you are very serious about biking. You are proud of yourself as a bike rider. You spend most of your free time biking and you enjoy biking. You often visit a bicycle forum to exchange information on different types of bicycles with other members on the forum.” Participants in the identity motive condition then read: “Lately you are considering buying a new bicycle for weekend excursions. These excursions feature a few different courses of approximately 10 miles. During these activities, you can enjoy the cycling activities and enhance your skills as a cyclist. You want to minimize your cycling time that is not part of the excursion (e.g., getting to the start).” In the non-identity motive condition, participants instead read: “Lately you are considering buying a new bicycle for commuting to work. The distance between your office and your apartment is approximately 10 miles. You live in a city with congested traffic and riding a bicycle would save you a lot of time to get to the office. You want to minimize the time of the ride to facilitate your commute.” Then participants read the same bike purchase scenario as in Study 2 and indicated whether they would like to have the free automated feature on their bike. We predict that participants in the identity motive condition are less likely to choose the free automated feature than those in the non-identity motive condition.

Results and Discussion

Participants choose the free automated feature more in the nonidentity motive condition than in the identity motive condition (80% vs. 57%; w2 (1) ¼ 12.94, p < .001). These results are consistent with our prediction that strong identifiers are less likely to prefer automation when the primary motive of consumption relates to their identity. Moreover, the intrinsic enjoyment of a task is should not change much across situations, so these findings join Studies 2 and 4 in suggesting that greater task enjoyment among high identifiers is not necessary for the key predicted effect to occur.
