O.P., an unmarried 15-year-old high school student, finds herself pregnant by her 17-year-old boyfriend of several months. She estimates she is 10 weeks pregnant and visits a doctor to ask for an abortion.

O.P.’s parents have made it very clear that they would no longer allow her to live at home and would withdraw all financial support were she to become pregnant before marriage. O.P. has always aspired to attend college and graduate school. Her family knows about her relationship with the young man but they are unaware of its sexual nature. In her country, the law requires parental consent in all health care services for minors under the age of 16 years. It also provides for abortion for any woman upon request, up to 12 weeks of pregnancy. However, the doctor refuses to perform an abortion for O.P. unless one of her parents provides consent for the procedure.

Task 1: HTML and CSS

Create a website using HTML5 and CSS3 only. Website theme can be anything you want: a country, a town, a place, a hobby, people (yourself, your family...), pets, flowers, food, or anything that you find interesting or useful. It may be about real people/places/things or fictitious.

Part 1: Content (HTML)

After you decide the theme of your website, create HTML pages with the content you want to present. Remember to separate content from presentation. The content is placed in the HTML files, and the layout and style will be defined using CSS (see part 2). Your website must include (at least):

• 3 html pages:
  • index.html: this is the landing page (must be named index.html). The landing page is the first page a visitor will see when visiting your website.
  • another html page (any name)
  • yet another html page (any name)
• a typical layout using semantic tags (header, nav, footer, article...)
• page titles for each html page (titles show on the title bar/tabs)
• different size headings
• images:
  • at least 5 images in one html page,
  • the other pages may have any number of images (or none).
  • make sure all image paths are relative (not absolute)
• internal links:
  • links from index.html to the other html pages you created
  • links from all the other pages back to index.html
  • make sure all internal links are relative links (not absolute)
• external links:
  • at least two links to external websites (pages that you did not create).
  • external links should open in a new tab/window.
• a list (ordered or unordered)
• a table (with some relevant data)
• your copyright info at the footer (with the © symbol).
• classes and id's as needed (for styling with css)

Do not forget to make your pages accessible. You should double-check your code to make sure you are not missing closing tags, etc. and test it using different browsers. Focus on making your pages syntactically and semantically correct.

Part 2: Style (CSS)

You'll create an external stylesheet (css) to style the html pages you created in part 1. Name this file main.css.

All html pages should link to the same main.css file. You must use a variety of selectors and properties presented in chapters 4 and 5, including:

• font family, size, color, background color of text and headings, font color for links (make sure visited and unvisited links are displayed in different colors)
• positioning elements
• special effects or animations
• a navigation menu

Part 3: An alternate style (CSS)

You'll create a different CSS file, with different style and layout rules, to make your HTML pages look completely different (without making any changes to the HTML files).

• Name this css file alternate.css.
• Do not create new html files. You may change the name of the css linked in the html <head> section back and forth (while testing).
• Before submitting, make sure all html files link to main.css (we'll change it when testing).

Scott and Laura are married and will file a joint tax return. Laura has a sole proprietorship (not a “specified services” business) that generates qualified business income of $300,000. The proprietorship pays W–2 wages of $40,000 and holds property with an unadjusted basis of $10,000. Scott is employed by a local school district. Their taxable income before the QBI deduction is $386,600 (this is also their modified taxable income).

1. Determine Scott and Laura’s QBI deduction, taxable income, and tax liability for 2020.
2. After providing you the original information in the problem, Scott finds out that he will be receiving a $6,000 bonus in December 2020 (increasing their taxable income before the QBI deduction by this amount). Redetermine Scott and Laura’s QBI deduction, taxable income, and tax liability for 2020.
3. What is the marginal tax rate on Scott’s bonus?

2. Joanne Jamison

Joanne started with Performance Horizons five years ago, after receiving her MBA from The Wharton School. She has told people the reason she went to Wharton was to have the best opportunities at jobs that would offer quick advancement so she could rapidly rise to the top of the organization. Joanne has a keen sense of what makes organizations tick and who to go to when things need to get done. She doesn’t “waste” her time with chitchat, as she calls it. Her time is all spent on doing a good job on all her assignments and making sure she makes the right connections with the executives. Her performance has always been rated as excellent.

Which two of the four motivates Joanne the most?

4. Paul is now 30 years old. He has a job that pays him $60,000/year. He plans to work until he is 60 years old. The wage increases at the rate of 2% p.a. The job is quite stable and he believes that the proper discount rate is 3% p.a. He currently has no investment and no debt.

   He is considering going back to school to get a master's degree. The program will take two full-time years (i.e., he will need to take two years off from work) and costs $70,000 up front. Assume that after he graduates, the wage growth rate and the interest rate are the same as above. What is the minimum starting level of salary that he will have to get in order for the degree to be worth it?
