...Economics 242: Economics of Gender Spring 2013 Professor: Karine Moe Course Preceptor: Sasha Indarte Office: 310F Carnegie Hall Email: moe@macalester.edu Web: http://www.macalester.edu/~moe Phone: 696-6793 Office Hours: Mondays 1:30-2:30, Wednesdays 8:30-9:15, Thursdays 1:30-2:30, other times by appointment Course Description: During the past fifty years, Americans have witnessed dramatic changes in the structure of the family. The changes in marriage, divorce, and fertility rates since the 1960s have been inextricably linked with changes in attitudes towards work and, in particular, with changes in women's work patterns both in and out of the household. In that same time period, economists have come to realize that standard economic theory can be applied to many aspects of family life including marriage, fertility, divorce, and the division of work and leisure within the household. In this course we will use economic theory, both neo-classical and feminist, to explore how gender differences lead to different economic outcomes for men and women, both within families and in the marketplace. Course Prerequisite: Economics 119, Principles of Economics, is a necessary prerequisite, since we will make use of concepts, vocabulary, analytical skills and other tools developed in the Principles course. Course Readings: The following texts are required and can be purchased at the Macalester Bookstore or online. Additional readings will be made available...

...feel that the following reasons I am going to illuminate should result in a strong consideration for an exception to drop this course. First, I’m at a strong disadvantage in this course because I have absolutely zero Geology background and feel that anyone else in a similar situation as mine would have extreme difficulty receiving an A. Geology 1010 is a prerequisite for Geology 1020 and all the fellow classmates I have talked to have already taken Geology 1010, are Sophomores or older, have previous and extensive Geology knowledge, and are still struggling with the class. I literally studied 3+ hours a day for two weeks prior to my last exam and still received a 60%. I was very stressed and upset over this exam because that was my worst exam score in a long time, yet I studied far more on this exam than any previous exam in my life. I liked the challenge that came along with this course so I did not drop by the date, but the topics are continually getting more and more difficult. So much so, that I have not even been paying attention to my vastly more important business related classes because of the prodigious amount of stress and attention GEOL 1020 requires. I was never informed that this class builds upon the information learned in GEOL 1010 when registering for classes. The only information I was told when scheduling for my classes first semester was that 1000 level classes were introductory, not realizing that some 1000 level classes are follow ups from the prerequisite...

...Chapter 8 Business Income, Deductions, and Accounting Methods SOLUTIONS MANUAL Discussion Questions 1. [LO 1] What is an “ordinary and necessary” business expenditure? “Ordinary” and “necessary” imply that an expense must be customary and helpful, respectively. Because these terms are subjective, the tests are ambiguous. However, ordinary is interpreted by the courts as including expenses which may be unusual for a specific taxpayer (but not for that type of business) and necessary is not interpreted as only essential expenses. These limits can be contrasted with the reasonable limit on amounts and the bona fide requirement for profit motivation. 2. [LO 1] Is cost of goods sold deductible as a business expense for a business selling inventory? Explain. No. Under the return of capital principal, cost of goods sold represents a reduction in gross income rather than a business expense. For example, if a taxpayer sells inventory for $100,000 and reports a cost of goods sold of $40,000, the business’s gross income is $60,000 ($100,000 – 40,000) not $100,000. 3. [LO 1] Tom is an attorney who often represents individuals injured while working (worker liability claims). This year -Tom spent $50 on a book entitled Plumbing For Dummies and paid $500 to take a course on plumbing residences and rental housing. Can you imagine circumstances in which these expenditures would be deductible as “ordinary and necessary” for an attorney. Explain. “Ordinary” and “necessary”...

I will assist the following clients. * A small business owner in a limousine service doing business in Texas. * A Human Resources Director of a medium sized construction company that wants to open up operations in Arizona. * A Human Resources representative with a large hotel that wants to expand its operations into the country of India. Landslide Limousines as a small business client. Bradley Stonefield wants to open a “first-class” limousine service in Austin, Texas as an on-going concern. He projects that there will be 25 employees hired at the outset. He will organize as a small business and he will be subject to state and federal laws in the recruitment and retention of drivers, as well as licensing requirements that will be determined by the state of Texas. The labor market conditions will help dictate which federal and state laws will be used. The limousine service will have to comply with a number of federal employment laws. First, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Cascio, 2013, p.83) prohibits the discrimination in hiring and promotions based on race, color, religion, and sex of the applicant. In...
