...Subtopic, provides general guidance to be used in distinguishing contributions from exchange transactions, including membership dues and agency transactions . > Implementation Guidance 55-2 The accounting and reporting of grants, membership dues, and sponsorships is determined by the underlying substance of the transaction.Those terms are broadly used to refer not only to contributions but also to assets transferred in exchange transactions.A grant, sponsorship, or membership may be entirely a contribution, entirely an exchange, or a combination of the two; therefore, care must be taken in evaluating each grant, sponsorship, or membership agreement.In addition, those resource transfers may also have the characteristics of agency transactions. 55-2A The implementation guidance is organized as follows: a. Distinguishing contributions from exchange transactions (see paragraphs 958-605-55-3 through 55-8 : ) b. Distinguishing the contribution portion of membership dues (see paragraphs 958-605-55-9 through 55-12 : ) c. Distinguishing contributions from agency transactions (see paragraph 958-605-55-13 : ). > > Distinguishing Contributions from Exchange Transactions 55-3 Some transfers of assets that are exchange transactions may appear to be contributions if the services or other assets given in exchange are perceived to be a sacrifice of little value and the exchanges are compatible with the recipient's mission. 55-4 Foundations, business entities...

...be. As cost is defined as the ‘highest-valued option forgone, whenever there is an option, there will be cost. However, since one’s resources can only be allocated to one use at one time, though there may be many options available, the cost of one’s activity is not equal to the sum of the options forgone. Hence, in deciding the cost of one’s action, only the highest-valued option forgone is considered as the cost of one’s action. This is because only this option is relevant in one’s decision making. Anything less than this highest sacrifice is irrelevant for decision making as even one does not choose the prevailing option, he will not choose an option which is not the highest-valued one. 2) Cost is the defined as the highest-valued option forgone for an action. Cost exists whenever options exist for an action. As there are many options available but there is only one can be chosen as an option at a time, only the highest-valued option forgone will be his cost of choosing the option. Once an option is chosen, the cost of choosing such option will change only if there is a change in the value of the highest-valued option forgone. If someone lives in his own flat, his cost of living in that flat will be equal to...

...to J co. having a fair market value of $1.5 million and a basis of $350,000. Further, the land is subject to a mortgage of $1.2 million. To avoid the gain that would result on this transaction, due to §357(c), Joe plans on contributing a promissory note to J Corporation of with a face value of $850,000. He claims that this note will have a basis equal to its face value thus eliminating the gain caused by §357(c). Issues Whether Joe’s transfer of a promissory note to its wholly owned corporation, in an amount equal to the excess of liabilities over the basis of assets contributed in a §351 transfer, avoids §357(c) gain recognition? Can he increase the basis of the assets by transferring his own promissory note to the corporation? Conclusion 1. Joe received stock valued at $300,000 and thus realized a gain of $1,150,000 ($300,000+$1,200,000-$350,000). §357(c) requires Joe recognize a gain of $850,000 ($1,200,000-$$350,000). 2. It depends on whether Joe’s note has a basis in Joe’s hands for purpose of section §357(c). Analysis 1. Under §357(c), no gain or loss is if property is transferred to a corporation solely in exchange for stock of that corporation if, immediately upon the transfer, the transferors are in control of the corporation. Joe transferred land to a corporation he controlled. An exception to tax-free treatment is contained in §357(c), which generally provides that a transferor in a §351 transaction recognizes gain to the extent that any liabilities assumed...

...STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF KANSAS* Syllabus Segregation of white and Negro children in the public schools of a State solely on the basis of race, pursuant to state laws permitting or requiring such segregation, denies to Negro children the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment -- even though the physical facilities and other "tangible" factors of white and Negro schools may be equal. (a) The history of the Fourteenth Amendment is inconclusive as to its intended effect on public education. (b) The question presented in these cases must be determined not on the basis of conditions existing when the Fourteenth Amendment was adopted, but in the light of the full development of public education and its present place in American life throughout the Nation. (c) Where a State has undertaken to provide an opportunity for an education in its public schools, such an opportunity is a right which must be made available to all on equal terms. (d) Segregation of children in public schools solely on the basis of race deprives children of the minority group of equal educational opportunities, even though the physical facilities and other "tangible" factors may be equal. (e) The "separate but equal" doctrine adopted in Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537, has no place in the field of public education. (f) The cases are restored to the docket for further argument on specified questions relating to the forms of the decrees. Opinion WARREN MR. CHIEF JUSTICE...

...a plan on how to use each influential tactic to better influence those around me (Scharlatt 19). There are eleven different tactics used to gain influence. These are rational persuasion, consultation, inspirational appeals, collaboration, apprising, ingratiation, exchange, personal appeals, legitimizing, pressure, and coalition tactics. Rational persuasion includes logical explanations and factual and detailed evidence (Scharlatt 17). Consultation includes being open to ideas from the requested and thoughtful responses from me regarding those ideas (Scharlatt 18). Inspirational appeal includes showing how the request meets that person’s goals and is clear and appealing for that person to support (Scharlatt 17-18). Collaboration includes my ability to provide the necessary resources to complete the task and reduction of difficulty to ensure success (Scharlatt 17-18). Apprising includes explanation of long-term benefits of opportunities to learn a new skill (Scharlatt 17-18).

...Reflective Essay on Negotiation Zhaokun Lin 26096137 1. Introduction Negotiation is a conservation between two or more people intended to reach an understanding to satisfy various interests, so we can see that negotiation is pretty important in our many aspects of life such as working, collaborating or just making a friend. The ability to know how to negotiation effectively will be the key point in our decision making and our future work. In the week 4 tutorial, we were required to participate in a role play activity on negotiation that involved three characters: a manager (Dale Williams) and two subordinates (Pat Taylor and Chris Johnson). I was allocated to act the manager and my two friends were my subordinates. Because of the company regulation, the employees in the company must wear safety glasses to avoid accident no matter what the department they are in and how their experience is. But there are two issues on me which are that a 20-year experience staff, Pat Taylor always does not wear safety glasses while Chris Johnson who is just distributed to my department because he has bad relationship with previous manager. The responsibility of me is to conduct a negotiation and let them wear safety glasses. I think it is a really interesting activities and allow me to learn many thing from it. 2. Things I have learnt from the role play activities 2.1 My personal tactics I am the person more comfortable using rationality tactics and pressure tactics, because I want to...

...administrative capacities were awesome, permitting him to grow and get hides basically for about nothing, making benefits on all parts of the work including transportation and wages. Morals this man did not have, making an organization on what seemed like morals promising to manage Indians genuinely and issue stocks to other, neither of which happened. Temperance and achievement have no relationship for Astor's situation. Astor had high achievement however poor or extremely humbler temperance. Indeed, even to the end of his life he contributed little to society. For Astor achievement was a temperance and disappointment was impossible. 2. In 1832, individuals trusted that the exchange of this product was what was bringing about the spread of cholera. This made individuals quit needing to exchange the product. At that point in 1837, the steamboat, conveyed smallpox up the Mississippi, murdering more than 17,000 individuals. Additionally, in the mid 1800s the pattern changed from hide to silk . The authentic strengths that embroiled these progressions were globalization, imbalance, country state and risk. 3. Monetarily, the products were light so it was less demanding for dealers to transport by donkeys, freight ships, and ships to eastern ports and after that to Europe. Benefits were tremendous. Administratively, with Astor, they don't have anything on him since he utilized an item that he knew merchants would acknowledge. That product was liquor....

...the objectives of both parties in the exchanges? Marilyn and Len are both looking out for their teams, and protecting their own best interests. Marilyn’s objective is to get Len to turnover five billion dollars worth of viable accounts. Len’s objective is to get Marilyn to accept the accounts he has chosen to give her, so that his team won’t incur a loss of commission. How would you describe the general "tone" of the exchanges? I would describe the general tone as a negative emotional tone in the first exchange. In the second exchange, the tone shifts from a negative to a more positive tone, as the negotiation evolves. In the end it appears that Marilyn changes the tone of the negotiations. Part B: Were Marilyn's objectives achieved in the first exchange? Not really. Marilyn stated her position expecting to maximize her resources and share of value, but failed to make her needs or interests known. Seeking to make the best possible case for his or her preferred perspective, Marilyn should have assembled some facts, or other evidence to persuade Len of the validity for her perspective. Arguments and frames began to shift, as the parties focused on refuting the other’s case. I believe, Marilyn’s argument suffered because of a lack of frame control. She failed to test different frames to determine if they fit the issue, or whether she was being improperly influenced by Len. Were Len's objectives achieved in the first exchange? Yes, I believe so. Len didn’t change...

...“w” amount of pesos at the spot exchange rate (indirect), and invest this “w” amount of pesos in the Mexican bond market have “w × (1 + YMEX)” pesos in one year, use the forward exchange rate (indirect) convert these pesos into dollar. In addition, the two holding period return should be equal according to the interest rate parity (Wharton.edu, ND). (1 + Yus) = Spot exchange rate× (1 + Ymex) × (1 / Forward exchange rate) (1 + Yus) = 9.5000 × (1 + 0.065) × (1 / 9.8707) (1 + Yus) = 9.5000 × 1.065 × 0.10131 (1 + Yus) = 1.0250 Yus = 1.0250 – 1.0000 = 0.0250 = 2.5% Therefore, Yus = 2.5%. It is equal to the U.S. One-year Bond Yield. This means Hamson’s conclusion about the U.S. dollar holding period return from the transaction is correct. b) To calculate the S1 expected exchange rate (pesos per dollar) one year from now, we use the formula below: (1 + %Δ Rus) = (1 + %Δ Sus) × [(1 + %Δ Pus) / (1 + %Δ Pmex)] = (S1 / S0) × [(1 + %Δ Pus) / (1 + %Δ Pmex)] (1 + 0.0000) = (S1 / 9.5000) × [(1 + 0.02) / (1 + 0.03)] 1.0000 = (S1 / 9.5000) × 0.9903 1.0098 = S1 / 9.5000 S1= 1.0098 × 9.5000 S1 = 9.5931 Rus = the real U.S. dollar exchange rate Si = the nominal spot exchange rate in period i %ΔP= the inflation rate (This is an indirect quotation) S1 = the expected exchange rate one year from now Thus, the expected exchange rate (pesos per dollar) one year from now is equals to...

...“movement”. The technical definition doesn’t restrict about the direction – whether you move up or down or just within what’s mentioned before as horizontal movement. Social Mobility is a term used in the objective comparison of economic or social states. Looking at the events around us, we can see that people care more about upward movement. When people talk about Social Mobility, they are likely referring to progress or development. Everyone wants to move up. Like what we commonly see in families. Almost everyone gives importance to good education. Parents keep reminding their children to be good in their studies so they can have good jobs. People want the opportunity to move up. People believe that progress is something that should be given in equal opportunities to us. People want to go up, as a group or as individuals. This is the reason why studies concerning Social Mobility stem to studies of inequality (Breen & Jonsson, 2005). As I see it, the society mostly measures the social class that one belongs to in financial terms. Social classification all boils down through...

...helped me out in those areas of different topics, but I just wish I had more time. I guess I would say that the answers wasn’t valid enough for me because it didn’t really give me a score because I made too many errors, so I don’t agree with that too much. I believe prejudice is difficult to measure because I don’t agree with it and don’t like the fact that it’s very big and can get worse if we don’t come together to get in one accord to help each other and make the world better to live in dealing with different people and feelings. I think measuring prejudice can be a tough thing to deal with and handle because of the many people that are prejudice, which are hurting and harming many situations and people that’s trying to make it while being equal to everyone regardless of what. I would have to take the test over to get a better score because I felt that wasn’t fair because I made too many errors to get a...
