I just started at a larger retail company as a recent college graduate with the position of assistant manager. I work with about 20 other people.

Currently I am in training and won't be in the store that I will be working at. My question is, what is considered normal socialization with my co-workers? What is expected out of an assistant manager at a retail company in terms of how he gets along with his co-workers and the people he supervises?

I realize that it is important that the manager is not friends with his co-workers. But really, when is that line crossed? I try to avoid touching and talking about personal things.

I will be inheriting $11,000 from my grandparents' estate in the near future. The money is revenue from stocks, and will be evenly distributed 4 ways. Taxes have already been taken out, and the money has been put in to a bank account in the name of the estate. Can I receive the full $11,000 without it being taxed again, or should I take some of it this year and the rest next year?

I work at a CPA firm and I paid to become a QuickBooks ProAdvisor, out of my pocket, and completed the course on my own time to become certified.

Things have been slow at work and my boss asked me to load the company QuickBooks onto another employees computer and to give her some pointers on how to use QuickBooks.

Am I wrong to not want to show her how to use QuickBooks? Am I being selfish?

I became certified hoping to get more work - which I have - and hopefully to get a raise - which I haven't. I wanted to find a "nitch" were I could excel in something that would be beneficial to the office and our clients.

Lets say you buy a home for $100,000 thats worth $200,000, what is the most reliable, cost effective, and efficient method to pull out the equity into cash? What is the guaranteed way to do this if possible? Is it possible at closing, or a HELOC after closing, or cash from the seller, or a cash out refinance? most importantly, it has to be legal. thanks

The Work in Process inventory account of a manufacturing company shows a balance of $2,400 at the end of an accounting period. The job cost sheets of the two uncompleted jobs show charges of $400 and $200 for direct materials, and charges of $300 and $500 for direct labor. From this information, it appears that the company is using a predetermined overhead rate, as a percentage of direct labor costs, of??

I can't figure this out.

Millions of applications filled out, your resume is in every companies hands and 10 years experience + college... yet can't find a job. Common phrase "Sorry, your over qualified for the positions we have open." What does that mean? Do companies want morons working for them to save on the overhead cost?

I just got a notification in the mail that my state tax forms were filed incorrectly. If I agree to the money due, I owe Illinois an additional $821.36 (which includes late payment and interest). But if I disagree, attach my W-2 as proof and send it in. However, I don't know if I'm right or wrong...

My W-2 form has $739.34 in box 17, called State Income Tax. Does that mean I owe them that money or are they wrong in making that change?

I don't understand taxes very well...there's gotta be a better system then this.

Thanks for your answers!

My husband I purchased a vehicle in October of 2006 and we purchased it for $33,000.00, we now owe about $31,000.00 and the car is worth about $20,000.00, so we are upside down about $11,000.00. We desperatly need to purchase a different car. Is there such a thing called car bankruptcy? We would like to file bankruptcy, but the only thing we own is the car and a couple of credit cards... it's not like we own a house or anything. What would we have to do? How would we go about it?! If we file bankruptcy (for anyone of you that have) how does it affect you in the long-term (buying a house, buying a different car we can afford, etc) My husband has EXCELLENT credit and we are afraid it will ruin his credit, but we would honestly like to start over and start fresh. What would you suggest? What is the BEST alternative to get out of this car and out of this negative equity?! Any suggestions would help, even better if you have been through this...
