The AS curve shifts to the left.

The Consumer Confidence Index is an economic indicator published by various organizations in several countries. Simply put, rising consumer confidence is an indication of the economic growth that consumers are spending and an increase in consumption.

When the latest index exceeds 100, consumers will be more confident than in 1985. Below 100, consumers are less confident than they were then.

Consumer confidence is an economic indicator. It measures how confident consumers are about the general state of the economy. It also measures how confident people are about income stability. Their self-confidence influences not only their financial decisions but their spending activities.

Jamie is single. In 2020, she reported $108,000 of taxable income, including a long-term capital gain of $5,800. What is her gro
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:Jamie's gross tax liability is $19,572.50

Explanation:

Since Jamie is single with taxable income of $108,000 which  includes $5,800 long term capital gain.

Therefore  $102,200 (108,000 -5,800) will be taxed under normal tax rates and $5,800 would be under long term capital gain tax rate.

With regards the 2020 tax schedule,  Since her ordinary income is  $102,200, Jamie falls under 24% rate tax bracket under filing for single status.

qd

Tax liability on ordinary income =$14,382.50 plus 24% of any income you made above $84,200

14,382.50 + 0.24 (102,200 - 84,200)

14,382.50 + 0.24 x 18000

                 = 14,382.50 + 4,320

                 = $18,702.50

Also, according to her income, longterm capital gain tax applicable in 2020 is 15%

Tax on long term capital gain = 5,800 × 0.15

                                              = $870

Jamie's gross tax liability is $18,702.50 + 870 = $19,572.50

Hoochie [10]

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $12,000

Salvage value= $2,000

Useful life= 5 years

<u>To calculate the depreciation expense under the double-declining balance, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]

2019:

Annual depreaciation= 2*[(12,000 - 2,000) / 5]

Annual depreaciation= 4,000

2020:

Annual depreaciation= 2*[(10,000 - 4,000) / 5]

Annual depreaciation= $2,400

Read and compare the following two scenarios. Explain why the court should or should not pierce the corporate veil in each scena
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Piercing the Corporate Veil:

1. Smith Services, Inc. and Laker Express:  With the given facts, Smith Services is still in operation by the alter ego, since Smith - the sole owner, has continued to provide trucking services.  Smith should be able to pay for the debts it owed Laker Express.  The question is: why was Smith Services, Inc. dissolved in the first place when the sole owner could continue privately to do the same business?  Is there element of fraud involved, or was it trying to avoid its obligations?  It seems that the dissolution was an effort to avoid liabilities and not because of impaired ability to operate the business because its own debtors did not pay for services on several contracts.  Another question is: during the dissolution or liquidation of Smith Services, Inc. were other creditors not settled and where was Laker Express then?

However, it appears that the dissolution was just to avoid liability, especially the $35,000 debt owed to Laker Express for fuel purchases.

Therefore, in this situation where it seems that the corporate form is ignored, commingling of assets exists, and that Smith Services, Inc. is an instrumentality for Tony Smith, I will advise that the corporate veil be lifted.  Tony Smith should be held liable for the business debts of Smith Services, Inc. because he has continued to use the assets of Smith Services, Inc. to run a sole proprietorship in the same line of business.  However, recourse must be had to the State laws on piercing the corporate veil.

2. Country Contractors, Inc. & Westside Storage of Indianapolis:

Since Country Contractors, Inc and the Westside Storage are based in Indiana, the decision to pierce the corporate veil should be based on the eight factors that are applicable for piercing the veil:  They include: undercapitalization;  absence of corporate records;  fraudulent representation by corporation shareholders or directors;  use of the corporation to promote fraud, injustice or illegal activities;  payment by the corporation of individual obligations;  commingling of assets and affairs;  failure to observe required corporate formalities; or  other shareholder acts or conduct ignoring, controlling, or manipulating the corporate form.

But, the facts in this case do not support that any of the factors had been breached.

So, I do not support that Songers are personally liable for Country's failure to complete its contract.

Explanation:

The corporate veil is an important instrument for protecting shareholders of corporations from being held liable for the liabilities of the corporation in their individual and personal capacities.  Corporate veil ensures that the entity is treated as a separate entity from its shareholders.  It is a protection offered by law to encourage private enterprise and ensure that the debts of corporate bodies are not tagged to the individual shareholders.  It is this veil that ensures the limited liability concept, whereby, the shareholders could only lose their capital contributions in case of business failure or dissolution.

Piercing the corporate veil is a court decision to lift the veil that separates the shareholders of corporation from their shareholders.  There are special factors that must be met for courts to pierce the corporate veil and they do it reluctantly.
