That companies gain a competitive advantage by giving customers focus, cost leadership, and differentiation

<h3>What is competitive advantage?</h3>

A firm seeks a competitive advantage when it aims to surpass its rivals in terms of profitability. An organization must be able to communicate to its chosen target market that it has a higher comparative or differential value than its rivals in order to establish and retain a competitive advantage. For instance, a business is likely to have a competitive advantage if it advertises a product at a lower price than a similar product from a rival. The same holds true if the marketed item is more expensive but has special characteristics that buyers are ready to pay for.

The SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analytical technique is credited to Albert Humphrey at the Stanford Research Institute. Porter's Five Forces is an alternative model that helps businesses understand their position within a competitive landscape.

Troy (single) purchased a home in Hopkinton, MA, on January 1,2007, for $300,000. He sold the home on January 1, 2016, for$320,0

Kryger [21]

Answer:

Person T has rented home for the period of 1st January 2007 to 31st December 2011 for principal purpose. Person T used the home for living from the date 1st January 2012 to 31st December 2012. From 1st January 2013 to 31st December 2013. T rented premises. Afterward. Person T used the home for living from the date 1st January 2014 to 31st December 2012. Accumulated depreciation on the same is SO.

1st January 2007 to 31st December 2011- Rented for 5 years

1st January 2012 to 31st December 2012 — Principal resident for 1 year 1st January 2013 to 31st December 2013- Rented for 1 year

1st January 2013 to 31st December 2016 — Principal resident for 4 years

Person T is successful in criteria of user test and ownership tests. As Person T has used the home for a minimum two years out of the last five years from the date of sale. Person T has used home for the principal residence for 5 years and 6 years as a rented resident. Hence allowance of gain should be in proportion basis.

Calculation of percentage of gain for which Person T is eligible for an exemption from paying tax:

Exemption = (Principal residence year/Total no.of years) × 100

Exemption = (5/11) × 100

Exemption = 45.45%

Hence, 45.45% is exempted from tax.

Calculation of amount for which Person T is eligible for an exemption from paying tax

Exempted amount = Tax Exemption x Capital gain

= 45.45% × $20,000

= $9,090

Hence, the eligible amount of exemption is $9,090.

Calculation of amount for Person T is not eligible for an exception from paying tax

Not exempted amount = Total profit - Exempted amount

Not exempted amount = $20,000 - $9,090

Not exempted amount = $10,910

Hence. Person T can claim exemption of capital gain for $9.090 from her total taxable income.
