When property is sold in the middle of year, both the buyer and seller can deduct their pro rated portion of the property tax.
The property taxes are based on the assessed value of the property. So when theproperty taxis pro rated at the time of the transfer, both the buyer and seller can deduct their pro rated portion of the property tax.
Buyer and seller prorations are often applied during real estate closing transactions to divide the cost of expenses like property taxes. Thus, the buyer gets a deduction for the prorated amount of property tax due after closing, and the seller gets the same deduction for the taxes.
Hence, both the buyer and seller receives the deduction for the real property tax.
According to the law of comparative advantage, a person or a country has a comparative advantage in producing a commodity if the opportunity cost of producing that good as compared to the other commodity is lower than the other country.
For example:
There are two countries; Country A and Country B. There are two goods to be produced; Computer and bottles.
Suppose the opportunity cost of producing a computer in Country A is 4 bottles and the opportunity cost of producing a computer in Country B is 6 bottles.
Therefore, the Country A has a comparative advantage in producing computers because of the lower opportunity cost of producing it.
