lawyer [7]

Answer: c. taxes on capital gains can be timed

Explanation:

Capital gains represent an appreciation in the value of a security therefore they bring in profit to the owners of that security. Capital gains are not taxed until the owner sells the security which means that these taxes can be timed by the owner who can decide to sell at specific times to reduce their tax bill.

This is different from dividends that are taxed as soon as the company declares them. The investors have no say as to the tax timing so they will prefer capital gains where they have some form of control.

d. none of the above

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Let suppose the value of property is 100 dollars currently.

The price of a certain property increased by 10% in the first year, means the value of property at this point is (100 *1.1) 110 dollars.

In the second year the value of property decreases by 20% mean the value of property at this point is (110*0.80) 88 dollars, that is 80% of previous value determine.

In the third year the value of property increases by 25% mean the value of property at this point is (88*1.25) 110 dollars that is 25% more than previous value determine.
