If you are single, head of household or married filing separately, your contribution limit of $5,500 begins to phase out when your modified AGI reaches $61,000 and is zero beginning at $71,000. If you are married, filing jointly, or a qualified widow or widower, your contribution limit of $5,500 begins to phase out when your modified AGI reaches $98000 and is zero beginning at $118,000. So since they dont have an income limitation and are not covered by another pension plan, they both should be able to contribute $5,500 for a combined result of $11,000 to a Roth IRA

Backstreets Co. recently acquired all of Jungleland Inc.’s net assets in a business acquisition. The cash purchase price was $6.

sveta [45]

Answer:

The goodwill is $1.1 million

Explanation:

In this question, first we have to compute the net asset which is shown below:

Net asset = Total asset - total liabilities

where,

Total asset = Land + building + inventory

= $1.7 million + $3.4 million + $2.2 million

= $7.3 million

And, the total liabilities = long term note payable = $1.5 million

So, the net asset would equal to

= $7.3 million - $1.5 million

= $5.8 million

Now the goodwill equal to

= Cash purchase price - net asset

= $6.8 million - $5.8 million

= $1.0 million
