Answer:
a.
2021 = $50,000
2022 = $45,000
b.
2021 = $275,000
2022 = $0
Explanation:
a. Sum-of-the-years'-digits.
Sum of digits for the 10 years will be :
Year 1 = 10
Year 2 = 9
Year 3 = 8
Year 4 = 7
Year 5 = 6
Year 6 = 5
Year 7 = 4
Year 8 = 3
Year 9 = 2
Year 10 = 1
Sum of Digits = 55
therefore,
2021 depreciation = 10/55 x ($295,000 - $20,000)
= $50,000
2022 depreciation = 9/55 x ($295,000 - $20,000)
= $45,000
b. One hundred fifty percent declining balance.
2021 depreciation = 150% x ($295,000 - $20,000)
= $412,500
<em>Can not be charged above book value of $275,000</em>
2022 depreciation = 150% x ($295,000 - $20,000- $412,500)
= $0
Answer:
C. What the program will ultimately cost the federal government
Explanation:
The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 was an attempt to make improvements or amendments to the Social Security Act. It radically changed the playing field for private plans participating in the Medicare program by substantially raising monthly payment rates in an effort to stabilize the market and reverse the decline in benefit generosity. It also provided for voluntary prescription drugs under the medicare program. However, the utilization and cost of the program skyrocketed as soon as the funding source was established. It has remained unknown what the program will ultimately cost the federal government, no wonder the current administration under Trump wants to turn it upside down.
Answer:
The customer's tax basis is:
$20,000.
Explanation:
The non-recourse notes of $20,000 do not provide basis for the customer's tax. Since the partnership cannot recover beyond the secured property, a non-recourse note is not a qualified basis. IRS Section 752 rules apply to non-recourse liabilities. A non-recourse note provides the basis for partnership distributions but generally do not provide basis for at-risk rules.
