Answer:

C:Oligopolies involve more than one company while monopolies involve only one.

Explanation:

A monopoly is a market structure with one supplier serving a very large market. In a monopoly, a single firm sells to many buyers. The product or service offered by a monopoly has no close substitutes. Customers have no choice but to buy from the only firm providing the product or service. Monopolies may result from government policy or very restrictive barriers of entry.

An oligopoly is a market structure where very few firms dominated the market . It when four or five firms control the majority market share of a very large market. There could be other firms with very little market share. Firms in an oligopoly market may sell homogeneous or differentiated products. The few firms dominating the industry collaborate to profit from the market.

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.
