Answer:

2.49%

Explanation:

The period 't' between 2015 and 1885 is:

t = 2015 -1885 = 130\ years

The annual rate 'r' at which the original $0.02 value has been compounded over 130 years to reach a value of $0.49 is determined by:

0.49 = 0.02*(1+r)^{130}\\r=\sqrt[130]{24.5}-1\\ r=0.0249 = 2.49\%

The cost of​ first-class postage has experienced an annual increase of 2.49% over this period.

Answer: $13000

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that Paula receives a nonliquidating distribution from Pell Corporation. Paula’s basis for her Pell stock is $10,000 and in exchange for her stock, Paula receives real estate with an $8,000 basis and a $15,000 fair market value that is subject to a $2,000 mortgage.

The amount of Paula’s basis in the real estate she received will be the net fair market value of the real Estate. It should be noted that this is the difference between the market value and the mortgage amount. This will be:

= $15,000 - $2,000

= $13,000
