Explanation:

A. Calculation to determine their tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit

First step is to calculate the Applicable Percentage

Applicable percentage= 100%-($386,600 - $326,600)/100,000

Applicable percentage=40%

Now let Calculate the tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit

GREATER OF BELOW:

Tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit=50% of W-2 wages ($40,000 × 50% × 40%)

Tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit=$8,000

Tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit=[ W-2 wages of ($40,000 × 25% × 40%)]+ [Unadjusted basis of qualified property of ($0 × 2.5% × 40%)]

Tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit=$4,000+$0

Tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit=$4,000

Therefore their tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit will be $8,000

2. Calculation to Determine their allowable QBI deduction for 2020

First step is to calculate the General QBI deduction

General QBI deduction [($300,000 × 20%)× 40%]

General QBI deduction=$24,000

Second step is to calculate the Reduction Ratio

Reduction ratio= ($386,600 - $326,600)/100,000

Reduction ratio=$60,000/100,000

Reduction ratio= 60%

Now let calculate the allowable QBI deduction for 2020

General QBI deduction $24,000

Less Reduction of W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit ($9,600)

[($24,000-$8,000)*60%]

2020 Allowable QBI deduction $14,400

($24,000-$9,600)

Therefore their allowable QBI deduction for 2020 will be $14,400

Lisa [10]

Answer:

D) Markets allocate goods effectively.

Explanation:

The two main principles of capitalism are that individuals are rational and act according to their best self interest, and markets will allocate goods and service more efficiently than governments.

In this case, the stores ran out of batteries and flashlights due to a sudden increase in the demand, but since the stores make a profit by selling batteries and flashlights, they immediately replenished their stocks and were able to satisfy all the customers' needs.

If the stores would have needed government permission for replenishing their inventories, they would have never done it so fast and so efficiently.

Depreciation = ( cost of the asset minus salvage value) divide by number of years.

Given data in the question: number of years = 10, cost of the asset = $124000, salvage value = $28000
