Answer:

$50,000

Explanation:

Recognized gain can be calculated by deducting the exclusion available from the realized gain. To qualify for exclusion from the realized gain Sanders has met all the requirements of exclusion.

NOTE: Requirments for exclusion are given at the end of solution

DATA

Sale proceeds = $500,000

Cost basis = $200,000

exclusion available for single person = $250,000

Gain =?

Calculation

Realized gain on sale of home = Sale proceeds –  Cost basis

Realized gain on sale of home = $500,000 - $200,000

Realized gain on sale of home =  $300,000

Recognized gain = Realized gain - exclusion available

Recognized gain = $300,000 - $250,000

Recognized gain = $50,000

Requirements for exclusion

1. You've owned the home for two of the last five years.  

2. You used the home as your principal residence for two of the last five years.

3. You haven't used the exclusion on another property sale within the last two years.

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Balance Sheets    

2020          2019                Deviation  

$292,050 $128,700  $163,350        Cash

$163,350   Cash Flow Ind Method  

$264,000   Net Income  

$28,050   Depreciation  

-$49,500   Dividends  

$36,300   Investments  

$8,250           Accounts Receivable  

-$28,050   Current Liabilities  

-$95,700   Property and Equipment  

Explanation:

To prepare the statement of cashflow it's necessary to calculate the difference between the balance on each year.

First we need the value of the Net Income and Depreciation of the year as initial value of the cash flow ($264,000+$28,050),  

then we deduct the amount of dividends paid during the year (-$49,500).  

Then we begin to calculate the Assets section, everytime that the Assets are higher than the past year we have to put money  

from the cash flow to compensate the assets increase and vice versa, with exception of the Cash Accounts that we are calculating.

Per Example: Accounts Receivable +$8,250 and Investments +$36,300.

Property decreased Cash flow which means that we buy some assets (-$97,500 )

Then with the Liabilities we do the same but in this case an increase in the liabilities means we have more money to our cash flow,

per example, an increase in the accounts payable means that we paid less to our suppliers so we have the money in the cash accounts.  

Total Current Liabilities decrease $28,050 , we paid more liabilities than the past year, so we have to use cash.  

To complete the cash flow statement  it's necessary that the amount of the statement be equal to the deviation in the cash account between the past year and the current one

Which of the following are necessary conditions for successful price discrimination?
mixer [17]

Answer:

d. at least two different markets with different price elasticities of demand

Explanation:

The theory of microeconomics about price differentiation is based on the concept of elasticity of demand. Price elasticity of demand is a measure of the sensitivity of demand for a good or service to changes in the price of that product. We say that the price elasticity of demand is elastic when a percentage change in the price of this good has major impacts on demand. On the contrary, we say that the price elasticity of demand is inelastic when variations in the price of goods have little or no influence on demand.

For price discrimination to take place, the offeror must be able to sell the same product at different prices to at least two different groups. This will depend on the price elasticity of consumer demand for the good in each of the markets. Thus, if one group is less elastic than the other, the offeror will be able to sell the goods at different prices.

An example: air market. Consumers are often more price sensitive when traveling for tourism than for business. Thus, a higher price may be charged to executives. which has lower price elasticity of demand than tourists.
