Answer:

A skilled  broker will be right at  60% of time compared to 50%

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Now,

Let X  be represented as = number of correct predictions/outcomes

X foll binomial distribution with n = 3 and p = 0.5 for broker who use a toss coin

Thus,

P(X = 3) = p^3 = 0.5^3 which gives us  = 0.125

So,

For a skilled broker, Y goes with the binomial distribution with n = 3 and p is = 0.6

Then,

P(Y = 3) = 0.6^3 = 0.216

We can therefore conclude who is skilled broker by making large number of observations

Hence, we say that a skilled broker will be correct 60% of time compared to 50% .

Eric and Katie, who are married, jointly own a house in which they have resided for the past 17 years. They sell the house for $
Elodia [21]

Answer:

C) $0 $285,000

Explanation:

The §121 exclusion establishes that homeowners can exclude from their capital gains taxes the sale of their property for a maximum of $250,000 gain (or $500,000 for joint filers) if they meet two criteria:

  • they owned the property for at last 5 years
  • they use the property as main residence for at least 2 years (they can aggregate time periods).

So if Eric and Katie use the §121 exclusion they wouldn't pay any capital gains tax ($500,000 is higher than $375,000).

If they decide to forgo the §121 exclusion, then they will have to pay taxes for a gain of:

capital gain = net sale price - asst basis

capital gain = ($375,000 - $10,000) - $80,000 = $365,000 - $80,000 = $285,000
