Answer:

a. In consideration for her one-half interest in their personal residence, Kirby will transfer to Nell stock with a value of $200,000 and $50,000 of cash. Kirby's cost of the stock was $150,000, and the value of the personal residence is $500,000. They purchased the residence three years ago for $300,000.

Nell's basis for the stock is <u>$150,000</u>

Kirby's basis in the house is <u>$300,000</u>

The transfer of property due to divorce is nontaxable. The $50,000 that Nell receives is generally considered alimony (for tax purposes).

b. Nell will receive $1,000 per month for 120 months. If she dies before receiving all 120 payments, the remaining payments will be made to her estate.

The payments <u>NOT QUALIFY</u> as alimony and are <u>EXCLUDED FROM</u> Nell's gross income as they are received.

The TC&JA changed alimony rules and made them not deductible for the spouse that gives it, and not taxable for the spouse that receives it. It now works in a similar manner than child support. It doesn't make any difference now if payments are alimony or not.

c. Nell is to have custody of their 12-year-old son, Bobby. She is to receive $1,200 per month until Bobby (1) dies or (2) attains age 21 (whichever occurs first). After either of these events occurs, Nell will receive only $300 per month for the remainder of her life.

<u>$300</u> per month is alimony that is <u>EXCLUDED FROM</u> Nell's gross income, and the remaining <u>$900</u> per month is considered​ <u>CHILD SUPPORT</u> and is <u>NONTAXABLE</u> to Nell.

Again, the TC&JA changed the rules, so alimony received is not taxable.

Suppose that market demand is Q = 660 – 12P and marginal cost is MC = 5. The consumer surplus in a perfectly competitive market
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: 15000; 3750

Explanation:

From the question,

Q = 660 – 12P

MC = 5

The consumer surplus in a perfectly competitive market will be:

P = MC

Therefore, P = 5

Q = 660 - 12P = 660 - 12(5) = 660 - 60 = 600

Consumer surplus = 1/2 × (55 - 5) (600)

= 1/2 × 50 × 600

= 15,000

For monopoly, MR = MC

Total Revenue = P × Q

Since Q= 660 - 12P

P = (660 - Q)/12

TR = P × Q

= (660 - Q)/12 × Q

= (660Q- Q²)/12 × Q

MR = (660 - 2Q)/12

MR = MC

(660 - 2Q)/12 = 5

(660 - 2Q) = 5 × 12

660 - 2Q = 60

2Q = 660 - 60

2Q = 600

Q = 600/2

Q= 300

Since P =(660 - Q)/12

= (660 - 300)/12

= 360/12

= 30

Consumer surplus = 1/2 × (55 - 30) (30)

= 1/2 × 25 × 300

= 3750

Therefore, the answer is 15000; 3750

Ashley Inc.’s total value is $950 million. Its balance sheet shows $100 million of accounts payable, $100 million of notes payab
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer: $7.50

Explanation:

Given that,

Total value = $950 million

Accounts payable = $100 million

Notes payable = $100 million

Long-term debt = $200 million

common equity = $200 million

shares of common stock = 100 million

Value of equity = Value of firm - Value of preferred stock - Value of long term debt.

                         = $950 million - 0 - $200 million

                         = $750 million

Value\ of\ stock = \frac{Value\ of\ equity}{Number\ of\ shares}

Value\ of\ stock = \frac{750}{100}

                                 = $7.50
