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.

Not going to give a full solution, but with every tree they remove, they plant a new tree and they can turn to more Eco-friendly means of manufacturing, such as using non-hazardous materials.

Alex

Answer:

The withdrawals will be of  $ 11,379.014 per month

Explanation:

Future value of the annuities:

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C         750.00

time 360(30 years x 12 monhs per year)

rate 0.008333333 (10% / 12 months)

750 \times \frac{1-(1+0.00833)^{-360} }{0.008333} = PV\\

PV $1,695,365.9436

C \times \frac{(1+r)^{time} -1}{rate} = PV\\

C         250.00

time 360 (30 years x 12 monhs per year)

rate             0.005 (6% / 12 months)

250 \times \frac{(1+0.005)^{360} -1}{0.005} = PV\\

PV $251,128.7606

Total 1,695,365.84 + 251,128.76 = 1.946.494,6‬

and from here we withdraw for 25 years:

PV \div \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = C\\

PV 1,946,495

time 300 (25 years x 12 months)

rate 0.004166667 (5% / 12 months)

1946494.6 \div \frac{1-(1+0.004167)^{-300} }{0.004167} = C\\

C  $ 11,379.014
