Answer:
If you by a condo, you can deduct your mortgage interests from your gross income, property taxes are also deductible, and you can also get a homestead exemption on your condo since it is your home.
Co-ops on the other hand are corporations that own a building, and you own shares of that corporation. It is very difficult and only under certain circumstances, you can deduct mortgage interest expenses on a co-op, but generally not. You cannot deduct property taxes since you do not own any property yourself and you cannot claim a homestead exemption for a co-op for the same reason.
That is why co-ops are usually cheaper than condos.
Answer:
B. 100 shares of ABC preferred stock
Explanation:
Shares are ownership stakes of a company that are given out to individuals who contribute to capital base of a company.
Preference shares are those whose owners recieve preference in payment of dividends, a fixed dividend is paid to them.
Ordinary shares recieve less preference when dividend is paid, usually coming last in divedend payment.
In this scenario ABC has decided to pay 10% stock dividend. This will be paid to ordinary share holders.
So the person with 100 preference shares will have 100 preference shares
10% of par value of $100 is 0.1 * 100= $10
Number of shares are 100 so the value is now 100 * $10 = $1,000
Since the conversion rate of preference to ordinary shares is 10:1
Number of preference shares= 1,000 ÷ 10= 100 preference shares
Answer:
The total income tax expense for 2019 =152.000. Is not available in the options given by the exercise.
Explanation:
- Tax on insurance expense deductible for accounting purposes in 2019= 70000*40%=28.000
- Income tax expense for 2019 = 180.000-28.000=152.000
Answer: $8500
Explanation:
Since the total amount of estimated tax liability for 2018 is $18000 and the tax withholding is $9500$, then the balance tax payable for 2018 will be:
= $18000 - $9500
= $8500
Therefore, the minimum amount of total estimated tax that Randy must pay in 2018 in order to avoid a penalty for underpayment of estimated taxes will be $8500
