Answer:

b. 800,000

Explanation:

Step 1; Calcualate Excess Valuation of Surge in Piani's Consolidated Balance Sheet

Surge's balance sheet as at November 30, 2013 showed a book value of $8,000,000

However, Piani Purchased 400,000 Shares of Surge's  Outstanding Common Stock at $25 each. The total Cost therefore to Piani is

$25× 400,000= $10,000,000

The difference between Surge's book value and Piani's valuation of Surge is

Surge's value in Piani- Surge's book value

$10,000,000-$8,000,000= $2,000,000

Step 2: Calculate the Difference between the Excess Property Fair Value and the Step One Total to arrive at the Goodwill

Out of the $2,000,000; $1,200,000 represents the excess of the fair value of Surge's  Property, Plant and Equipment on November 30, 2013.

The Goodwill Value Therefore is

The difference in Surge's Stock Valuation- Excess Fair Value of Surge's Property, Plant and Equipment

= $2,000,000-$1, 200,000

=$800,000

Answer:

  • Income = $10,000
  • Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) Deduction = $0
  • Claim $10,000 as itemized deduction due to expenses

Explanation:

The activity being a hubby does not exempt it from tax so the $10,000 will be included as income for tax purposes and there will be no deduction for this from the AGI.

She can however, claim her expenses as itemized deductions. There is no tax on interest payment so expenses deducted are:

= 4,000 + 6,500 - 500

= $10,000
