Answer:
Beneficiary recognized gain is $510000.
Explanation:
The amount paid by the decedent for the stock = $280000
The market value of the stock at the time of death = $500000
The selling price or the amount received by the beneficiary by the sell of stock = $510000
Since the recognized gain is calculated by subtracting the amount paid by the person to buy the stock from the amount that he receives from the sale of stock. But in this case, the beneficiary pays zero for the stock but gets all the money after selling.
Beneficiary recognized gain = amount received from the sell – the amount paid by the beneficiary.
= $510000 – 0
= $510000
Answer:
A) anchoring bias
Explanation:
Anchoring bias refers to a common mistake of relying heavily on the first information that we get, or in this case, the first information that we look for.
We all tend to suffer from anchoring bias, that is why it is one of the oldest sales techniques. Everyone has seen an ad that states a before price and a discount price. If the difference between the before price and the after price are significant, then we will consider that it is a bargain. Or a salesperson first shows us an expensive product, and then shows us a similar but lower priced product, we tend to believe the second product is cheap.
When most of us look for a job, of course we focus on the salary, since we want to work to earn money. But only focusing on the salary is seeing only half the picture, although the most important half. Other associated benefits or costs are usually not considered, e.g. a high paying job might also require dressing formally or spending a lot of time travelling.
