Which type of economy best represents individual preferences and a lack of government interference?
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Market

Explanation:

A market economy also is known as a free economy

In a market economy,  individuals and businesses have the freedom to choose what they will buy or sell. They also determine the quantities, time, and the prices of the goods and services produced.  

In the market economy, the government and the market are separated. It means that the government does not interfere with the operations of the market. Self-interests drive Individuals' and firms' actions. The economy will have a  wide range of goods and services which offer customer options when buying.

Market economies are a hypothesis. No country in the world operates a pure market economy. The US economy, which gives buyers and sellers the freedom to choose, has some government interfere in the form of regulation.

Sissie owns two items of business equipment. Both were purchased in 2015 for $100,000, both have a 7-year MACRS recovery period,
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Sissie must report both operations separately, even though the gain in one of them does offset the loss on the other:

  • selling of equipment A: reported gain (increased ordinary income) of $22,510 ($60,000 - $37,490)
  • selling of equipment B: reported ordinary loss of $14,490 ($23,000 - $37,490)

The effect of both transactions is a net gain of $8,020 that will increase Sissie's ordinary income.

Explanation:

Both assets are § 1231 assets, and § 1245 allows deprecation recapture on the sale of equipment A, so the gain must be considered ordinary income. The loss on the sale of equipment B is a § 1231 loss which must be treated as an ordinary loss.
