Answer:
a. Amber Corporation donated inventory of clothing (basis of $138,500, fair market value of $173,125) to a qualified charitable organization that operates homeless shelters.
- charitable donations are valued at fair market value, in this case that equals $173,125
b. Brass Corporation donated stock held as an investment to Western College (a qualified organization). Brass acquired the stock three years ago for $70,800, and the fair market value on the date of the contribution is $113,280. Western College plans on selling the stock.
- Again, we must use the fair market value to record donations, in this case = $113,280.
c. Ruby Corporation donates a sculpture held as an investment and worth $200,800 to a local museum (a qualified organization), which exhibits the sculpture. Ruby acquired the sculpture four years ago for $80,320.
- use fair market once more, = $200,800
Explanation:
When you donate assets to qualifying charities, it is always better to do it by donating the itself, not selling it before and then giving the money. If you sell the asset, you will owe capital gains taxes (either long or short term). By donating the asset directly, you avoid capital gains taxes.
Answer:
a) Calculate Roquan’s deduction for qualified business income.
qualified business deduction:
- 20% of qualified business income AND less than 20% of total income
- Since Roquan is a single filer, his AGI cannot exceed $213,300.
Roquan's QBI deduction = 20% x QBI = 20% x $90,000 = $18,000
b) Since Roquan's income is higher than $213,300, then he is not allowed any QBI deduction.
Answer:
Explanation:
D1 = $1(1+0.25) = 1.25
D2 = $1.25(1+0.25) = 1.5625
D3 = $1.5625(1+0.25) = 1.953
D4 = $1.953(1+0.25) = $2.05
Current value = P0 =
= 1.25/(1+0.18) + 1.5625/(1+0.18)^2 + 1.953/(1+0.18)^3 + 2.05/(0.18-0.05) * (1+0.18)^(-3) =
=$12.96
Current value of the stock is 12.96
