Answer:
The risk of recession will most likely cause the company's shareholders to demand a higher return.
Explanation:
If the company loses some customers, more might be attracted to the company. However, if the prices drop, the price might stay low and cause the financial value of stock to drop. Once the stock drops, the entire company loses money along with their stock, which is determined by their profit and loss.
Answer:
1. Going concern
2. Economic entity
3. Monetary unit
4. Periodicitys
Explanation:
1. Since Jumbo's Restaurant is planning to close, the assumption of continuity (going concern) is no more applicable. This should be disclosed. Instead asset was still recorded at historical price which is misleading.
2. Gorloks Tax Services is an economic entity, and the property and assets of owners are not considered to be for the business. In this case the boat Sam bought was wrongly reported as an asset of the company.
3. Claim Jumpers when reporting the 5 trucks purchased must include a monetary value for them. The assumption of monetary unit states that all items reported on the balance sheet must be expressed in monetary terms.
4. Cobbler's Etc violated the assumption of periodicity which states the financial position of the business must be declared in a particular accounting period. Accounting period can monthly, quarterly, biannually, and yearly. The business should choose and accounting period and ensure financial position is reported for each of them. In this case financial reporting is not consistent with reporting happening after 14 months and before that 18 months.

Vertical integration is a business strategy whereby a business acquires ownership or controls its suppliers, distributors, or retail locations to control its value or supply chain.
It may also be said that vertical integration has to do with the purchase of a part of all of the production or sales process that was previously outsourced, to have it done in-house.
An example of companies who have done this are:
1. Apple
2. Netflix
3. Comcast (Which acquired NBC)

- purchasing their suppliers to reduce the costs of manufacturing or
- controlling the distribution process that is, owning and controlling the warehousing and delivery of their products etc.
Answer:
a. Gordon made a gift when the real estate was purchased of <u>$450,000</u> to Fawn.
Since Gordon gave 50% of the real estate to his sister as a gift when he purchased it, the gift must be valued at the time it happened ($900,000 x 50%)
b. Gordon's estate must include <u>$2,900,000</u> as to the property.
Gordon purchased all the real estate by himself, so his estate must include the value of the whole property.
c. How would the estate tax consequences change if it was Fawn (not Gordon) who died?
Fawn's estate would include <u>$0</u> as to the property.
Since Fawn didn't buy the property, her estate cannot include any amount of it.
