Answer:
He should set a grantor retained annuity trust (GRAT).
Explanation:
Mr. Bailey would be the grantor that transfers the asset into the GRAT, but retains the right to receive annuity payments for a number of years. The IRS has set a minimum annuity corresponding to the Section 7520 rate, during the last two years the rate has varied from 2-3%. When the trust expires (pays all the annuities), the beneficiary gets the asset tax free.
Since the grantor is giving up an asset but in exchange is receiving an annuity form it, there is no applicable gift tax, it is called a zeroed-out GRAT.
This type of grant makes sense only if the grantor believes that the future value of the asset will be higher than the current value, since the annuity is based on the current value. In this case, Mr. Bailey would receive payments based on a $200,000 value, but the property's fair market value is already higher and should increase as time passes.

Game theory suggests that competing firms in an oligopolistic industry may be reluctant to change prices because they anticipate that rivals will match price cuts but ignore price increases.
<h3>What is Game theory?</h3>
Game theory looks at the interactions between participants in a competitive game and calculates the best choice for the player.
Dominant strategy is the best option for a player regardless of what the other player is playing. Nash equilibrium is the best outcome for players where no player has an incentive to change their decisions.
Here are the options:
. too quick to raise prices because they will fail to anticipate that rivals may gain market shares.
b. reluctant to change prices because they anticipate that rivals will match price cuts but ignore price increases
c. reluctant to change prices because they anticipate that rivals will ignore price cuts but match price increases
d. too quick to cut prices because they fail to anticipate that rivals may also cut their prices.

Answer:
Increase by $5000
Explanation:
The United States Central Bank or the Federal Reserve (Fed) is responsible for controlling money supply in the United States as well as the activities of the commercial banks. This control can be carried out through a particular activity known as the Open Market Operations (OPO). This activity could be in form of buying or selling securities in the market.
According to the question, the 20% required reserve ratio means the banks are to maintain 20% of their total deposits. This means that a market purchase by the Fed of $1000 will increase the money supply by 5 times the amount bought by the Fed (20% is 1/5 of 100%).
The increase is calculated as $1,000 x 5 = $5,000
Answer:
a.
Break even sales in units = 93000 Units
b.
Sales in units required for Target Income = 118000 units
Explanation:
a. Anticipated Break even sales in units
The break even in units is the number of units that a business must sell in order to for its total revenue to be equal to total costs and for it to break even. The break even in units is calculated as follows,
Break even in units = Fixed Costs / Contribution margin per unit
Where,
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
Break even sales in units = 1860000 / (125 - 105)
Break even sales in units = 93000 Units
b. Operating income
To calculate the number of units required to earn a certain income or profit, we simply use the break even equation and add the income or profit amount required in the fixed cost. Thus the sales in units required to earn an operating income of $500000 is,
Sales in units required for Target Income = (1860000 + 500000) / (125 - 105)
Sales in units required for Target Income = 118000 units
