Answer:

(c) 280%

Explanation:

Given that

Number of shares purchased = 100 shares

Purchase cost of a share = 49 ÷ 8

Sale price of a share = $24

And, brokerage paid = 2%

Now the purchase cost is

= 100 shares × 49 ÷ 8 + 2% × 100 shares × 49 ÷ 8

= $612.5 + 0.02 ×$612.50

= $624.75

And, the income amount arise from the sales is

= $24 × 100 - 2% of $2,400

= $2,400 - $48

= $2,352

Now the percentage gain on the investment is

= (Income - purchase amount invested)  ÷ (Purchase amount invested) × 100

= ($2,352 - $624.75) ÷ ($624.75) × 100

= ($1,727.25) ÷ ($624.75) × 100

= 276.43% or 280%

IgorLugansk [536]

The answer is $0.00 (third option).

Explanation:

During the year of 2018, the annual exclusion of both federal and state tax to cash gifts was up to $15,000 per individual. <em>Annual exclusion</em> means that there's up to a certain amount of money that can be gifted without being taxable. In this case, John and Joan's cash gift falls within the limit.

When couples gift money to their family members, the limit is precisely $15,000 per relative, individually; meaning the can gift up to a total of $60,000 without being subject to gift tax.
