Answer:

The GDP will increase by $2,000 as a result of these transactions

Explanation:

When trying to calculate the increase in GDP caused by a series of transactions, we do not add all the transactions, instead we look at the price of the final good and that is the increase in GDP. In this case the final good is the necklace that the store department sells for $2,000 therefore we will only consider the final transaction. So the GDP will increase by $2,000 as a result of this series of transactions because the final good sold for $2,000.

Had there been a business discussion, Joe would have been able to claim a 50% deduction in Tax. However since there was none, there is no effect on Tax.

c. No effect on Taxable Income

The insurance is not tax deductible.

d. $12,750 in taxable income.

Even Joe believes that $2,750 of income might not be collected, he cannot deduct this from taxes until it actually happens therefore his increase in income is $12,750.

e. $2,250 reduction in taxable income

The $6,750 was paid for 3 months. Joe uses Accrual accounting however meaning that expenses have to be recorded for the period they are incurred. $2,250 was incurred for December and so that is the amount that will be deducted as an expense for the year.

f. $1,600 reduction in Taxable income.

If the representative brings back receipts that are in order, Joe can be able to reimburse her for $1,600 in expenses. This includes $550 for airfare, $600 for lodging and for food and entertainment, the maximum he can claim as deductible in tax is 50% of each which means $250 for meals and $200 for entertainment. Adding all that up will give $1,600.

g. $139.15 reduction in Taxable income

Joe drove 96 miles to and fro the factory to his house. This is not tax deductible and considered personal. He however drove 245 miles visiting company sites. This is tax deductible.

The standard rate for 2020 according to the IRS is 57.5 cents per mile so 245 * 57.5 cents per mile will give $139.15.

h. $345 reduction in taxable income

Joe spent $175 to attend to symposium. He also paid $95 in taxi fare to get to the symposium. He ate meals worth $150 during the symposium not which 50% is deductible. 50% being $75. Adding all these together is,

= 175 + 95 + 75

= $345.

This is the taxable reduction.
