In late December you decide, for tax purposes, to sell a losing position that you hold in Twitter, which is listed on the NYSE,

so that you can capture the loss and use it to offset some capital gains, thus reducing your taxes for the current year. However, since you still believe that Twitter is a good long-term investment, you wish to buy back your position in February the following year. To get this done you call your Charles Schwab brokerage account manager and request that he immediately sell your 1,400 shares of Twitter and then in early February buy them back. Charles Schwab charges a commission of $4.95 for online stock trades and for broker-assisted trades, there is an additional $25 service charge, so the total commission is $29.95. a. Suppose that your total transaction costs for selling the 1,400 shares of Twitter in December were ​$59.95. What was the​ bid/ask spread for Twitter at the time your trade was​ executed? b. Given that Twitter is listed on the​ NYSE, do your total transaction costs for December seem reasonable? Explain why or why not. c. When your February statement arrives in the mail, you see that your total transaction costs for buying the 1,400 shares of Twitter were $47.95. What was the bid/ask spread for Twitter at the time your trade was executed? d. What are your total round-trip transaction costs for both selling and buying the shares, and what could you have done differently to reduce the total costs?

find detailed computations in the attached.

Explanation:

The price of the bond can determined using the pv formula in excel as shown below:

=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

rate is the semiannual yield to maturity on the bond i.e 14%/2=7%

nper is the number of coupon interests the bond would pay which is 10 years *2 =20 coupon interests

pmt is the semiannual interest payment:$83,000,000*12%*6/12=$4,980,000.00=$4.98 million

fv is the face value of $83 million

=-pv(7%,20,4.98,83)=$74.21  million

While visiting a client to deliver their 2019 tax documents, one of the owners approaches you and states: "The IRS says my trave
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Commuting refers to travelling from your home to your workplace. It generally refers to the distance that people generally travel to get to their office or any type of workplace.

While business travel refers to not only leaving your house to go to work, but actually going somewhere else to perform your regular business activities, e.g. going form one state to another to close a sale. In order for business travel to be effectively recognized as such, it must be necessary for your business activity and it should last more than one ordinary workday.

In this case, your client continuously leaves his house and goes form one state to another performing his normal business activities. This perfectly fits the IRS's definition of business travel.

Initially, you can try to solve this issue with IRS Office of Appeals (since you are right), but if that doesn't work, then you can go to Tax Court.
