Answer:

(a) $430,000

(b) $355,000

Explanation:

To answer the question, it is important to understand the meaning of passive income or loss and how it applies to personal service corporation (PSC) and C corporation.

Passive income refers to income received from investment without active participation in the running of the business. Example of passive income is dividend.

For personal service corporation (PSC), when there is a passive loss, in can only be deducted from any other available passive income from other investments. If there is no other passive income, the passive loss is not deductible from active income.

For C corporation, passive loss is allowed to be deducted against net active income. However, it can not be deducted against portfolio income .

The questions are then answered as follows:

a) If Plum is a personal service corporation (PSC)

Since Plum is PSC, it cannot deduct passive activity loss of $75,000 from the net active income nor portfolio income.

Therefore, it taxable income is the addition of net active income and portfolio income as follows:

Taxable income = $410,000 + $410,000 = $430,000

b) Plum is not a personal service corporation

Here, Plum is considered as a C coporartion. Therefore, it can deduct the passive loss from the active income  but not from portfolio income. Its Taxable income is therefore as follows:

Taxable income = ($410,000 - $75,000) + $20,000 = $355,000

<u>According to keynesianism, as more items are being made, what happens to prices D. the prices stay the same</u>

Explanation:

Keynes advocated that an increased government expenditures and lower taxes can  stimulate demand and it can pull  the global economy out of the depression.

Keynesians believe that, because prices are somewhat rigid, fluctuations in any component of spending like consumption, investment, or government expenditure will cause the output to change. If government spending increases, for example, and all other spending components remain constant, then output will increase.

Suppose a brand has a heavy usage index of 1.5, penetration share of 0.6 and a market share of 15%. What is the share of wallet
Anettt [7]

Answer:

0.167

Explanation:

Given the following :

Heavy usage index = 1.5

Penetration share = 0.6

Market share = 15%

Using the formula:

Heavy usage index =

market share % / [Penetration share * share of wallet]

1.5 = 15% / [0.6 * share of wallet]

1.5 × [0.6 × share of wallet] = 15%

0.9 × share of wallet = 15%

Divide both sides by 0.9

Share of wallet = 15% / 0.9

Share of wallet = 0.15 / 0.9

Share of wallet = 0.16666

Share of wallet = 0.167
