Answer:

D) $40,000

Explanation:

The Joneses qualify for a Section 121 exemption since they lived at their house for 20 years. They are exempted from paying capital gains taxes on the first $500,000 ($250,000 if single) in realized gains from selling their home.

Joneses taxable gain = $750,000 (sales price) - $210,000 (basis) - $500,000 (section 121) = $40,000

They will have to recognize only $40,000 in gains.

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Net Present Value = $1,762.95

Explanation:

Equal payments made at the end of each year implies that the cash inflows from year 1 to 7 form an annuity where:

PVof An Ordinary Annuity= \frac{PMT[1-(1+i)^{-n} ] }{i}

where PMT is the the equal payment cash inflow received at the end of each period  and

\frac{[1-(1+i)^{-n} ] }{i} = The present value of an annuity factor for n years at i%

The present value of an annuity factor for 7 years at 10% equals

\frac{[1-(1+0.1)^{-7} ] }{0.1}=4.8684

therefore: Net Present value of this investment given a 10% return o investments equals

-50,000+10,000*4.8684+\frac{6,000}{1.1^7}=1,762.95
