Answer:

A. $6,400

B. $240

C. $1,000,000

D. $30,000

Explanation:

Requirement A, C, and D:

Prizes and awards are taxable income for a taxpayer. Any awards or prizes won from the lottery or television should be added to the income. Therefore, the Winning lottery is a taxable income for Kerry, $1,000,000. Again, Receiving the award for scientific research is also taxable income for Deborah, $30,000.

The winning award for accomplishments is also a taxable income. So, receiving a $6,400 worth gift bag is a taxable income for Cheline.

Requirement B:

There is an exception if the award is for tangible property and a long-years of accomplishment. At that time, the taxpayers will be excluded from some part of the necessary amounts to be paid as tax. If it is not a qualified award, the exclusion will be $400. If it is qualified, the tax exclusion is 1,600. Since Jon received a gold watch for 25 years of service and the gift is not qualified, he has to pay tax for $(660 - 400) = $240.

Kamila [148]

Answer: D. Todd should include the $500 in 2015 gross income in accordance with the tax benefit rule.

Explanation:

It should be noted that due to the fact that Todd is a cash basis taxpayer, he'll be able to deduct the one-year prepayment for insurance in the year that it was paid, 2014.

In this case, he deducted $1,200, then his net cost will be ($1200 - $500) = $700. In this case, Todd should then include the $500 refund in gross income for 2015 under the tax benefit rule.

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Annual savings = 61,746.

Explanation:

The Net Present Value (NPV) is the difference between the present value (PV) of cash outflows  and PV of cash inflow

At the internal rate of return the PC of annual cash savings will be equal to the investment cost

Initial cost = 211980

PV = annual cash savings = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n)/ r

A=?  r-internal rate of return, 14%, n-number of years- 5

211980 = A  (1- (1.14)^(-5)/ 0.14

211,980 = A× 3.433080969

A= 211,980/3.43308

A= 61746.28619

Annual savings = 61,746.
