Answer:
If Tom is single, he can claim THE $250,000 CAPITAL GAINS EXEMPTION.
Explanation:
Capital gain taxes are taxes on any profit you make from the sale of something, such as a house. These taxes apply unless you upgraded to a home with a more expensive purchase price.
With the passage of the taxpayer relief act, individuals can exclude up to $250,000 of capital gains from taxation and married couples can exclude up to $500,000.
To qualify for the home sale capital gains tax exemption, one must pass the use test (looking at whether one used/lived in one's home). One must have owned and lived in the residence for at least two out of the last five years before the sale.
Therefore, since Tom is single and has lived in his home for the past four years and wants to sell, he qualifies for the exemption and can claim THE $250,000 CAPITAL GAINS EXEMPTION.
LAST QUESTION ANSWER: Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
Answer:
C. A situation where no economic agent would benefit by changing his or her behavior
Explanation:
An economic equilibrium is when the agents are optimizing their decisions and opposing market forces are equal. This point allows the economic agents to maximize their utility and any change from this point will cause all agents to move away from potential maximum benefits.
In a natural equilibrium there is usually no government intervention so option A is false. Option B gives only one agent potential benefits and as such there is no equilibrium. Option D is conditional and may or may not happen as when the agents find missing information they would optimize again and move to an equilibrium.
Hope that helps.
