bility of $50,000 as of August 2 of the current year. Alvo Corp. owns 100% of Borasco.

Answer:

$65,000        

Explanation:

Corporate liquidations of property generally are treated as a sale or exchange. Gain or loss generally is recognized by the corporation on a liquidating sale of its assets. Gain or loss generally is recognized also on a liquidating distribution of assets as if the corporation sold the assets to the distributee at fair market value.

In certain cases in which the distributee is a corporation in control of the distributing corporation, the distribution may not be taxable. For more information, see IRC Section 332 and the related regulations.

As a result, Alvo has a basis in the received property of $65,000 because the land was not sold and Alvo did not receive $200,000. Alvo no longer owns stock in Borasco, but has the land.

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is Increased; decreased.

Explanation:

The future taxable amount is the initial figure on which a specific type of tax is applied to calculate the value of the tax to be paid. The tax base is the “monetary or other magnitude that results from the measurement or valuation of the taxable event” and establishes its estimate according to three methodologies:

  1. Direct estimation, used in a general way. It is calculated from the data available to the tax payer, for example, through the accounting books.
  2. Objective estimation, established by law for specific cases. It is not fixed on real data, but rather uses ratios or quantities that allow an average to be made. For example: according to the number of workers.
  3. Indirect estimate, for cases in which the Tax Agency does not have all the necessary data to establish the tax base.

Each of the following describes a not for profit activity (hobby) except?
g100num [7]

Answer:

A Mary Kay consultant who deducts travel expenses and whose small customer base was mostly relatives who lived out of town.

Explanation:

A not for profit activity (or hobby) is something that you do simply because you like to do it and generally you should not make a profit from doing it.

A Mary Kay consultant is actually a salesperson whose job is to sell Mary Kay products. Whether she is able to make a profit or not is something different, but selling Mary Kay is actually considered work. Since they are independent consultants, they are considered independent contractors that must file their income taxes.

Assume that the demand curve for MP3 players shifts to the right and the supply curve for MP3 players shift to the left, but the
Ratling [72]

Answer:

The correct answer is the option D: the equilibrium price of MP3 players will increase; the equilibrium quantity will decrease.

Explanation:

First of all, the supply and demand curves are the graphical representation of the price and the quantity demanded and supplied respectively in each case. Moreover, in the graphic when both curves are in equilibrim that means that there is a single point in where the price and the quantity are established together for the market. Furthermore, when there is a shift of any curve that point will be changed so when there is a shift in the demand curve to the right the price will increase and the quantity will increase but if there is a shift in the supply change to the left and that shift is greater then the price will increase but the quantity will decrease.
