Answer:
a)Jada's basis for depreciation in the property is NIL.
b) Personal property that has no intrinsic value is called 'INTANGIBLE PROPERTY'.
Explanation:
Due to a decline in the property values over the past few years Jada has converted her personal residence to rental property and/or investment property which is a subject dealt within IAS 40 (Investment property).
According to IAS 40 an investment property is land or building held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both rather than use in the entity. IAS 40 requires to initially measure investment property at cost and subsequently may either measure at cost or fair value model. Fair value is normally established by prevailing market prices.
IAS 40 also mentions that if an asset is revalued to fair value the gain and loss should be recorded in statement of profit and loss and 'NO DEPRECIATION IS CHARGED ON THE ASSET AFTER THE FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT'.
Therefore, following the instructions laid out by IAS 40 Jada's basis for depreciation in the property is NIL.
2) Personal property with no intrinsic value:
Personal property that has no intrinsic value is called 'INTANGIBLE PROPERTY'.
Lets first understand what intrinsic value is. Intrinsic value of an asset refers to the market led and/or market-driven price of that asset. This means those assets which don't have an active market for sale and purchase will have no intrinsic value. This is absolutely the case with intangible assets, because most intangible assets are unique and uncommon, such as, GOODWILL, PATENTS, COPYRIGHTS, therefore due to the uniqueness and exclusivity of such assets an active market place doesn't exist therefore it's hard to determine an intrinsic value for such kind of assets/ properties.
Answer:
A) $0
Explanation:
If the award was unsolicited and given to Joan in recognition for her accomplishments in scientific, educational, literary, religious, artistic, or civic fields, then the award is not taxed.
The unsolicited part is the key here, since most awards are given to candidates that have been previously been nominated by someone, e.g. Nobel prizes are only given to nominated candidates and the winners must pay income taxes.
Answer:
$18,480
Explanation:
Cost of van = $51,000
Useful life = 5 years
Salvage value = $4,800
Using the straight line, Annual depreciation
= (51000 - 4800)/5
= $9,240
Using the Double-declining balance method,
Annual depreciation = 2 × 9,240
= $18,480
Proportional tax is what we call the tax that is set
to be fixed, regardless of what an individual’s taxable base amount is. An example
of such a tax is sales tax, which remains the same for all income levels.
