Answer:
The deductible expense = $570
Explanation:
First, the question is not complete, the complete question is as follows
Gwen, an independent consultant, traveled to New York City on a business trip. Gwen spent 4 days in business meetings and conferences and then spent 2 days sightseeing in the area. Gwen's plane fare for the trip was $250. Meals cost $160 per day. Hotels and other incidental expenses amounted to $250 per day.Gwen was not reimbursed by her employer for any expenses. Her AGI for the year is $50,000 and she itemizes but has no other miscellaneous itemized deductions. Gwen may deduct (after limitations).
Solution
How much is the plane fare $250
How much was spent on means $640 (160 a day x 4 days)
Subtract: 50% of meal costs ($320) 0.5 x 640
Hotel Expense was $1,000 ($250 x 4 days)
The total is $1,570
Subtract 2% of the AGI <u> $1,000</u> (0.02 x 50,000)
The final deductible expense $570
This means the amount that Gwen can deduct from the expenses for the trip after the limitations as calculated above is $570
Answer: d. May not discriminate, subject to time lapse
Explanation:
Alphonso in this scenario may not discriminate by hiring a Latino because his worry is that they will be unable to fit in with his permanent workers. The extra workers are temporary workers who will be soon gone so there is no need for them to fit in that with the permanent workers so Alphonso may not discriminate based on this.
Answer:
The answer is: Edgar will receive $37,000
Explanation:
- Dowd's share of the company's losses is $80,000
- Edgar's share of the company's losses is $60,000
- Frost's share of the company's losses is $40,000
- Grant's share of the company's losses is $20,000
But since Grant is not willing to give more money to the partnership to cover his losses, the $9,000 difference must be divided by the remaining three partners. So they will divide Grant's losses as follows:
- Dowd's share of the Grant's losses is $3,600
- Edgar's share of the Grant's losses is $2,700
- Frost's share of the Grant's losses is $1,800
Then you add up all the losses the three remaining partners had:
- Dowd' total losses $83,600
- Edgar's total losses $62,700
- Frost's total losses $21,800
So when the partnership was dissolved, Edgar should have received $100,000 (capital) - $62,700 (total losses) = $37,200
I selected answer A since they probably rounded down Edgar's share to $37,000 (nearest possible choice).

Answer:
a. AB and YX are both general partners.
AB's basis in the partnership's interests = $527,000 + ($263,500/2) = $658,750
YZ's basis in the partnership's interests = $457,000 + ($263,500/2) = $588,750
Each partner share 50% interest in the recourse debt.
b. AB is a general partner, and YZ is a limited partner.
AB's basis in the partnership's interests = $527,000 + $263,500 = $790,500
YZ's basis in the partnership's interests = $457,000
Only AB has a share in the recourse debt, since YZ is a limited partner it has no recourse debt share.
