Answer:

Lena's ordinary gain/loss resulting from these transactions are:

sales value - book value = ($18,480 - $16,800) + ($5,460 - $8,400) = $1,680 - $2,940 = -$1,260 or $1,260 loss

Lena must recognize an ordinary gain of $1,680 due to depreciation recapture for the equipment sold in April. But she must also recognize a section 1231 capital loss for the sale of the second equipment. Section 1231 losses are treated as ordinary losses while section 1231 gains are treated as capital gains. Since both the gain and the loss is treated as ordinary gains/losses, then she can deduct the net loss from her gross income.

Answer:

Lena only has an ordinary gain not a capital gain.  

Explanation:

Depreciation from the sale of first equipment = Selling amount - Adjusted basis = $18,480 - $16,800 = $1,680

Loss from the sale of second equipment = Selling amount - Adjusted basis =  $5,460 - $8,400 = $2,940 loss

Since Lena only has depreciation recapture of $1,680, which falls within $0–$38,600 for a single tax payer, from the sale of the first asset and a loss of $2,940 from the sale of second asset, Lena only has an ordinary gain not a capital gain.

Which of the following correctly orders the investments from LOWER risk to HIGHER risk?
Yuliya22 [10]
Here is the correct order of investments from Lower Risk to Higher Risk: <span> Treasury bond − Diversified mutual fund – Stock

Treasury bond is released by Government, so unless your country went bankrupt, it is safe to assume that you will get the investment back.

Diversified mutual fund puts your eggs in a lot of baskets So in case one of your investment fail, the others could still support your overall investments

Since the stock is a single entity and really fluctuative, it is considered as the most dangerous type of investment.
