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.

Kay [80]

Answer:

-0.11% a year

Explanation:

Susan's real interest rate is the nominal rate of her investment subtracted by the percentage increase in CPI.

The percentage increase in CPI for 2005 was:

CPI = \frac{232-225}{225}*100 \% \\CPI= 3.11 \%

Therefore, Susan's real interest rate (i) was:

i = 3.00 - 3.11\\i = -0.11 \%

amid [387]

Answer:

Both parties experience surplus, but there is inequity because Steve has a much larger producer surplus

Explanation:

The options to this question wasn't provided. Here are the options : Both parties experience surplus, but there is inequity because Steve has a much larger producer surplus. Both parties experience surplus, so the transaction was equitable. Only Steve benefits from the sale. Srivani will not be happy with her purchase.

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.

Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least amount the seller is willing to sell his good.

While both parties earn a surplus, the producer surplus exceeds the consumer surplus . Therefore, the seller benefited more from the trade than the consumer.
