Answer:

Holly can deduct $145 as business expense.

Explanation:

As per IRS, meals expenses are 50% deductible provided they are incurred for business purpose. Earlier entertainment expenses were also 50% deductible, but as of 2018, they are no more deductible for tax purpose.

Here, Holly closed the deal at dinner. So, 50% of meal expenses are deductible as business expense for tax purpose. So, $145 (50% of 290) can be claimed as deduction by Holly while filing her income tax returns.

Prior to 2018, entertainment expenses were 50% deductible if incurred for business purpose. In this case since the deal was closed at dinner, price of theatre tickets are not considered business expense. Moreover, even if they were qualified business expense, they are not deductible since 2018.

The market value balance sheet for Cherry Pie Corp. reflects a cash of $22,000, fixed assets of $209,000, and equity of $231,000
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Equity = $231,000

No. of outstanding shares = 5,000

Price of share = \frac{231,000}{5000}

Price of share = $46.2

Repurchased shares worth $18,000

No. of shares repurchased = \frac{18,000}{46.2}

No. of shares repurchased = 390

When the shares would have been repurchased then the value of equity would decrease by the same amount.

Revised equity = $231,000 - $18,000

Revised equity = $213,000

No. of shares outstanding = 5,000 - 390

No. of shares outstanding = 4,610

Thus, the price of each share would be:

Share price = \frac{213,000}{4,610}

Share price = $42.60
