Answer: Bait and switch
Explanation:
The type of fraud here is referred to as the bait and switch fraud. This fraud occurs when customers are told about the low prices and quality of a product but aren't available when customers want to purchase such products and they're then given products that are costlier or products that are of lesser quality.
This can be seen in the question when the sales associate advertised the video game system for a reduced price which wasn't available when customers wanted to buy but were offered a game that was costlier.
Let x be the part of 19,000 that was loaned out at 6% such that the remaining 19,000 - x was loaned out at 14%. The interest is calculated by the equation,
I = P x i x n
where P is the principal amount, i is the interest, n is the number of years. Substituting the known values,
2000 = (x)(0.06) + (19000 - x)(0.14)
The value of x from the equation above is 8250.
Hence, 8,250 was loaned out at 6%.
Answer:
C. Ron’s basis in his stock is $27,000
Explanation:
Income recognized on services rendered $21,000
Add basis of $6,000
Ron stock basis $27,000
The property contributed by Ron is not considered insignificant compared to the value of the services he has rendered, which is why the entire contribution is counted as being for property.
Hence, the control requirement is satisfied and a valid § 351 transaction results. Ron’s stock basis is $27,000 [$6,000 (basis of cattle transferred) + $21,000 (income recognized on services rendered)]
The contract in the scenario is considered to be valid even
if the contract is unauthorized because both of the parties have agreed on the
contract and therefore, it is considered to be valid and made use of even if
there is no authorized personnel involved.
