Answer:

Less

Explanation:

In the given scenario taxi prices will go up less in City A than City B. This is because in City A we have both Uber and taxis, and there is substitution. If customers don't have taxis they will commute by Uber. So demand for taxis in City A will be elastic. An increase in price will result in a large decrease in demand. Taxi drivers will cautiously increase prices here.

In City B the only option for commuters is the taxi, so the demand will be inelastic. As price increases there is relatively little change in quantity demanded. Taxi drivers can increase prices more here without losing customers.

Gray is a 50% partner in Fabco Partnership. Gray's tax basis in Fabco on January 1, year 4, was $5,000. Fabco made no distributi
arsen [322]

Answer:

$21000

Explanation:

To determine Gray’s tax basis  for a 50% interest in the Fabco Partnership, The interest is increased by the partner’s  distributive share of all partnership items of income and decreased by the partner’s distributive share of all loss and  deduction items.

Gray’s beginning basis = $5,000  

Gray’s 50% distributive share of ordinary  income = 50% × $20000 = $10000

Gray’s 50% tax-exempt income= 50% × $8000 = $4,000 and  

portfolio income = 50% × $4000  = $2,000

Therefore, the ending basis of  Gray’s Fabco partnership interest = $5000 + $10000 + $4000 + $2000 = $21000
