When a qualified plan starts making payments to its recipient the gains are taxable. Gains are the profit/return that are made from an investment. A gain can be something you make from a sale or or inheritance. Gains are typically taxed in a higher tax bracket as well.
Answer:
$102,000
Explanation:
According to 26 US code Section 704(c) - Partner's distributive share :
Taxable gain to be recognized from sale = Sale value - ( Partner's share * Fair market value )
Brooke contributed the land, the gain realized before the land was contributed = $120,000 - $90,000 will be allocated entirely to her. She will also be allocated 40% of the gain after the contribution was made = ($150,000 - $120,000) x 40% = $30,000 x 40% = $12,000.
So the total gain recognized by Brooke will be $90,000 + $12,000 = $102,000.
Partnerships are pass through entities, the partners are taxed, not the partnership itself.

Answer:
Economies of scale
Explanation:
Economies of scale refers to reducing total costs per unit by increasing total output. All companies have certain fixed costs, some companies have higher fixed costs than others, but they always exist. When you are producing something, the cost equation is production costs = variable costs per unit + average fixed costs per unit.
Variable costs vary directly with output, while fixed costs do not, e.g. salaries can be fixed, depreciation, rent, interests, etc. The higher the output, the lower the average fixed cost per unit.
Also, sometimes variable costs can also decrease as total output increases. E.g. you can get higher discounts for purchasing larger quantities of materials and supplies.
