<span>Let us first find out how much of the prepaid subscriptions has been used up during the reporting year. $1548 is for 36 months. So the monthly rate of subscription charges will be 1548/36 = 43. During the reporting year, subscription charges are paid only for 9 months( from April to December) So the amount to be debited to subscription charges = 43 * 9 = 387. Subscription charges will be debited with $ 387 and prepaid subscriptions account will be credited with the same amount. The remaining amount, 1548-387=1161, will remain in prepaid subscriptions account as a debit balance.</span>
Answer:
That is $2,000 loss
Explanation:
After the hurricane Oscar received $140,000 for his loss, the adjusted basis for his property was $130,000 so he had a gain of 140,000- 130,000=$10,000.
According to Sec. 1033(a)(2) since the new property that was built (the replacement) was similar we will recognise the amount received from the insurance company ($140,000) to the extent that it pays for the replacement property.
That is
Gain or loss = amount paid by insurance company- cost of replacement property
Gain or loss= 140,000- 142,000
Gain or loss= -$2,000
That is $2,000 loss
