Answer:

C) $0 $285,000

Explanation:

The §121 exclusion establishes that homeowners can exclude from their capital gains taxes the sale of their property for a maximum of $250,000 gain (or $500,000 for joint filers) if they meet two criteria:

  • they owned the property for at last 5 years
  • they use the property as main residence for at least 2 years (they can aggregate time periods).

So if Eric and Katie use the §121 exclusion they wouldn't pay any capital gains tax ($500,000 is higher than $375,000).

If they decide to forgo the §121 exclusion, then they will have to pay taxes for a gain of:

capital gain = net sale price - asst basis

capital gain = ($375,000 - $10,000) - $80,000 = $365,000 - $80,000 = $285,000

aleksley [76]

Answer:

a. There is no entry required to record the accounting change

b. The journal entry to record depreciation for 2021 would be as follows:

                                   

                                         Debit      Credit

Depreciation Expense $3,000

    Accumulated Depreciation $3,000

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

Sum of year digits=5(5+1)/2

Sum of year digits=(5*6)/2

Sum of year digits=15

Depreciation for year 2019=$30,000*5/15

Depreciation for year 2019=$10,000

Depreciation for year 2020=$30,000*4/15

Depreciation for year 2020=$8,000

Therefore, book value as on january 1, 2021=$30,000-$10,000-$8,000

book value as on january 1, 2021=$12,000

Revised useful life=6 years-2 years=4 years

Therefore, Revised depreciation for 2021=$12,000/4

Revised depreciation for 2021=$3,000

a. There is no entry required to record the accounting change

b. The journal entry to record depreciation for 2021 would be as follows:

                                   

                                         Debit      Credit

Depreciation Expense $3,000

    Accumulated Depreciation $3,000

Given the acquisition cost of product ALPHA is $24, the net realizable value for product ALPHA is $23, the normal profit for pro
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

$22

Explanation:

Given that,

Acquisition cost of product ALPHA = $24

Net realizable value for product ALPHA = $23

Normal profit for product ALPHA = $1.00

Market value (replacement cost) for product ALPHA = $21

By applying LCM, the per unit inventory value is determined by deducting the normal profit from the Net realizable value for product.

Per unit inventory value:

= Net Realizable Value - Normal Profit

= $23 - $1.00

= $22

Therefore, the proper per unit inventory value for product ALPHA applying LCM is $22.00.
