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

prisoha [69]

Answer:

E.  $40.68

Explanation:

The computation of the stock worth today is shown below:

= (Dividend in year 1 ÷ 1 + required rate of return^number of years ) + (Dividend in year 2 ÷ 1 + required rate of return^number of years) + (Dividend in year 3 ÷ 1 + required rate of return^number of years)  + (Dividend in year 3 ÷ 1 + required rate of return^number of years) × (1 + growth rate) ÷ (required rate of return - growth rate)

= $1.2 ÷ 1.14 + $1.5 ÷ 1.14^2 + $2 ÷ 1.14^3 + $2 ÷ 1.14^3 × (1 + 10%) ÷ (14%-10%)

= $40.68

We simply applied the above formula

now suppose that the government immediately pursues an accommodative policy by increasing government purchases in response to the short run economic impact of the higher oil prices <u>The output will be $billion and the price level will increase.</u>

<h3>What is accommodative policy?</h3>

When a central bank (like the Federal Reserve) tries to increase the general money supply to support the economy when growth is stalling, this is known as accommodating monetary policy, often known as loose credit or easy monetary policy (as measured by GDP). The goal of the policy is to allow the money supply to increase in step with both the demand for money and national revenue.

  • The expansion of the money supply by central banks to stimulate the economy is known as accommodating monetary policy.
  • The Federal funds rate has been decreased as part of monetary policies that are deemed accommodating.
  • The goals of these policies are to lower the cost of borrowing money and boost consumer spending.

N76 [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Those who are unwilling or unable to pay for the good do not obtain its benefits.

Explanation:

The excludability feature of goods does not allow individuals to have access to them without having paid for them. Thus, non-excludable goods are those that no one cannot prevent its use. <em>Private goods</em> (clothing, vehicles, houses) are excludable but they are also considered rival goods since when one person uses it another individual cannot consume the goods.
