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

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Manson Industries

The total cost savings that Manson will realize by buying the assembly part instead of making it is:

($14,700), showing that more costs will be incurred.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                   Make       Buy

Variable cost per unit   $5            $6

Fixed cost per unit          2              2

Total cost per unit        $7            $8

Total units required 14,700       14,700

Total costs           $102,900   $117,600

Cost saving = ($14,700)

b) Based on the above calculations, it benefits Manson more to produce the part internally than to buy from an outside supplier.  There is a cost difference of $1 because the fixed costs will still be incurred whatever decision is taken.

hoa [83]

Answer:

A) Pilot strategy

Explanation:

Under a pilot strategy, before a new system is fully implemented, it is first subjected to testing under a given situation by using it in selective parts of the organization , to assess it's compatibility with the situation or if the system requires necessary changes.

This could also be a kind of experimentation to evaluate the feasibility of a system before deciding upon it's final implementation.

If the system under consideration matches the desired results, the organization proceeds with it's full implementation in the entire organization.

If not, necessary changes need to be incorporated in the system.
