Answer:

Plum Corporation

The best choice is:

B. Assume that Plum will distribute its after-tax earnings each year to its shareholders. Should Plum operate as a C corporation or an S Corporation?

Explanation:

a) Tax is the greatest difference existing between a C corporation and an S corporation.  With a C corporation, the earnings are taxed twice.  When the C corporation earns income, it is taxed as a corporation.  When it distributes the after-tax earnings, the owners are taxed again in income tax.  This does not happen with an S corporation.  The S corporation does not pay corporate tax, instead, its owners pay their individual income taxes because the corporation's incomes are passed through the members.

You don't have to bill your clients for the full legal expenses, but they for sure need to start making some money.

It is very normal that new businesses don't get enough revenue to cover their operation expenses right away. Even for big corporations, like Amazon and FB, it may take years to reach the break even point.

When you open a business you have to keep some money as reserve to cover some expenses for at least a few months.

olganol [36]

Answer: The investment is written down to fair value, and only the credit loss component of the impairment loss is recognized in net income.

Explanation: The fair value of the debt is simply its value if you adjust the price of the debt so that a buyer would be earning the market rate of interest. If the fair value of a debt investment that is classified as an available-for-sale investment declines for a reason that is viewed as "other than temporary" because the company has incurred a credit loss on the investment then the investment is written down to fair value, and only the credit loss component of the impairment loss is recognized in net income.
