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

Answer:
Explanation:
If a company(Marriott in this case) uses a single hurdle rate to decide whether an investment should be undertaken or not, some projects that need to be accepted would end up being rejected and vice versa. For example,
if Marriott's hurdle rate is 10% and it's evaluating
project A with a 15% cost of capital &
project B with a 6% cost of capital .
Evaluation:
Project A would probably lead to a negative NPV because the cost of capital is higher (meaning it is riskier than the firm) hence could be rejected, but using the company hurdle rate of 10% to evaluate it could make its NPV positive. This would ignore the actual additional risk of the project.
Answer:
B. You need a separate W-2 form from EACH of your employers in order to file your taxes.
Explanation:
Taxation can be defined as the involuntary or compulsory fees levied on individuals or business entities by the government to generate revenues used for funding public institutions and activities.
In order to ensure that, all employees pay taxes on the income earned throughout the year, the internal revenue service (IRS) has made it compulsory and mandatory for all employers to make available a W-2 Form to all their employees, so as to enable these employees fill out the total amount of wages, how much income tax is to be withheld from their respective paycheck in relation to their filing status and how much was paid as tax the previous year. Therefore, a W-2 form is used by an employer to report the wages paid to each employee, calculate how much tax should be withheld from his or her employee's paycheck and submitted to the internal revenue service (IRS).
Additionally, any employee who defaults in the payment of his or her income tax would be faced with stiff penalties such as failure-to-file, paying a fine etc.
Hence, the true statement regarding a W-2 form is that, as an employer you need a separate W-2 form from each of your employers in order to file your taxes.
