Answer:
Bob Katz and Sally Mander
Taxable Income for 2018:
= $78,200
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Total wages = $102,400
Gain from sale of stock = 5,200
Interest income = 100
Total income = $107,700
less total deductions = (29,500)
Taxable Income = $78,200
b) Bob Katz and Sally Mander will have taxable income of $78,200 when the appropriate rate of tax is applied and the tax liability obtained, then the $1,500 tax credit will be deducted before arriving at the tax liability due.
c) The short-term capital gain of $5,200 is taxed as ordinary income. Since it is held for less than a year, it will be included in the taxable income for that year and it follows the same tax brackets as ordinary income. On the other hand, the long-term capital gain of $13,000 will attract a tax rate of 0 percent for a taxable income of $78,200. Otherwise, it will attract a tax rate of 15 percent or 20 percent, depending on income level. This means that long-term capital gains tax rates are much lower than the ordinary income tax rate.
Answer:
C. Neither Mary nor Sharon can claim breach of contract.
Explanation:
Mary buys a lottery ticket and promises to buy her friend Sharon a new pair of shoes if she checks the lottery results while Mary is away.
Sharon agrees to do so, provided she has the time for it.
If Sharon fails to check the results and Mary wins the lottery, then it would be true of the contract between Mary and Sharon that Neither Mary nor Sharon can claim breach of contract.
The reason is Mary's promise is based on the condition that Sharon checks the result, Sharon's promise is based on the condition that 'if she has the time for it.'
The condition was not met by Sharon hence she cannot claim a breach of contract because she did not check the results, similarly, Mary cannot sue Sharon because sharon made it clear that she will only check If she has the time.
Yes, look for help, your store getting robbed!
