Answer:

Business Inventories refer to the excess of goods produced over goods sold. In a given year, final goods and services are produced for sale so they are consumed. However, not all of these goods are consumed with the rest being consumed in another period. These goods that were not sold for consumption will then fall under Business Inventories.

When accounting for them in GDP, only the increase in Inventory is added. This way the inventory is accounted for in the year that it was produced in. Specifically speaking, Inventories fall under the Investment component of GDP and is typically referred to as Inventory Investment.

Answer:

Explanation:

given data

Sadie sold = 10 shares

Sadie sold shares of stock = $500

time = 16 year ago

Sadie purchased the stock = $600

time = 2 year earlier

George sells stock = $700

to find out

amount and character of his recognized gain or loss in the current year

solution

we know that George receives dual basis in the stock

his loss = $600 - $500 = $100

and

if we consider stock is sold at a gain

then George receives a carryover basis = $600

and

if we consider stock is sold at a loss

then George receives = $500

also here his sister basis and holding period is transfer to her brother

so we can say there is gain

and receive is = proceed - carryover basis

receive is = $700 - $600

receive is $100 long term gain
