Sara owns 160 acres of farmland worth $800,000. She inherited the land from her father 30 years ago when it was worth $200,000.

Her married son would like to buy the land, but has limited funds. He proposes buying the land on a contract for deed, paying $50,000 down and the balance over 20 years at 4% interest. Assume that if Sara sold the land for cash, her tax rate on the gain would be 23.8%, but if she sold it on a contract her rate would be 15% on the gain and 28% on the interest income on each payment. Advise Sara on how much tax she would have to pay under each option (selling for cash or on the contract, also assume Sara could earn 4% interest if she sold for cash and invested the money)

Answer:

Check the following calculations

Explanation:

Sara with selling option

Selling Price = 800000

acquisition cost = 200000

Capital gain =  600000

  • Intersest earned on 800000 @ 4% for 20 Years = 800000 * CVF @ 4% 20 Years

800000* 1.464 = 1171200 - 800000 = 371200

  • Tax on interest Income = 371200 * 28% = 103936

  • Tax on capital Gain = 600000*23.8% = 142800

  • Total Tax on selling of land = 103936 + 142800 = 246736

  • On the contract

Capital gain = 600000

Intersest earned on [email protected]% for 20 Years = 750000 * [email protected]% 20 Years

750000* 1.464 = 1098000 - 750000 = 348000

  • Tax on interest Income = 348000 * 28% = 97440

  • Tax on capital gain = 600000*15%= 90000

total Tax on contract = 97400+ 90000 = 187440

Saving of tax on contracting = tax on sale - tax on contract = 246736 - 187440 = 59296

Kitty [74]

Answer:

8.08

Explanation:

Hi!

The income elasticity of demand is calculated by dividing the negative % change in demand by the % change in real income.

We calculate the negative % change in demand as:

19/20 = 0.95, a 95%

Then, the % change in real income as:

(34,000-30,000)/34,000 = 0.1176, an 11.76%

So the income elasticity of demand is:

0.95/0.1176 = 8.08

Hope it helps! :)
