c. Does Casper receive a deduction for the $45,000 alimony paid?
d. How much income does Cecile have from the $45,000 alimony received?
e. When Cecile sells the stock, how much does she report?
The explanation of the answers are now given as folllows:
a. What are the tax consequences for Casper and Cecile regarding these transactions?
Casper who is the party that is making the transfer will enjoy a deduction for the property he transferred as he is nt entitled to the deduction. In addition, no gain or loss will be recognized by Casper o the transfer.
Cecila who us the party that receives the property will also not recognize income. She will include the property received on cost basis equal to basis of the Casper who is the party that the transfer.
b. How much gain or loss does Casper recognize on the transfer of the stock?
$0 gain or loss will be recognized by Casper on the transfer.
The reason for this is that anything that is paid under alimony that is not cash is not taxable. Since what Casper transferred is not cash, $0 will be recognized.
c. Does Casper receive a deduction for the $45,000 alimony paid?
The total alimony made by Casper during the year is calculated as follows:
Total alimony paid = Alimony amount * Number of payments during the year = $9,000 * 5 = $45,000
Therefore, a deduction will be received by Casper for the $45,000 alimony paid during the year.
d. How much income does Cecile have from the $45,000 alimony received?
The amount of income is the $45,000 alimony received from Casper during the year. And this will be included in her gross income.

The amount she will report as capital gain can be calculated as follows:
Capital gains = Revenue from the sales of the stock by Cecile - Purchase price paid by Casper = $252,000 - $180,000 = $72,000
Therefore, Cecile will report a capital gains of $72,000.

Suppose you have $100 in a saving account earning 2 percent interest a year.after five year how much would you have
Answer: Roughly $110.40
Explanation:
100 x (1.02)^5
The 1.02 is just 100 percent of the number plus the 2 percent interest you make.
Answer:
$110.41
Explanation:
Provided that the interest is a "compounding interest," you will have $110.41 in 5 years. A compounding interest allows you to calculate the interest you can earn on your accumulated interest over time in addition to your deposit.
Let's calculate the interest on a yearly basis.
1. First year = $100 x 20% (0.02) = $2
You have to add $2 to the initial deposit of $100.
$100 + $2 = $1022. Second year = $102 x 20% (0.02) = $2.04
$102 + $2.04 = $104.043. Third year = $104.04 x 20% (0.02) = $2.0808
104.04 + $2.0808 = $106.12084. Fourth year = $106.1208 x 20% (0.02) = $2.122416
$106.1208 + $2.122416 = $108.2432165. Fifth year = $108.243216 x 20% (0.02) = $2.16486432
$108.243216 + $2.16486432 = $110.408 or $110.41After five years, you will have $110.41.
Glen Arbor Corporation sells DVD players. The corporation also offers its customers a 4-year service-type warranty contract. On 1/1/24, Glen Arbor sold 20,000 warranty contracts at $99 each and spent $180,000 servicing warranties during 2024 and $200,000 servicing warranties in 2025. Estimated warranty expense for the four-year period is $800,000. The Sales Warranty (Deferred Revenue) approach is applicable. Assume straight-line amortization. What is the Unearned Warranty Revenue balance at 12/31/25
Answer:
the balance of unearned revenue as on Dec 31 25 is $990,000
Explanation:
The computation of the balance of unearned revenue as on Dec 31 25 is as follows:
= Opening balance - amortization for the year 2024 - amortization for the year 2025
= (20,000 × $99) - ((20,000 × $99) ÷ 4 years) - ((20,000 × $99) ÷ 4 years)
= $1,980,000 - $495,000 - $495,000
= $990,000
hence, the balance of unearned revenue as on Dec 31 25 is $990,000

A fundamental principle in demand analysis is that a change in price leads to Group of answer choices a shift of the demand curve. a movement along the demand curve. a leftward shift of the demand curve. a complementary movement on the supply curve.
Answer: a movement along the demand curve.
Explanation:
When the price of a good changes, demand is supposed to react to that by moving along the demand curve because the demand curve is a visual representation of the goods demanded by people at various prices.
For instance, if the price of a normal good increases, the demand will likely decrease and there will be a movement up the demand curve to show that less goods are being demanded. The reverse holds true.

Megan's opportunity cost of making a pizza is ______________ of root beer, and Susan's opportunity cost of making a pizza is ______________ of root beer. __________has an absolute advantage in making pizza, and ___________ has a comparative advantage in making pizza. If Megan and Susan trade foods with each other, ___________ will trade away pizza in exchange for root beer. The price of pizza can be expressed in terms of gallons of root beer. The highest price at which pizza can be traded that would make both roommates better off is ____________ of root beer, and the lowest price that makes both roommates better off is _________ of root beer per pizza.
Answer and Explanation:
The cost of pizza production for Megan is 3 ÷ 5 root beer gallons.
And, Susan's pizza production potential cost is 1 ÷ 2 root beer gallons
Megan also gained an edge in pizza making as she only takes three hours, whereas Susan takes four hours on the other side.

b. The investor did not actually rely upon the false statement.
c. The CPA detected the false statement after the audit date.
d. The false statement is immaterial in the overall context of the financial statements.
Answer:
d. The false statement is immaterial in the overall context of the financial statements.
Explanation:
Note, the term 'misstatement' can also be rendered 'false statement'.
Since in this scenario, we can confirm the CPA (Certified Public Accountant) issued out an opinion about the financial statements of a company.
Since the interpretation of the financial statement is subject to personal interpretation, it can, therefore, be considered immaterial in the overall context of the financial statements; removing any liability to the CPA.

a. $591,710
b. $658,210
c. $408,710
d. $784,710
e. $68,290
Explanation:
The Accounting Equation is stated as Assets = Equity + Liabilities
also stated as :
Equity = Assets - Liabilities
therefore,
a. Capital = $865,080 - $273,370 = $591,710
b. Capital = $591,710 + [$96,500 - $30,000] = $658,210
c. Capital = $591,710 + [- $168,000 - + $15,000] = $408,710
d. Capital = $591,710 + [$175,000 - - $18,000] = $784,71
e. Net income = [$880,000 - $220,000] - $591,710 = $68,290

The income elasticity of demand for low quality beef is 2 Thus an 8 decrease in the quantity of low quality beef demanded A is the result of a decrease in income of 4 B is the result of an increase in income of 0.25 C is the result of an increase in income of 4 D is unrelated to any change in income
Answer: C is the result of an increase in income of 4
Explanation:
When the income elasticity of a good is negative, it means that it is an inferior good because inferior goods see their quantity demanded fall when income rises and vice versa.
In this case therefore, the income must have risen for the quantity demanded to decrease.
Income = Quantity demanded / Income elasticity
= -8 / -2
= 4
Income therefore increased by 4.
When real estate agents sell their own, rather than clients', houses, they leave the houses on the market for a longer time (10 days longer on average) and wind up with better prices.
Suppose that real estate agents earn a commission equal to 3% of the sale value of each house that they help sell. Suppose a real estate agent has an offer on a house of $400,000. The agent can get a 5% higher offer with more effort and by leaving the house on the market for a few more weeks.
If the agent sells the house now, he will earn a commission of $________ . By keeping the house on the market and expending more effort to sell the house, the agent can earn a commission of $_______ . Thus, the agent gains $________ for the extra effort and time of keeping the house on the market.

If the agent sells the house now, he will earn a commission of $12,000. By keeping the house on the market and expending more effort to sell the house, the agent can earn a commission of $12,600. Thus, the agent gains $600 for the extra effort and time of keeping the house on the market.
If the agent sells the house now, he will earn 3% on $400,000:
= 400,000 * 3%
= $12,000
If the agent waits, the offer could increase by 5%:
= 400,000 * ( 1 + 5%).
= $420,000
New commission would therefore be = 420,000 * 3% = $12,600
Gain = 12,600 - 12,000 = $600
__________________________________________________________
If the agent waits to sell the house, he gains $20,000 more than selling the house now. Since this amount is more than what he would gain by waiting to sell a house he does not own (as in the first part of the problem), the agent is more likely to keep a house on the market and expend more effort to sell a house that he owns, as opposed to one that he does not own.
If the agent owns the house, the gain is:
= 420,000 - 400,000
= $20,000
This amount is more than the $600 he would gain if the house wasn't his as shown in the first question.
He will therefore most likely wait and expend more effort so he gets this $20,000.
