You’re called out of an investment committee meeting at your real estate company for an important phone call. Stepping back into the meeting you find you’ve missed the initial description of the Subject Property, but a heated debate on which Comparable Properties should be used to evaluate the property is underway. Glancing at a handout your analysts have prepared, you see observe the following table: Comp A Comp B Comp C Comp D Comp E Distance from Subject 0.50 Miles 0.75 miles 1 mile 0.25 miles 0.90 miles Year of Construction 1990 2005 1985 2015 2006 Sq.

2. A warehouse owned by Martha and used in her business (i.e., to store inventory) is being condemned by the city to provide a right-of-way for a highway. The warehouse has appreciated by $180,000 based on Martha’s estimate of its fair market value. In the negotiations, the city is offering $35,000 less than what Martha believes the property is worth. Alan, a real estate broker, has offered to purchase Martha’s property for $20,000 more than the city’s offer. Martha plans to invest the proceeds she will receive in an office building she will lease to various tenants. Identify the relevant tax issues for Martha. Would the answer in part (1) change if Martha’s warehouse was property being held for investment rather than being used in her business? Explain.
5. Unemployment insurance and permanent job loss. Workers sometimes lose their jobs due to international trade. These jobs are permanently gone, and many displaced workers have difficulty finding a similar job. The jobs they can find in a few months tend to offer much lower wages than their old job. Consider the following two proposals to provide unemployment insurance for such workers. Explain your arguments for or against each policy. a) Workers displaced from industries identified as impacted by foreign trade receive extended unemployment benefits. They will receive unemployment benefits for an extra 26 weeks beyond the normal 26 weeks eligibility. b) These workers receive unemployment benefits up to 26 weeks. In addition, if they accept a job at a lower pay than their old job, they are guaranteed 50% of the difference in earnings as a wage supplement for two years. (The government pays the supplement to the worker.)

At the end of that time, a mild recession slowed the develop- ment, so the parties signed another contract for $150,000 per year for two more years.

According to reports, some of the nation’s largest mortgage lenders have made changes to their lending requirements, making it harder for buyers to be approved for buying a house or refinancing a mortgage. Banks like JP Morgan Chase and Wells Fargo are now raising their borrowing standards to a minimum credit score ranging between 700-720 and requiring a 20 percent down payment. Without meeting these requirements, prospective homeowners in weaker financial positions are now being pushed to a lower priority in the housing market. Given a home being the typical American’s biggest asset, what would you suggest be changed or put into place to allow more individuals from marginalized groups the opportunity to be a home buyer?
