Sam owns 1,500 shares of Eagle, Inc. stock that he purchased over 10 years ago for $80,000. Although the stock has a current market value of $52,000, Sam still views the stock as a solid long-term investment. He has sold other stock during the year with overall gains of $30,000, so he would like to sell the Eagle stock and offset the $28,000 loss against these gains—but somehow keep his Eagle investment. He has devised a plan to keep his Eagle investment by using funds in his traditional IRA to purchase 1,500 Eagle shares immediately after selling the shares he currently owns. Evaluate Sam’s treatment of these stock transactions. Can his plan work?
Janey, a college student, is on her own financially. She is much too busy with school to hold down any kind of traditional job. However, she does list herself on a number of dating websites and every weekend makes time to see one or more gentlemen. Janey googles all of her potential matches before agreeing to go out in order to confirm a high net worth or income. “I expect a gentleman to be generous,” she says to every potential date. She refuses to go out with anyone who hesitates at that. Janey never does anything illegal but at the same time isn’t shy about showing her appreciation for all she receives. One gentleman pays the rent on her apart-ment. Another pays her tuition for her. A third bought her a car. Some just give her cash... (a) It's 100% certain that everything Janey receives from these gentlemen qualifies as gifts as that term is used in the tax law and so would not need to be reported as “Other income” on her federal income tax return. (b) It's 100% certain…

Anita and Duncan had been partners for many years in a mercantile business. Their relationship deteriorated to the point at which Anita threatened to bring an action for an accounting and dissolution of the firm. Duncan then offered to buy Anita’s interest in the partnership for $250,000. Anita refused the offer and told Duncan that she would take no less than $360,000. A short time later, James approached Duncan and informed him he had inside information that a proposed street change would greatly benefit the business and that he, James, would buy the entire business for $1 million or buy a one-half interest for $500,000. Duncan made a final offer of $350,000 to Anita for her interest. Anita accepted this offer, and the transaction was completed. Duncan then sold the one-half interest to James for $500,000. Several months later, Anita learned for the first time of the transaction between Duncan and James. What rights, if any, does Anita have against Duncan?
Recently, the owner of a Trader Joe's franchise decided to change how she compensated her top manager. Last year, she paid him a fixed salary of $65,000, and her store made $120,000 in profits (not counting payment to her top manager). She suspected the store could do much better and feared the fixed salary was causing her top manager to shirk on the job. Therefore, this year she decided to offer him a fixed salary of $30,000 plus 15 percent of the store's profits. Since the change, the store is performing much better, and she forecasts profits this year to be $280,000 (again, not counting the payment to her top manager). Assuming the change in compensation is the reason for the increased profits, and that the forecast is accurate, (a) Which compensation method (the old one or the new one) will the manager prefer? Please explain why. (b) Which compensation method (the old one or the new one) would the owner of the franchise prefer? Please explain why. (c) If there was another…
Kimball, a partner in a one-office firm, inherits 15 shares of Spotless Housekeeping Services stock. The stock has a market value of $25 per share; there is a ready market for them; and there are 300,000 shares outstanding. Spotless is an audit client of the firm, and Kimball does no work or consulting for Spotless engagements. Which of the following is CORRECT regarding Kimball receiving this stock and maintaining the firm's independence with Spotless? As long as Kimball does not work on the engagements for Spotless, nothing need be done. If he works on the engagements for Spotless, then the shares must be promptly sold to preserve the firm's independence. Since the shares are worth only $375 and they were inherited, nothing need be done. If Kimball transfers the shares to a blind trust where he is the beneficiary, independence with Spotless will not be impaired. The shares must be sold within 30 days of their receipt.
Kate’s business continues to flourish. It hardly seems that just eleven months ago, in September of last year, Kate started the business. She is especially pleased that she was able to successfully defend herself against what turned out to be a mistaken attempt to sue her for copyright infringement. She was able to clearly demonstrate that her card designs were unique and significantly different from the designs sold by Mega Cards. Kate has decided to take on an investor. Taylor Kasey believes that Kate’s Cards represents a good investment and wishes to invest money to help Kate expand the business. Kate, however, is somewhat unsure how to structure Taylor’s investment. Taylor wishes to be an equity investor rather than simply providing a loan to Kate. Kate wants to know whether she should issue Taylor common stock or preferred stock for her investment. 1. Discuss the diﬀerence between the two classes of stock and suggest which type is more ap- propriate for Kate to issue. 2. Kate has…

Tom and Harry are friends. Tom was injured in an accident and received a settlement. He is living off the invested amount from that settlement, since he is no longer able to work. Harry is saving money to buy a boat, something he has wanted all his life and is anxious to get as soon as he has saved enough to pay for it. Based only on transaction costs (not taxes or other factors), which of these two investors would fit into a clientele that prefers stocks with high dividend payout ratios over non-dividend-paying stocks? A. We can’t say, since the concept of a clientele can be applied only to personal taxes, not to transaction costs. B. Harry, saving for a boat, is more likely to be in the high dividend clientele. C. Both are equally likely to fall into this clientele D. Tom, living off his settlement, is more likely to be in the high dividend clientele.
While you are enjoying your meal at a restaurant, your phone rang so loudly that you felt embarrassed when the whole room suddenly looked at you. You then rushed outside to take the call. Jackie, a real estate broker, is the name appearing in your screen. You wanted not to answer it given the embarrassment she just caused. However, since she is your best friend, you decided to take the call. She explains that she sold one of the properties has been listed the longest in the market. However, both the buyer and the seller are refusing to pay the resulting capital gains tax. Who should shoulder said tax and why? a.

The buyer, given that he is the one to file for the return. d. The seller, as the negotiated price normally includes the tax.
