Larry confirmed his calculation with theinventory control manager, who indicated that sales of the Z100 had stopped when the Z200 semiconductor wasreleased early in the quarter. Larry found out that the Z200 semiconductor has the same applications as the Z100, buthas more computing power and a lower cost than the Z100. Larry notified Sheena Snyder, the chief financialofficer, about the semiconductors and recommended that the company apply the lower-of-cost-or-market method tothe Z100 semiconductors in inventory. Later that day, Sheena called Larry telling him not to apply the lower-of-cost-or-market method to the Z100 inventory since this would cause the company not to meet its earnings goal for the currentquarter."

In US Supreme Court case O'Hagan v. United States (1997), O'Hagan was a lawyer working for Grand Met, a company that was secretly planning to make a tender offer for the stock of Pillsbury, the 'target' firm. O'Hagan bought call options on that stock before Grand Met offer went public. The misappropriation theory articulated by the Court's majority in this case is also called the theory of 'outsider' (rather than 'insider') trading. That is because 0'Hagan was not an insider of Pillsbury, the target. He was an outsider who did not owe a fiduciary duty to the shareholders of Pillsbury. The Court's majority held that he did, however, owe a fiduciary duty to Grand Met, the outside firm holding private material information releyant to the future value of Pillsbury stock.(T/F/U and Why?)
Larkin and Oliver bought their first home in May 2019. Their real estate agent told them that all of the property tax would be deductible. Is this accurate? Yes. All property tax is deductible on the purchase of homes. Yes. Besides the complete property tax deduction, homeowners can also get an exclusion from capital gains (but only if they are a married couple, like Larkin and Oliver). No. The only tax benefit for homebuyers is that they are allowed to withdraw up to $10,000 from their IRA to go toward the down payment for their home. No. Homeowners can deduct a total of $10,000 between state, city, and property taxes.
