Courney is a licensed architect who works part-time as an architectural consultant. One of Courtney’s clients was interested in building a shopping center on a tract of land she owned in Lincoln County. Courtney inherited the property from her uncle when he died on June 6, 1999. At that time, the land was valued at $40,000. It has since been rezoned for commercial use and has a current value of $200,000. On February 10, 2019, Courtney exchanged the Lincoln parcel for a similar tract in Minnehaha County worth $190,000 and cash of $10,000.

In early 2019, Cyndey Walters received a $2 million settlement as a result of suffering serious injuries in an accident on a construction site. As a result, she immediately quit her job as a plumber for a construction company and began to search for rundown houses in her neighbour hood that she could buy at a low price. Her objective was to bring her houses up to code (i.e., in accordance with building regulations) and then rent them to individuals who could not afford adequate housing.
Cyndey charged just enough rent to cover the expenses of each house. By March 2020, she owned five houses that were rented to five families. She continued working part time as a plumber while she took courses toward a degree in social work.
Cyndey came from a large family, many members of which were involved in construction. She called on her family for help when her tenants needed services, and they gave her a family dis- count for their services.
In June 2021, she learned that the owner of two…
Harold and Mavone plan to purchase furniture, appliances, some heirloom artifacts, as well as new woodworking and pottery-making equipment to furnish a renovated heritage home in Brazos de Dios, Texas, that they have recently purchased. The hobby equipment is a questionable purchase economically, since the couple plans to sell their artifacts online for a secondary retirement income. Estimates have been developed using two vendors for hobby enthusiasts that provide equipment and marketing services on contract. Note that the vendor's contract periods vary. If the hoped-for MARR is 20% per year, determine which vendor, or neither, should be selected using an incremental ROR analysis. Solve using spreadsheet functions.

- Esther owns a large home on the Southeast Coast. Her home is surrounded by large, mature oak trees that significantly increase the value of her home. In September 2019, a hurricane damaged many of the trees surrounding her home; her region was declared a federal disaster area as a result of the hurricane’s damage. In October 2019, Esther engaged a local arborist to evaluate and treat the trees, but five of the largest trees were seriously weakened by the storm. These trees died from the disease in 2020. Esther has ascertained that the amount of the casualty loss from the death of the five trees is $25,000; however, she is uncertain in which year to deduct this loss. Discuss whether the casualty loss should be deducted in the calculation of Esther’s 2019 or 2020 taxable income.
