Answer:
- Melba's adjusted basis for the land at the Acquisition date is $625000
- Melba's adjusted basis for the land one year later is $645000
Explanation:
The adjusted basis for a property/land is the net cost of the property after adjusting for factors that might attract tax as related to the land
The adjusted basis for the land at the acquisition date is the net cost of the land at the acquisition date which will be ( $225000 + $400000 ) because that was the net cost of the Land at the date of acquisition before an agreement was later reached by Melba requiring him to pay $400000 plus an interest of 5%
Hence the adjusted basis for the land one year later will be
= ( $225000 + $400000 ) + 5% of $400000
= ( $625000 ) + $20000
= $645000

Juanita's trainning dilema:
B:People face trade-offs
Icestorm:
A:Markets allocate goods effectively.
Explanation:
Any hour on swimming trainning is one less for bike or running.
Also an hour runnings is one less for swimming or running
an bike hours negate the change for swimming or running.

As the demand for batteries and flashlights increased, the stores chose to purchase these instead of other to replenish the stock and make a stand to the increased demand.
Answer:
Explanation:
The consumer credit protection act was inacted to protect employee from discharge by the employer in case there wage has been garnished in any one debt. However the provision has provided for some limit till which the garnishment can be done. The provision applies to all who receive earning for their personal services. The provision says the credit would be lesser of 25% of disposable income or by the amount which is greater than 30 times of minimum hourly wages (i.e $7.25).
Here in this case Geraldine Wolfe was paid biweekly and 80% was his disposable income. So the calculation would be as follow with 52 weeks in a year.
Disposable income = ($45000/52)*2*80%=$1385 (round off to nearest dollar)
25% of disposable income= $346.25 ($1385*25%)
With minimum wage of $7.25= $7.25*60 (biweekly)=$435
so the amount which is greater than the minimum hourly wage is =$1385-$435=$950
Conclusion:- So the maximum wage garnishment can be lesser of $ 346.25 or $950. Hence it will be $346.25 which is the maximum garnishment allowed for Geraldine's consumer credit garnishment.
