Did Freda actually or constructively receive 252,000 in 2020? b. What could explain Fredas willingness to spread her salary over a longer period of time? c. In December 2020, after Freda had earned the right to collect the 132,000 in 2020, the employer offered 133,000 to Freda at that time, rather than 132,000 in January 2021.
