LO.2, 11 Heather wants to invest $40,000 in a relatively safe venture and has discovered two alternatives that would produce the following reportable ordinary income and loss over the next three years:
She is interested in the after-tax effects of these alternatives over a three-year horizon. Assume that Heather’s investment portfolio produces sufficient passive activity income to offset any potential passive activity loss that may arise from these alternatives, that her cost of capital is 6%, that she is in the 24% tax bracket, that each investment alternative possesses equal growth potential, and that each alternative exposes her to comparable financial risk. In addition, assume that in the loss years for each alternative, there is no cash flow from or to the investment (i.e., the loss is due to

Option B: Investment in Cardinal Limited Partnership (buys, sells, and operates wine vineyards). Emilys share of the partnerships ordinary income and loss over the next three years would be as follows: Emily is interested in the after-tax effects of these alternatives over a three-year horizon.

- Jason and Kerri Consalvo, both in their 50's, have $47,000 to invest and plan to retire in 10 years. They are considering two investments. The first is a utility company common stock that costs $47 per share and pays dividends of $2.35 per share per year (a 5% dividend yield). Note that these dividends will be taxed at the same rates that apply to long-term capital gains. The Consalvos do not expect the value of this stock to increase. The other investment under consideration is a highly rated corporate bond that currently sells for $1,000 and pays annual interest at a rate of 6.0%, or $60.00 per $1,000 invested. After 10 years, these bonds will be repaid at par, or $1,000 per $1,000 invested. Assume that the Consalvos keep the income from their investments but do not reinvest it (they keep the cash in a non-interest-bearing bank account). They will, however, need to pay income taxes on their investment income. If they buy the stock, they will sell it after 10 years.…arrow_forwardMarlo and Merlins son, Alex, needs 20,000 to start a business. They have 30,000 in securities that they can use to give him the capital he needs. Pertinent information regarding the securities is given below: Marlo and Merlin are in the 28 percent marginal tax rate bracket; Alex is in the 15 percent marginal tax rate bracket. Neither Marlo, Merlin, nor Alex has any other capital asset transactions during the year. Alexs basis in any of the securities gifted to him will be the lesser of his parents basis or the fair market value of the security. Discuss the tax effects of alternate methods of transferring 20,000 to Alex, and devise an optimal plan for making the transfer.arrow_forward
