Walkure A.G., a multinational corporation from Country A, announced the relocation of its manufacturing plants from Country B to Country C. The news about the relocation was never reported in the media. The move is expected to create positive synergies, as most of the company's other manufacturing operations are based in Country C. The relocation is also expected to lead to tax benefits. The company's shares are traded in three stock exchanges in Country A, Country B, and Country C. Share prices in the three stock exchanges responded to the relocation in three different ways:
Country A: The share price increased drastically after the announcement.
Country B: The share price decreased drastically after the announcement.
Country C: The share price increased marginally after the announcement.
Based solely on the information given, which of the following statements is least likely true of the stock exchanges?
The exchange in Country A is most efficient, as the market reacted…
Traverse County needs a new county government building that would cost $10 million. The politicians feel that voters will not approve a municipal bond issue to fund the building since it would increase taxes. They opt to have a state bank issue $10 million of tax-exempt securities to pay for the building construction. The county then will make yearly lease payments (of principal and interest) to repay the obligation. Unlike conventional municipal bonds, the lease payments are not binding obligations on the county and, therefore, require no voter approval. Required 1. Do you think the actions of the politicians and the bankers in this situation are ethical? 2. In terms of risk, how do the tax-exempt securities used to pay for the building compare to a conventional municipal bond issued by Traverse County?
The Controller was approached by some business colleagues about doing a Section 351 transaction for the formation of a new separate corporation. Big Corporation has a nice parcel of land that they bought for $10,000 but it is worth now $1,000,000. Big Corporation does not want to just sell it because that would be an immediate recognized gain of $990,000 on their tax return. But the Controller heard that if that land were contributed to the new corporation for stock in the new corporation worth $1,000,000, it would not be taxable. Can a Section 351 transaction defer the taxable income if that property is contributed?

The company’s board of directors, after much market research, decided that instead of selling the shopping mall to a local investor who had approached them several times with excellent offers that he steadily increased during the year of construction, the company would hold this property for the purposes of capital appreciation and earning rental income from mall tenants. The construction of the mall ended on December 31, 2019. Sandhill Holdings retained the services of a real estate company to find and attract many important retailers to rent space in the shopping mall.

The sites are downtown (DT) and southwest (SW) of the metropolitan area. The city already owns enough land at the DT site; however, the land for a parking garage will cost $1 million, and construction costs will be $10 million for the parking garage, infrastructure relocation, and drainage. The SW site is 30 km from downtown, but the land will be donated by a developer who knows that an arena at this site will dramatically increase the value of the remainder of his land holdings. Because of its centralized location, there will be greater attendance at most of the events held at the DT site. This will result in more revenue to vendors and local merchants in the amount of $700,000 per year. Additionally, the average attendee will not have to travel as far, resulting in annual benefits of $400,000 per year. All other costs and revenues are expected to be the same…arrow_forwardO Δ You work for a construction company that is considering a bid on a project to modernize the power grid in a country that is recovering from an earthquake.
