On January 2, Chaz transfers cash of $143,400 to a newly formed corporation for 100% of the stock. In its initial year, the corporation has net income of $35,850. The income is credited to its earnings and profits account. The corporation distributes $10,755 to Chaz.
A. How do Chaz and the corporation treat the $10,755 distribution?
B. Assume instead that Chaz transfers to the corporation cash of $71,700 for stock and cash of $71,700 for a note of the same amount. The note is payable in equal annual installments of $7,170 and bears interest at the rate of 6%. No distributions are made during the year to Chaz. However, at the end of the year, the corporation pays an amount to meet the loan obligation(i.e., the annual $7,170 principal payment plus the interest due). Determine the total amount of the payment and its tax treatment to Chaz and the corporation.

Hossa’s management was pleased that 20X2 net income was up 6.5% from the prior year. Although you are also happy with the increase in net income, you are not so sure the news is all positive. You have modeled Hossa’s income as follows:
NET INCOME = SALES × (1 − COGS% − OPEX%) × (1 − TAX RATE)
Using this model, net income in 20X1 is computed as $5,500 × (1 − 45% − 15%) × (1 − 22%) = $1,716.0. Net income in 20X2 is computed as $6,500 × (1 − 47% − 16%) × (1 − 24%) = $1,827.8.
Required:
Prepare a cause-of-change analysis to show the extent to which each of the following items contributed to the $111.8 million increase in Hossa’s net income from 20X1 to 20X2: (Do not round intermediate calculations.

A landowner has just acquired 370 acres of new land, and is using the Cost-Benefit Principle to decide between three alternative uses for the land: growing corn, growing soybeans, or renting it to a local farmer. If corn is planted, the landowner expects to earn $980 per acre, while soybeans pay only $575 per acre. Renting the land earns the landowner $400 per acre. In addition, the cost of growing and harvesting corn is estimated to be $203,500, while only $88,800 for soybeans. We can assume there are no costs associated with renting the land.

Required:
a. For this landowner, the opportunity, or implicit cost of growing corn is $___________ from____________
b. The opportunity, or implicit cost of growing soybeans is $___________ from ___________
c. The landowner maximizes economic surplus by ____________

Consider two neighboring island countries called Euphoria and Bellissima. They each have 4 million labor hours available per week that they can use to produce jeans, corn, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of jeans or corn that can be produced using 1 hour of labor.Country Jeans Corn (Pairs per hour of labor) (Bushels per hour of labor)Euphoria 5 20Bellissima 8 16Initially, suppose Bellissima uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce jeans and 3 million hours per week to produce corn, while Euphoria uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce jeans and 1 million hours per week to produce corn. Consequently, Euphoria produces 15 million pairs of jeans and 20 million bushels of corn, and Bellissima produces 8 million pairs of jeans and 48 million bushels of corn. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of jeans and corn it produces.Euphoria’s opportunity cost of producing 1 pair of jeans is of corn, and Bellissima's opportunity cost of producing 1 pair of jeans is of corn. Therefore, has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans, and has a comparative advantage in the production of corn.Suppose that each country completely specializes in the production of the good in which it has a comparative advantage, producing only that good. In this case, the country that produces jeans will producemillion pairs per week, and the country that produces corn will producemillion bushels per week.In the following table, enter each country's production decision on the third row of the table (labeled "Production"). Euphoria Bellissima Jeans Corn Jeans Corn (Millions of pairs) (Millions of bushels) (Millions of pairs) (Millions of bushels)Without TradeProduction 15 20 8 48Consumption 15 20 8 48With TradeProduction Imports/Exports Consumption Gains from TradeIncrease in Consumption Suppose the country that produces jeans trades 18 million pairs of jeans to the other country in exchange for 54 million bushels of corn.In the previous table, use the dropdown menus across the row labeled "Imports/Exports" to select the amount of each good that each country imports and exports. Then enter each country’s final consumption of each good on the line labeled "Consumption."When the two countries did not specialize, the total production of jeans was 23 million pairs per week, and the total production of corn was 68 million bushels per week. Because of specialization, the total production of jeans has increased bymillion pairs per week, and the total production of corn has increased bymillion bushels per week.Because the two countries produce more jeans and more corn under specialization, each country is able to gain from trade.Calculate the gains from trade—that is, the amount by which each country has increased its consumption of each good relative to the first row of the previous table. Enter this difference in the boxes across the last row (labeled "Increase in Consumption").
