C. Theon the sale of the asset in 2020 is $.

A. $191,818

B. $303

C. Loss; $11,515

Explanation:

A. Calculation to determine what The adjusted basis of the asset at the end of 2019 is

Cost of asset $200,000

Less Greater of allowed and allowable cost recovery:

2018 $910

2019 $7,272 ($8,182)

($910+$7,272=$81,82)

Adjusted basis of the asset at the end of 2019 $191,818

($200,000-$8,182)

Therefore the Adjusted basis of the asset at the end of 2019 will be $191,818

B. Calculation to determine what The cost recovery deduction for 2020 is

Cost recovery deduction for 2020= ($200,000 x .03636 x 0.5 / 12)

Cost recovery deduction for 2020=$303

Therefore The Cost recovery deduction for 2020 is $303

C. Calculation to determine what Theon the sale of the asset in 2020 is

Based on the information given we would be using 0.3636 as the percentage for 27.5-year assets.

Cost of asset $200,000

Less Greater of allowed and allowable cost recovery:

2018 $910

2019 $7,272 ($8,182)

($910+$7,272=$81,82)

Adjusted basis of the asset at the end of 2019 $191,818

($200,000-$8,182)

Less Cost recovery for 2020 $303

($200,000 * .03636 * 0.5 / 12)

Basis on date of sale $191,515

($191,818-$303)

Loss on sale of asset ($11,515)

($180,000 – $191,515)

Therefore The LOSS on the sale of the asset in 2020 is $11,515

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
