THANK YOU!!

a) Eloise would need to include $150000 in her gross income because this settlement would be interpreted as a compensation for compensatory damages.

b) Nell must include $10000 in her gross income as a compensation for her personal damage. Similarly, her punitive damages of $40000 must also be included in her gross income . So overall, Nell would include $50000 in her gross income.

c) This amount is for compensatory damages for nonphysical damages which means that $50000 should be included in gross income.

d) Since Beth sustained physical injuries, therefore, compensatory damages of $ 10000 will be excluded from gross income and punitive damages of $30000 will be included in her gross income.

e) $75000 will be excluded as Joanne already sustained physical injuries and $ 300000 will be included.
