Missy, age 30, has owned her principal residence (adjusted basis of $225,000) for five years. During the first three years of ownership, she occupied it as her principal residence. During the past two years, she was in graduate school and rented the residence. After graduate school, Missy returned to the same location where she previously worked. At this point, she purchased another residence for $400,000 and listed her old residence for sale at $340,000. Due to a slow real estate market, 11 months later Missy finally receives an offer of $330,000.

1. What is Missy’s recognized gain if she immediately accepts the $330,000 offer (i.e., 11 months after the listing date)? Selling expenses are $20,000.
2. What is Missy’s recognized gain if she rejects the $330,000 offer and accepts another offer of $340,000 three months later (i.e., 14 months after the listing date)?
3. Advise Missy on which offer she should accept (assume that she is in the 24% tax bracket).

Responses to this:

I would report the shady, dangerous work. How I would go about doing it is making sure that I have all the evidence that I need to prove that the other company is doing some shady, dangerous work then report it to the proper authorities. The reason that I would want to report the problem is because of the possible legal trouble that all of the companies involved in the project could face and I wouldn’t want my company to be seen as responsible or a contributor to the problem. Even if you don’t report the problem and you were involved in the project where the issue came from, you could possibly face some or even the same penalties that the company doing wrong will face. Its more trouble than its worth to not report the problem and not prevent anything else bad from happening as soon as you can. To take care of the legal issues that come with being involved could, and possibly can, cost more than 20% of your revenue that you can lose by reporting the problem. Based off of that assumption it’s better to just report the issue as early as you can to minimize the negative affects it can have on the project or your company itself. Why that was my decision is because of the safety for the business, our customers, employees, and anyone else that can be affected by the dangerous work. Peoples safety, whether that be my own employees, our customers, etc., is a top priority.

The decision of reporting the problem is still a good decision in my opinion (regardless of people’s sex, race, skin color, native language, monetary outcome, etc.) because it stops a problem that can do more harm than good. I feel that when one person’s sense of correct ethical behavior overrules another person’s ethical behavior is when people’s safety, well-being, and company reputation is at risk. One person’s views are going to be very different (or even the opposite) of the next persons. In some cases, what may seem “correct” or “ethical” to some is actually harmful and dangerous to those that the issue affects. If you and your company are more worried about making sure that the products sell instead of the safety of said products and safety of your employees what does that say about your ethics and values? This can create a bad reputation for the company and result in loss of revenue among other issues. Above all human safety and doing the right thing should be a top priority for all companies. My personal sense of right and good for others can be an accurate yardstick. But as I mentioned earlier what you may think is right for everyone may not be the case or others may see it as the opposite of what you want it to be. When it can be an accurate yardstick is when the outcome of my views of right and good for others has a major positive impact or at least leads whatever the case may be in the right direction to create some good.
