Suppose you are a CPA hired to represent a client that is currently under examination by IRS. The client is the president and 95% shareholder of a building supply sales and warehousing business. He also owns 50% of thr stock of a construction company. The client's son owns the remaining 50% of the stock of the construcyion company. The client has received a Notice of Proposed Adjustments (NPA) on three (3) significant issues identified in the NPA are unreasonable compensation, stock redemptions, and a rental loss, Unreasonable compensation: The taxpayer receive a salary of $10 million composed of a $5 million. The total gross receipts of the building supply business are $300 million. The NPA by the IRS disallows the salary based on 5% of gross receipts as a constructive dividend. Stock redemptions: During the audit period, the construction company redeemed 50% of the outstanding stock owned by the client and 50% of the stock owned by the client's son, leaving each with the same ownership percentage of 50%. The IRS treated the redemption as a distribution under Section 301 of the IRC. Rental loss: The rental loss results from a building leased to the construction company owned by the client. Use the internet to research the rules and income tax laws regarding unreasonable compensation, stock redemptions treated as dividends and related party losses. Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you (1) Based on your research and the facts stated in the scenario, prepare a recommendation for the client in which you advise either acceptance of the proposed adjustments or further appeal of the issue based on the potential for prevailing on appeal, (2) Create a tax plan for the future redemption of the client's stock owned in the construction company that will not be taxed according to Section 301 of the IRC. (3) Propose a strategy for the client to receive similar amounts in compensation in the future and avoid the taxation as a constructive dividend.

For the amusement of the guests, some hotels have elevators on the outside of the building. One such hotel is 300 feet high. You are standing by a window 100 feet above the ground and 150 feet away from the hotel, and the elevator descends at a constant speed of 30 ft/sec, starting at time

t = 0,

where t is time in seconds. Let θ be the angle between the line of your horizon and your line of sight to the elevator.

(a) Find a formula for

h(t),

the elevator's height above the ground as it descends from the top of the hotel.
h(t) =  

  

(b) Using your answer to part (a), express θ as a function of time

t.

θ(t) =  

tan−1(2−t5​)

Find the rate of change of θ with respect to t.

=  

(c) The rate of change of θ is a measure of how fast the elevator appears to you to be moving. At what height is the elevator when it appears to be moving fastest?

A question of interest to game managers is the hunting strategy of predators. Do they just take the first prey that comes along, or are the selective? In a study of winter prey selection in a National Park, radio-tagged wolves were observed to have killed prey according to the table below. Wolves were identified as the predators by their tracks in the snow. At the most recent census in the National Park there were about 3,500 white-tailed deer, 1,000 elk, and 500 moose.

                                                                               Prey Selection by Wolves

Do these data provide sufficient evidence at the a=.05 level that the wolves are not selecting their prey at random? That is, is there evidence that the proportion of deer, elk, and moose killed by wolves are not in the same proportion as in the park population? Justify your response with an appropriate statistical analysis. Using a=.05

Milky entered into a contract for the hire of 6 rooms in New Castle Hotel in    Kowloon West. The purpose of the contract was to watch the fireworks gala in the Victoria Harbour on the 1st July (Reunification Day) through the windows of the rooms. Milky planned to invite her close friends and their families to stay in the 6 rooms to enjoy the fireworks. Just two hours before start of the fireworks, the Hong Kong Police Force received a serious threat from some terrorist organizations that they would launch large scale attack to the crowds who gathered to watch the fireworks. The Hong Kong Government immediate ordered the cancellation of the fireworks and gave an order that this kind of gala will not be launched at least for five years. Milky, having already paid a deposit, refused to pay the balance of the room charges. The hotel took legal action to recover the balance.

Required:

Analyse the chance of success by the hotel and explain in detail the legal principles that you base on for analysis.
