Calculate the amount of gift tax due this year and Casey’s unused exemption equivalent under the following alternatives. (Refer to Exhibit 25-1 and Exhibit 25-2.) (Enter your answers in dollars, not millions of dollars. Leave no answer blank. Enter zero if applicable.)

a. This year Casey made a taxable gift of $1 million to Stephanie. Casey is not married, and the 2010 gift was the only other taxable gift he has ever made.

Question (1)

On January 1, 2010, XYZ Co purchased equipment for $550,000. XYZ expects the

equipment to remain useful for 5 years and to have a residual value of $50,000. The company

uses the straight line method to depreciate its equipment. The company sold the equipment

on January 1, 2012 for $370,000 for cash.

Required:

1. Compute the annual Depreciation expense for each of 2010 and 2011.

2A: Record the journal entry for Depreciation in 2011.

2B: Record the journal entry for the sale of the equipment on January 1, 2012.

Arizona uses a three-tier system for regulation of wine sales in the state. Suppliers sell to wholesalers, who sell to retailers, who sell to the public. However, an exception is provided for small wineries that produce no more than 20,000 gallons of wine annually; they may sell an unlimited amount of wine directly to the public and directly to retailers, regardless of where the small winery is located. A second exception allows any winery to ship up to two cases of its wine per year directly to a consumer, but only if the consumer is physically at the winery when the order is placed. Black Star Farms, a winery that produces 40,000 gallons of wine annually and thus cannot take advantage of the small-winery exception, sued to have the exceptions struck down on grounds that they violated the dormant commerce clause. The district court found that there was no violation of the dormant commerce clause because the law treated both in-state and out-of-state wineries the same. How do you think the appellate court ruled on Black Star Farm's appeal and why? [Black Star Farms v. Oliver, 600 F.3d 1225 (2010).]

EMR/EHR are here to stay ~ let's take them to the next level!

Electronic health records have been put into place, have been tweaked, and are currently a standard part of our healthcare system.

The original goals of EMRs 10 yrs ago were large ~ maybe too large. According to Commonwealth Fund Vice President Anne-Marie Audet, M.D, the current research indicates that improving care coordination will not happen with technology alone. She suggests that we need to redesign the processes of giving care and workflow. She also suggests that clinicians will need to adopt new ways of working and communicating within practices and across organizations. (Link (Links to an external site.) Links to an external site.)

Recent studies have found that the initiation of EMRs have had some unintended outcomes:

Current EMRs can create information overload that complicates providers' efforts to discern key clinical information. And managing information overflow from EMRs is a challenge for clinicians.

Clinicians believe current EMRs have limited ability to capture dynamic planning and the medical decision-making process in a way that supports future coordination needs—present EMRs focus on linear (moment-in-time) documentation while care coordination is dynamic and ongoing.

To maximize the potential of an EMR for coordination involves ongoing evolution of clinical care processes as well as clinician input on EMR design modifications and standards for data exchange to support those processes.

Modifying reimbursement to encourage coordination of care by clinicians will likely drive clinicians to demand better EMR functioning to support coordination.

Simply creating incentives to adopt EMRs as they currently exist, given the confines of the current payment system, have resulted in EMRs being designed for billing purposes primarily rather than for clinical relevance to patients and care coordination.

DISCUSSION: Review the readings, PowerPoint, the youtube videos and the linked article. Answer 2 of the following questions. and respond to 1 peer.

So ~ Where to from Here? How do we maximize EMRs/EHRs?   

What impact has the last 10 yrs of computerization of medical records had on healthcare and what do the next 10 yrs hold in this area?   

Have the advantages outweigh the disadvantages? (Identify and expand on them)

What possible opportunities do EHR/EMR hold for the future? ~ This is a place to brainstorm and think BIG!
