Principal Residence Designation

Since 1998, Petumala Fluffy has owned a residence in Kelowna, British Columbia. It was acquired in that year at a cost of $623,000.

In 2006, Petumala was appointed to the Senate and, because of the significant amount of time that she was required to be present in Ottawa, she acquired a second residence in that city. The cost of this residence was $426,000. In each of the subsequent years, she spent some time at each residence.

In 2017, following allegations that she had claimed and double claimed completely inappropriate travel costs, she resigned from the Senate. As this created severe financial difficulties (among other problems), she sold both residences and moved in with her mother. The Kelowna house sold for $897,000, while the Ottawa home sold for $534,000. These amounts are net of all real estate fees.

Ms. Fluffy would like to minimize any capital gain that arises as the result of selling the two properties.

Required: Describe how the residences should be designated in order to accomplish Ms. Petumala’s goal. In addition, calculate the total amount of the gain that would arise under the designation that you have recommended.

The U.S. and many other governments spend more then it raises in taxation almost every year. Since 1965 the federal government has balanced its budget 4 times (1969, 1998-2000). What are the moral aspects of this? What are the moral failings of the people (government and voters) that allow us to justify non-stop borrowing from the future to pay for current consumption? What should we do and why don't we do it?

Note: This was all the information provided in the questions. I removed the 3rd question because I figured it out.

Belinda wants to buy a second-hand car and visits a number of car dealers before deciding to purchase an as new 1998 Ford Mustang from American Car Sales. The sales person, Jaxson, tells Belinda that the car was manufactured in 1998 and had only done 54,000 kms.

Three months later, Belinda has the Mustang serviced with her local mechanic who was a Mustang enthusiast. He comments on the fact that the car was in pretty good condition for a 1994 Mustang, though he was surprised that it had only done 54,000 kms. He would not have been surprised if it had done 100,000 kms.

Belinda makes further inquiries and discovers that the Mustang was in fact made in 1994 and she has paid about $5,000 more than the actual market value of the car. Belinda intends to approach American Car Sales about this issue.
