d. None of the above are correct.

Need all parts answered, please show all work and explanations! Thank you in advance!

Tax Research Assignment 1

Howard purchased raw (undeveloped) land three years ago for $1,500,000 to develop into lots and sell to individuals planning to build their dream homes. Howard intended to treat this property as inventory, like his other development properties. Before completing the development of the property, however, he decided to contribute it to Counterpart Investors LLC when it was worth $2,500,000, in exchange for a 10 percent capital and profits interest. Counterpart's strategy is to hold land for investment purposes only and then sell it later at a gain.

Issue 1. If Counterpart sells the property for $3,000,000 four years after Howard's contribution, how much gain or loss is recognized and what is its character? [Hint: See IRC §724.]

Issue 2. If Counterpart sells the property for $3,000,000 five and one-half years after Howard's contribution, how much gain or loss is recognized and what is its character?

Your memo should be in the format demonstrated in the Tax Research Instruction section. Do not deviate from that format. The memo should be no more than three pages long, and should include an EMBEDDED excel spreadsheet showing the comparison of tax treatment under the two scenarios above. Importantly, be sure to attach the authorities (documents you referred to) to your file and be sure to cite/reference your authorities in the memo.

Explain the facts, Issue, conclusion, discussion, in very detail.

Excel Spreadsheet should show the calculations presented in the memo in a clear, easy-to-follow manner.Relevant tax authority should be provided in the following priority: IRC Code and Regs, other primary authority, secondary authority

Please explain why some managers feel that too much inventory is evil? Please explain in detail.

As a systems analyst you are leading a project to identify improvements for the current R-ADT system. The primary uses of the system include patient scheduling, patient admitting, HIM, case management, and nursing.

Explain what options you have for conducting the requirements analysis, identify which of these you would choose to use and why, and then describe in detail the process you would follow.

**When they say identify which of these you would chose it is referring to these:

System Initiation

Requirements Analysis

System Design

System Construction

System Acceptance

System Implementatio

The Buyer’s Experience

Before starting, please read these instructions thoroughly.

Purpose: To recognize common sales strategies and their effect on the buyer; and analyzes the salesperson’s tactics using material from class. You will be provided with a list of what you are looking for during the interaction.

Your Task: Select a product that you have genuine interest in purchasing sometime in the near future. Find a corporation*, big-box store, or a similar retailer in which you can visit to execute this assignment. For example, Nordstrom, Best-Buy, REI, Ben Bridge Jewelers, etc. If you have interest in buying a new car sometime soon, you may also visit a local car dealer although they may not be as amenable to a 'practice sales session'. The goal is to find a business that has well-trained sales staff.

*Note: It is recommended that you stay away from busy environments such as an Apple Store that has waiting lists for salesperson unless you intend to actually purchase something that day.)

Your assignment is to evaluate the salesperson’s tactics using the material you have learned this quarter. You should begin by expressing interest in the product. Later in the sales dialogue be sure to raise some possible objections to the product (think back to our discussions this quarter & chapter 8).

Observe and make mental notes as to how the salesperson responds. Is their reaction effective? Why? Did they answer all of your objections? Does the salesperson attempt to form a trust-based relationship with you?

At the end of the interaction, identify yourself as a student of a sales class. Ask the salesperson about their product and sales training process. In other words, how extensive does their corporation train their employees? Remember to obtain a business card.

The Written Assignment: Your final paper should be approximately five to seven pages in length (allow for approximately two paragraphs per section) and address each of the following items in memo format. The use of in-text citations in APA format is necessary in most sections. Support from the textbook should be evident; however, the overuse of quotes is prohibited. Each set of chapter questions should represent a memo heading. For example, after your memo introduction, your first memo heading should be: Product Information. Do not repeat the questions themselves in your paper. Be sure to include a separate citation page and scanned copy of the business card. Please use Times New Roman font size 12 / double spaced.

Here are your questions:

In this first section, provide basic information about your visit:

the retailer you visited

the product you were interested in

time and day of your visit

name and position of the sales staff you interacted with
