Mr. Smith is a resident of the UK. Last year he sold an apartment in Germany. According to the DTC between UK and Germany income derived from immovable property is taxable in the Contracting State in which the property is situated (Article 6). Besides this, Article 13(1) of the same DTC provides that gains arising on the disposal of immovable property are taxable in the Contracting State in which the property is situated. Finally, Article 23 of the tax treaty regarding the exemption method provides as follows:

a) Income and property other than that referred to below in point (b) of this paragraph shall be exempt from the UK taxes referred to in Article 2(3)(b), where that income or property may be taxed in Germany under this convention.

b) Notwithstanding the provisions of points (a) and (b) of this paragraph, UK tax on the part of income which is taxable in UK under this convention may be calculated at the rate of tax corresponding to the total amount of taxable income in accordance with UK tax legislation’.

Due to the sale of the apartment, Mr. Smith acknowledged a loss of 500 000 EUR in his income tax return. He stressed that he did not have any income in Germany form which he could deduct the loss. However, in the UK he had capital gains from the sale of shares of 1.000 000 EUR. The UK Tax Agency did not allow him to deduct the losses, which he sustained on the sale of immovable property in Germany from the income charged to tax in the UK.

The price of a car you are interested in buying is $93.45k. You negotiate a 6-year loan, with no money down and no monthly payments during the first year. After the first year, you will pay $1.23k per month for the following 5 years, with a balloon payment at the end to cover the remaining principal on the loan. The annual percentage rate (APR) on the loan with monthly compounding is 5%. What will be the amount of the balloon payment 6 years from now?

Note: The term “k” is used to represent thousands (× $1,000).

Required: Suppose the loan has initially been paid in full (without a balance due at maturity), the amount would have totaled $37k. Calculate the absolute percentage difference between the fully amortized loan and the balloon payment.

LN Consulting is a calendar year, cash basis unincorporated business. The business is not required to provide audited financial statements to any external user. LN's accounting records show the following:

Cash receipts:   

Revenues from service contracts $292,000

Proceeds from sale of mutual fund shares 18,000

Insurance reimbursement for fire loss 7,000

Cash disbursements:   

Administrative salaries $32,000

Professional fees 800

State and local business taxes 5,000

Interest expense 7,600

Advertising 970

Office expense 1,200

Office rent 14,400

New office equipment 8,300

LN's records reveal the following facts:

  • In December, the bookkeeper prepaid $1,500 interest on a business debt. This interest is related to the next taxable year.
  • LN disposed of two assets during the year. It exchanged computer equipment for office furniture. (These assets are not like-kind for federal tax purposes.) The original cost of the computer equipment was $13,000, and accumulated MACRS depreciation through date of exchange was $9,700. The office furniture has a $6,000 FMV. It sold 1,200 shares in a mutual fund for $18,000. LN purchased the shares as a short-term investment of excess working capital. The cost of the shares was $16,600.
  • An electrical fire completely destroyed a company car. The adjusted basis of the car was $9,100, and LN's property insurance company paid $7,000 in complete settlement of its damage claim. LN used the insurance money to pay various operating expenses.
  • MACRS depreciation for assets placed in service in prior years (including the computer equipment and company car) is $4,600. The only asset acquired this year (in addition to the office furniture) was office equipment costing $8,300. The equipment was placed in service on August 19.

On the basis of these facts, compute the taxable income generated by LN Consulting's activities, before any 20 percent (QBI) deduction that might be available to LN's owners.
