...properties that are more suitable but whose fair market values slightly exceed that of the current ten-story building: 1. Single-story building on a large, attractive lot. (If the company were to select this property it intends to demolish the building and build a specially designed building on the lot), or 2. Two-building complex with retail shops on the ground floor of one building and residential rental property in a portion of the other building. Both sellers of the listed properties appeared to be interested in entering an exchange transaction whereby the company’s property would be exchanged for one of the other properties. After careful consideration Company X decided to exchange its existing property for the retail and residential building complex. Details of the exchange were as follows: 1. Both parties agree to use a “middleman” corporation to initially convey each of their respective properties. 2. Company X would sell its property to the middleman. Within 45 day of initial closing, Company X would formally identify which of the two new properties it intends to acquire. 3. The identified property’s, which was also sold to the middleman, title would be transferred from the middleman corporation to Company X within 180 days of the initial closing. Unfortunately, the transaction did not proceed as planned. After Company X transferred its property to the middleman and received its fair market value of $10,000,000 in cash, the seller of the two-building...

...into the Sec. 170(f)(8). "Separate contributions of less than $250 are not subject to the requirements of section 3. Why was the tax court skeptical of the petitioner argument? • This donation occurred in conjunction with a single event, the Church's annual flea market. Petitioners' testimony that they intentionally made all other contributions in batches worth less than $250 requires the assumption that they made these donations, with an alleged value of $24,200, on 97 distinct occasions. This assumption is implausible and has no support in the record. • Petitioners testified that they did not assign values to the donated items until they prepared their tax return in 2012. That being so, it is hard to see how they could have ensured, at the time they contributed the property, that each individual batch was worth less than $250 • Petitioners allegedly made noncash contributions to four different charities of seven categories of items, each with a claimed value exceeding $500. But they did not maintain written records establishing when or how these items were acquired or what their cost bases were. Nor did petitioners maintain written records establishing how they calculated the items' fair market value. 4. With regards to clothing and book donations, the court disallowed both contributions. Congress imposes strict standards on reporting large money donations, so with that in mind, why did the court disallow those contributions – even with written documentation by the...

Early in 2010 these floods disasters “have destroyed million acres, affecting an estimated 25per cent of the cotton crop and have pushed the price of cotton to rocket up in recent weeks by more than 700 per cent” (Poulter S., September 14, 2010). What is more, as the different taxes rise and appear the price of cotton rise as well. Other thing which influencing the price of the cotton is increasing price of import. With regular increase of the price of fuel also the price of the transport will increase and it leads to increase of the price of the imported cotton. The diagram below shows that with the decrease in the supply and no change in demand price of the cotton will increase. 3.

In the article “Fashion chains far from cheerful about future of cheap chic” from September 2010 on the website the Quardian is stated that the increase in the cotton price has its roots in the financial crisis of two years ago, when farmers stopped planting low-value cotton and switched to higher-value crops such as corn and soya.

...In order to be fair on the bonus distribution, the bonus should be distributed base on the percentage of the how much value employees contributed to the company. As employees in the company, they have the obligations to contribute an amount of value to the company, at lease worthy for the company paying their salary. The value of employees contributed to the company may include marketing sell, accounting and finance arrangement, managing coworker finished projects and so on. As a result, no matter what department the employees are in, or what position they have, they should have bonus as long as their contribution is greater than expectation. The bonus distribution system is most effective when base on how much value employees contributed to the company. Some may say everyone should have the same amount of bonus because they are all employees of the company and they are no different. So they have to have the same amount of bonus as long as the company is doing well, and which is the real fairness. It sounds fair if everyone get the same amount of bonus, but it is actually not fair for those who spend much time on their work and those who are able to get revenue and make profit for the company. If everyone get the same, why some of the employees should spend more time or do more work than others; it is not fair for them. However, those people who spend much time and able to get revenue for the company are people who drive the company stay in the market and get forward. If bonus...

Yet, population is growing at a decelerating pace and should reach its peak in less than two decades. Current methods of population control will be relaxed as the growth of population slows. The fertility rate is presently 1.6 births per female (below replacement level) and is expected to remain at that level in the medium term. The median age is steadily rising and by 2011 it was 35.5years –16.9 years greater than the figure for 1980. In fact, population aging is occurring more quickly in China than in most other countries. The country's working age population will begin to fall by 2017. By 2040, there...

...economics, "dumping" is any kind of predatory pricing, especially in the context of international trade. It occurs when manufacturers export a product to another country at a price either below the price charged in its home market, or in quantities that cannot be explained through normal market competition. Dumping can force established domestic producers out of a market and lead to monopolistic positions by the exporting nation. For example, a glut of Chinese garlic exports in the mid 2000s forced many North American producers to switch crops and leave the market. When the price of Chinese garlic soared in 2009, the shuttered North American businesses were unable to quickly re-enter the local market due to barriers to entry.[citation needed] * | [edit] Overview A standard technical definition of dumping is the act of charging a lower price for a good in a foreign market than one charges for the same good in a domestic market. This is often referred to as selling at less than "fair value". Under the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement, dumping is condemned (but is not prohibited) if it causes or threatens to cause material injury to a domestic industry in the importing country.[1] The term has a negative connotation as advocates of free markets see "dumping" as a form of protectionism. Furthermore, advocates for workers and laborers believe that safeguarding businesses against predatory practices, such as dumping, help alleviate some of the harsher consequences of...

It started by focusing on developing countries and selling them entry-level phones. In this way Nokia gains customers loyalty ahead of its competitors and after the economic emerges, those customers would be more likely to stick with them. In order to capture customer value, Nokia has put an effort in understanding the marketplace and customer needs, which is the first step to create value for customers and build customer relationships (Kotler, Armstrong and Parment, 2011). In this market segment, they position themselves as entry-level phones and to create differentiation in the market, Nokia has done some primary data collection to gain customer insights. They did ethnographic research to get to know customers. To meet the need of cheap phones, they changed the packaging and managed to cut down the cost by more than SEK 1 billion...

...labor to integrate into the whole world trade supply chain. From his view, the world is really becoming a seamless world factory where every country works in cooperation along this supply chain. Meanwhile, globalization is bringing a set of globalized values to every corner of the world. Indeed, the world seems like a truly fair playing ground. However, in my view, the world is just far from being flat. The world is in a huge imbalance. Due to the comparative advantage of labor between developing countries and developed countries, the world capital is flowing from the US and European countries which have high labor cost to emerging economies like China and India where there are abundant supply of cheap and skilled labor. On one hand, China and the other emerging economies are accelerating their integration into the interdependence world factory. Gaps in living standards, wage and technology are quickly shrinking. The benefits of economic boom are spreading from those advanced economies to emerging economies. On the other hand, this economic model results in huge trade imbalance and further solidifies the dominance of the developed economies on the upper end of the value chain. To sustain the high annual growth rate, China has to rely on its export-oriented economic model, which caused huge trade surplus and over-supply of currency. Such...
