I hope you're a management major and not an acct or fin major.

Marketing major but we have to take a tax class here. Makes no sense really. Stuff is hard

Engineering or bust. Marketing is a joke. Learning these two problems actually will help you in life. Instead of asking the OT for help on your homework try applying the agile methodology process so you can use the process of application to solve these easy problems.

2 should be easy

Salary-interest (+/-) the income/loss from hobby. You can deduct taxes if u itemize your deductions rather than take the standard.

i'll give you a hint on #2 but i ain't doing it for you lazy arse.

hobby income is recognized above the line. expenses related to the hobby (other than taxes, interest) are miscellaneous itemized deductions.

you're welcome.

These are pretty straightforward.

1) "FIFO" means "first in, first out". Since she bought 200 shares to start with for $10,500, that is the cost of the first 200 shares she sells.

The cost of anything she sells above that depends on when she bought it. The next ten shares cost her $80/share, the next twenty cost her $970, and the next twenty after cost her $980.

But she only sold 100, which was less than the original purchase. So her basis is just half of her original purchase price.

If you want more help than that, you need to post pics of Blake.

2) I don't want pics of Reggie so GTFO.
