1-What is the difference between the end point and equivalence point in a titration? How can you tell them apart?

2- If you have 15 mL of 2 M HCl, how many moles are present in solution?

 

3-Student 1 is titrating NaOH into HCl, the student pours 10.00 mL of 2 M HCl into an erlenmeyer flask and adds 2 drops of phenolphthalein indicator and 15 mL of deionized water. The student places the burette with NaOH inside of it above the acid solution and records that there are 30 mL of 1 M NaOH in the burette. The student turns the stopcock to begin the titration. The solution in the flask turns pink and the student stops the titration. The student records that the volume of 1 M NaOH is now at 9 mL. How many moles of HCl were there? How many moles of NaOH were added to the flask during the titration? What is the experimental molar ratio of NaOH:HCl? What is the theoretical ratio? What is the percent error?

Capital Gains

After reading this article, many of the planning opportunities could be beneficial in a corporate and independent business setting. One of the most important statements in the referenced website is, “Capital gains are not something you factor in after deciding your business strategy … they are something that should be part of your business strategy from the very beginning” (www.forbes.com). This tax regime can greatly impact business decisions if your business is not planned around potential capital gains and losses. My place of employment is a nationally recognized gym chain. Instead of purchasing equipment at full price and taking a hit of depreciation, we have decided to lease equipment for certain time periods and that also allows us to exchange our equipment in when a new product comes out. This is very beneficial because we do not have to worry about capital losses when depreciation hits hundreds of gyms around the clock. Selling a business for its assets could be beneficial in this setting due to the type of equipment turnover there is. One of the major pro’s is if you declare a taxable capital loss, you can carry it back for three years or carry it forward indefinitely until you declare a capital gain. Another pro is that you are not taxed on capital gains until disposition. Con’s are also prevalent when discussing capital gains and losses. One of the major cons is when having a capital gain all of the profits are taxed in the current year. Also, some business plans have the unfortunate ability of being taxed multiple times with short and long-term tax hits.

Capital Gains

The Business owner’s personal tax is determined on the corporation type. Per the Article, “Whether long-term or short-term, a capital gain is factored into the dreaded 3.8% Medicare Surtax. The question is whether it is on top of a 20% long-term capital gain rate or a 39.6% rate for short-term capital gains. Further, timing is crucial because the 3.8% tax only applies when the taxpayer has exceeded a threshold for modified adjusted gross income ($250,000 for married taxpayers). The nature and timing of a business sale can greatly affect the business owner’s overall rate of personal taxes.” (Parrish, 2014) The primary factor being time due to the income, which may or may not have been generated can determine how much tax will be taken on based on how much money was actually made- to be taxed. Though the long-term tax amount is shorter it is still much less than the short-term capital gain costs. If the $250,000 (if married) threshold is not met before the timing deadline, then it is considered long-term, which will only make the total tax to be paid 23.8%, while short term overall taxation will be 43.4% which is practically double in taxes based on timing alone. This pro and con seems like it would simply be a smarter move to have a business whether large or small grow slowly so that the timing is in place to not be taxed at such a high rate, and then allow the business to grow more fast to allow time to actually earn capital which will not be taxed as high in the end anyhow, but you will incur a tax.  The pro-portion of this is, “Capital gains and losses are classified as long-term or short-term, depending on how long you hold the property before you sell it. If you hold it more than one year, your capital gain or loss is long-term. If you hold it one year or less, your capital gain or loss is short-term.” (IRS.gov, 2011) REFERENCES: Ten Important Facts About Capital Gains and Losses. (2011, February 18).
