Marilyn owns land that she acquired three years ago as an investment for $250,000. Because the land has not appreciated in value as she anticipated, she sells it to her brother, Amos, for its fair market value of $180,000. Amos sells the land two years later for $240,000.

1. Explain why Marilyns realized loss of $70,000 ($180,000 amount realized $250,000 adjusted basis) is disallowed at the time of the sale to her brother.
2. Explain why Amos records neither a recognized gain nor a recognized loss on his sale of the land.
3. How does the related-party disallowance rule affect the total gain or loss recognized by the family unit?
4. Which party wins and which party loses, in a federal income tax sense?
5. How could Marilyn have avoided the loss disallowance on her sale of the land?

7-1. STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION. The successful implementation of selected formulated strategies is not without challenges.

7-2. STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION. Some head football coaches get paid millions, presumably because there is so much money involved in college football the need to win is paramount. However, head coaches are often fired when a season goes badly, with huge payouts to the coach by contract. How could a head coachs compensation package be better structured to encourage winning, and at the same time not be so potentially costly to a university?

7-3. EFFECTIVENESS VS. EFFICIENCY. Chapter 7 says strategy formulation focuses on effectiveness, whereas strategy implementation focuses on efficiency. Contrast business effectiveness with business efficiency. Which is more important: effectiveness or efficiency? Give an example of each concept.

The Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) method is the most popular and highly used statistical technique by researchers. Like T tests, ANOVAs are used to compare the means of groups for a given independent variable to determine whether they are statistically different from each other. However, T tests can only compare two groups. ANOVAs allow you to compare two or more (usually, ANOVAs are conducted with at least three groups). Using ANOVA, you can compare all mean differences simultaneously. This is advantageous as using multiple t tests increases the rate of Type I error, which means rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true (Tarlow, 2016).

For example, say you are interested in whether socioeconomic status is related to individuals self-reported happiness. By separating the individuals into groups representing low, middle, and high socioeconomic status (or even low, low-mid, mid, mid-high and high, or some other combination of groups), you could then determine whether mean reported happiness is different across each of the groups. How many groups might you need to investigate in your own research? If the answer is more than two, then this will be an important week. This week, you will extend your knowledge by identifying and applying the use of a one-way ANOVA test.

 Strategic Planning:

Case Study Overview: In conventional business and government megaprojects–such as hydroelectric dams, chemical-processing plants, or big-bang enterprise-resource-planning systems–the standard approach is to build something monolithic and customized. Such projects must be 100% complete before they can deliver benefits: Even when it’s 95% complete, a nuclear reactor is of no use. On the basis of 30 years of research and consulting on megaprojects, the author has found two factors that play a critical role in determining success or failure: replicable modularity in design and speed in iteration. The article examines those factors by looking at well-known megaprojects, both successful ones, and cautionary tales.

The impact the daguerreotype had on the middle class cannot be overstated.  Before the nineteenth century only the wealthy had the means to commemorate their likeness.  The daguerreotype was the great equalizer.  For the first time, everyday people could now make their own visual history.  In our age of smart phones, social media and selfies, it is difficult to imagine what it must have been like to have an image of oneself, one’s family, dog, vacation.  Can you imagine being able to have your very first portrait taken?  What are your thoughts and opinions on that?  Spend some time looking at daguerreotypes and choose an image that is fascinating to you and copy and paste it into your post.  What do you think the image says about the person in it?  Would you have liked to know them?  Do you think they are different than you?  What would you imagine their interests, lives etc. would be like? 

We take so many pictures of ourselves for everyone to see in an instant.  What is your favorite picture of yourself and why?  Where are you and what are you doing wearing, etc.  Is it difficult to choose just one?   If possible include it in the discussion.
