Answer:

a. The gift consisted of a corporate bond paying $7,500 annual interest to its owner.

  • annual tax savings = interest income x (Mrs. JK's tax bracket - Allison's tax bracket) = $7,500 x (35% - 15%) = $1,500

b. The gift consisted of the $7,500 interest payment on a corporate bond owned by Mrs. JK.

  • no tax savings since the bond is still owned by Mrs. JK, and income will be taxed at her marginal tax rate.

c. The gift consisted of rental property generating $8,300 of annual rental income to its owner.

  • annual tax savings = $8,300 x (35% - 15%) = $1,660

d. The gift consisted of an $8,300 rent check written by the tenants who lease rental property owned by Mrs. JK.

  • no tax savings since the rental property is still owned by Mrs. JK, and income will be taxed at her marginal tax rate.
