    @Pass, I agree with you that not all of MAID(s) applies to innocent misrep.. I can see where the M, A, and D come from but based on their I definition – if it was innocent, how was there intent to induce? I agree with Lauren, on the MAIDS being applicable to both inducement and execution.

    @BEA – let me know if you have any other questions.. I'm also in the review stages and just finished R4 this afternoon, almost done with R5 (hopefully by tonight). I'm going on 12 hours of sitting here, 10 hours of solid studying. lol

    AUD: DONE

    PasstheCPA7,

    Lauren725 gave great advice. The only thing I'd like to add is that the MAID mnemonic is only used when the party made an “Innocent Misrepresentation.” Reference is R6-14 of Becker.

    The answer is a. $2,250.

    This uses the mid-month convention depreciated over 39 years. You also have to deduct the 30,000 for land to get the price of the building.

    (234,000/39) * (4.5/12) = 2,250

    Amor D,

    I still have no clue. Where did you pull those from? I don't recall seeing it in the Becker material.

    An employee may exercise up to $100,000 of incentive stock options in one year.

    Okay, you don't get $20 VS coupon then, LOL.

    It's Incentive Stock Option

    Requirements: 1-2-3-10-10-100,000

    • Granted under a plan, approved by the shareholders, that sets out the total number of shares that may be issued and who may receive them.

    • Must be granted within 10 years at the earlier of the date when the plan was adopted or approved; must be exercisable within 10 years of the grant date.

    • Exercise price may not be less than the FMV of the stock at the date of the grant.

    • The employee may not own more than 10% of the combined voting power of the corporation, parent, or subsidiary as of the date of the grant.

    • Once exercised, the stock must be held at least 2 years after the grant date and at least one year after the exercise date.

    • Must remain an employee of the corporation from the date the option is granted until 3 months (1 year if due to permanent and total disability) before the option is exercised.

    • An employee may exercise up to $100,000 of ISOs in a year. Any amount exercised that exceeds this will be treated as a non-qualifying option.

    I would not be able to remember such requirements so I played with those numbers like I was going to play a lottery ticket and win power ball this week.

    The book says the excess of $100,000 will be treated as a nonqualifying option.
