    I have trending for tax and ethics topics about 85% and average 75-79, but overall trending is 76% because I still have 450 questions I didn't even see (blaw)

    Tap, a calendar-year S corporation, reported the following items of income and expense in the current year:

    Revenue $44,000

    Operating expenses 20,000

    Long-term capital loss 6,000

    Charitable contributions 1,000

    Interest expense 4,000

    What is the amount of Tap's ordinary income?

    you rock anj…..WHY DID YOU DEDUCT 4000? I Thought Investment interest expense should flow to shareholder.

    eh I saw questions like that before, income flows to shareholder, not the expense

    @willpassby I am thinking it as if We are adding all the incomes “S” corp. separate/non separate, exempt/non-exempt in calculation, So Inventment Interest expense is an expense to generate income so we are deducting 4000/- in ordinary business expense..

    I hope I am making sense..

    Because whatever interest income that investment will generate that will flow through to..Shareholders..So deducting at initial level gives you net income..

    I know I am not clear with my writing skills…

    no_one, I think it's more conceptual thing though. Interest income is not considered ordinary income for individual, but interest expense is just company ordinary expense and don't relate to portfolio income, at least they don't say it does in this case.

    Jstay: Your experience sounds pretty positive overall. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised come score release day. I wouldn't start restudying until you actually get a score.

    Just posted my experience in the REG experience thread. Not anything you haven't heard before regarding the exam. Just an emotions dump.

    Some topics I thought I was definitely going to see on the exam that I didn't have a single question on. That worries me some. One in particular comes to mind that REALLY bothers me.

    Can anyone help with this? I'm getting confused. I thought an enforceable contract under UCC had to have a set price, quantity and and time for performance.

    Under the U.C.C. Sales Article, which of the following conditions will prevent the formation of an

    enforceable sale of goods contract?

    A. Open price

    B. Open delivery

    C. Open quantity

    D. Open acceptance

    Answer: D

    Explanation: The Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) Sales Article permits the formation of a sales contract even if

    the price is left open (“open price”), the delivery terms are not specified (“open delivery”), and the

    quantity is not specified exactly (as, for example, in “requirement” or “output” contracts). However, there

    can be no contract without an “acceptance,” thus, an “open acceptance” would not result in a sales

    contract under the U.C.C.
