This year Nathan transferred $1 million to an irrevocable trust established for the benefit of his nephew. The trustee is directed to accumulate income for the next 5 years before distributing the trust corpus to Nathan's nephew. In past years Nathan has made taxable gifts of $6 million and used all unified credit. What is the amount of gift tax, if any, must Nathan remit in 2017? Ignore the annual exception amount of $15,000. A) 159,500
B) 155,800
C) 155,450
D) Zero- there is a $10 Million exemption equivalent

Zero- there is a $10 Million exemption equivalent ( d )

Explanation:

Annual exemption to be ignored = $15000

$1 million  to an irrevocable trust

taxable gifts = $6 million

A) The amount of gift tax Nathan must remit in 2017 ignoring annual exemption

The gift tax must remit in 2017 is zero because there is a $10 million exemption because of the annual exception ( even if the annual exception is ignored ) and  the lifetime benefits on taxable gifts that Nathan has is approximately $11.4 million, hence he wont be remitting any amount on gift tax in 2017

the correct answer would be b, when, queen, calder hall and london.

explanation:

we always capitalize words when a paragraph or sentence is starting, when an important name is used, when a place is being written, or simply when a noun is used, etc. so in this sentence, sentence is starting from 'when', so it will be written in capital letters. secondly, queen is considered to be an important person, so it will also be written in capital letter. next, the name of the town is mentioned, i-e calder hall, which will also be written in capital letters. in the last,   city name is being used, 'london', which will also be written in capital letters. so option b is the most appropriate one.

there was no passage listed but using the process of elimination i'd say it was d. the high economy would do the opposite. i don't see how low prices would affect it. high unemployment is possible but i feel d is the better answer.
