Ramon had AGI of $205,000 in 2020. He is considering making a charitable contribution this year to the American Heart Association, a qualified charitable organization. Determine the current allowable charitable contribution deduction in each of the following independent situations, and indicate the treatment for any amount that is not deductible currently. Identify any planning ideas to minimize Ramon's tax liability.

a. A cash gift of $102,500. In the current year, Ramon may deduct $ ---------------- since his charitable contribution is limited to $---------------------

b. A gift of OakCo stock worth $102,500 on the contribution date. Ramon had acquired the stock as an investment two years ago at a cost of $92,250.

The stock's value for determining the contribution is $---------------------. The deduction for 2020 is $ 2. The remaining --------------------- can be carried forward for fill in the blank ----------------------- 5 years.

c. A gift of a painting worth $102,500 that Ramon purchased three years ago for $92,250. The charity has indicated that it would sell the painting to generate cash to fund medical research.

The contribution is valued at $-------------------------. The amount deductible in the current year is $-----------------------

d. Ramon has decided to make a cash gift to the American Heart Association of $143,500. However, he is considering delaying his gift until next year when his AGI will increase to $300,000 and he will be in the 32% income tax bracket, an increase from his current-year income tax bracket of 24%.

Assume a 6% discount rate. The present value factors, at a 6% discount rate, are as follows:

Year	PV Factor at 6%
1	0.9434
3	0.8396
5	0.7473

If required, round your final answers to the nearest dollar.

Ramon asks you to determine the tax savings from the tax deduction in present value terms if he were to make the gift this year, rather than delay the gift until next year.

Total present value of tax savings from the tax deduction if made this year: $------------------------------- Total present value of tax savings from the tax deduction if made next year: $------------------------------
