MBAC Nomination Form-Update 2011 May(模板)

RELEVANT TO ACCA QUALIFICATION STUDENTSChanges to the ACCA Qualification in 2013Gareth Owen, ACCA qualifications manager, explains the planned updates to the ACCA Qualification syllabuses taking place in 2013 as part of the process of continuous syllabus maintenance and improvement. The article highlights the latest syllabus changes, including any minor structural changes to exams.There are a number of syllabus changes to the ACCA Qualification in 2013. These are mainly minor additions and updates, rather than major structural changes, ensuring that the qualification continues to evolve and adapt to the latest business and accounting sector needs. These latest changes are being introduced to update the syllabus content, to ensure that the ACCA Qualification continues to comply with the appropriate regulatory standards, to improve the articulation between related syllabuses and to reflect the views of our key stakeholders. The key change in 2013 is to the exam structure of the Professional Options papers. This will be described in the relevant Professional Options syllabus changes. (See detailed changes below.)In all cases, please refer to the 2013 Study Guides for full details. The summary of changes is also included at the back of each Study Guide.Terminology changesThe IASB has changed the names of the performance statements. ACCA will implement this terminology in 2013 for ACCA Study Guides and exams from Papers F4 to P7.The following table shows the changes:Old term New termIncome statement Statement of profit or lossStatement of comprehensive income Statement of profit or loss and othercomprehensive incomeAs in the previous version of IAS 1, there is still the option to present performance in either a single statement or in two statements. No other wordings in accounting standards have been changed as these generally referred to items being charged/credited to profit or loss rather than mentioning the term income statement.Please note that terminology changes will not apply to Papers F1, F2 and F3 until 2014 when terminology changes are made to all Foundation level exam papers too. All the detailed changes to the syllabuses are summarised below.FEBRUARY 2013DETAILED CHANGES OUTLINED FOR JUNE AND DECEMBER 2013Knowledge module (Papers F1–F3)The ACCA Knowledge module exams will remain with the current structure of 50 two-mark questions throughout 2013 and in January 2014 and Papers F1 to F3 will operate with the same examinable documents until January 2014. There are no syllabus changes planned for any of the three syllabuses for Paper F1, Accountant in Business, Paper F2, Management Accounting, or Paper F3, Financial Accounting, except for a minor terminology change regarding the IFAC Code of Ethics now known as the IFAC (IESBA) Code of Ethics. Exam questions will, however, still refer to the IFAC Code of Ethics. This only affects Section F of Paper F1, Accountant in Business. For clarity, the term IFAC will still be retained throughout this year.There is no change to examinable documents for these papers. As explained above, the next update to the examinable documents for these papers will be for exams in 2014.There is also a very minor clarification to a study outcome in Paper F2, Management Accounting,as follows:Section and subject area Syllabus contentB1Accounting for material, labour and overheads (c) (iv) Re-apportion service costcentre costs to production cost centres (including the use of thereciprocal method where service costcentres work for each other)Paper F4, Corporate and Business Law (ENG) and (GLOBAL)No changes.Paper F5, Performance ManagementThe changes made to Paper F5 were mainly an attempt to align more effectively the Papers F2, F5 and P5 syllabuses. There is more focus on management information in Paper P5 but these needed better underpinning support from the Paper F5 syllabus – hence the additions to syllabus area E. Additionally, the preparation of budgets was felt not to be adequately covered in Paper F2 as it focused on using one technique – hence the additions to syllabus area C. In order to balance the overall size of the syllabus, some study outcomes in syllabus areas C and D, which are felt to be adequately covered in the Paper F2 syllabus, have now been removed with effect from 2013. The effect of removing these areas means that future Paper F5 questions will not directly test these areas, but they will be examined as assumed knowledge from Paper F2.FEBRUARY 2013Additions to Paper F5The following have been added to the syllabus:Section andsubject areaSyllabus contentC3(a)Types of budgetPrepare rolling budgets and activity-based budgetsE1 Performance management information systems (a)Identify the accounting information requirementsand describe the different types of informationsystems used for strategic planning, management control and operational control and decisionmaking.(b)Define and identify the main characteristics oftransaction processing systems; managementinformation systems; executive informationsystems; and enterprise resource planningsystems.(c)Define and discuss the merits of, and potentialproblems with, open and closed systems withregard to the needs of performance management.E2 Sources of management information (a)Identify the principal internal and external sourcesof management accounting information.(b)Demonstrate how these principal sources ofmanagement information might be used forcontrol purposes.(c)Identify and discuss the direct data capture andprocess costs of management accountinginformation.(d)Identify and discuss the indirect costs ofproducing information.(e)Discuss the limitations of using externallygenerated information.Deletions from Paper F5The following have been removed explicitly from the Paper F5 syllabus and will be examined as assumed knowledge in Paper F5 from the Paper F2 syllabus: Section andsubject areaSyllabus contentC1 Objectives (a)Outline the objectives of a budgetary controlsystem.(b)Explain how corporate and divisional objectivesmay differ and can be reconciled.(c)Identify and resolve conflicting objectives andexplain implications.FEBRUARY 2013C4Quantitative analysis in budgeting (b)Explain the use of forecasting techniques,including time series, simple average growthmodels and estimates based on judgement and experience.

A new part has been added to the syllabus at Section C4(f) to explain the election for the exemption of profits from overseas branches.The following topics have been added as excluded topics, for clarity:Section andsubject areaSyllabus content (excluded topics)B1Income taxliabilities•Child benefit income tax chargeFEBRUARY 2013B3Income from self-employment •Capital allowances for motor cars already owned at6 April 2009 (1 April 2009 for companies). •Apportionment in order to determine the rate of writing down allowance or the amount of annual investmentallowance where a period spans 6 April 2012(1 April 2012 for companies).B4Property andinvestment income•Premiums for granting subleases.B6The use of exemptions and reliefs in deferring and minimising income tax liabilities •Seed enterprise investment scheme.•The tax reduction scheme for gifts of pre-eminent objects.C4The effect of a group corporate structure for corporation tax purposes •The set off of qualifying charitable donations and losses for the purposes of calculating double taxation relief.E3The liabilities arising on chargeable lifetime transfers and on the death of an individual •The reduced rate of inheritance tax payable on death when a proportion of a person’s estate is bequeathed to charity.Paper F7, Financial Reporting (INT) and (UK)There have not been any additions or deletions to the 2012 Study Guide for 2013. However, there have been minor amendments to the wording of some of the Study Guide outcomes corresponding to changes within examinable documents and to ensure greater clarity. The change in terminology relating to performance statements in IAS 1, as explained above, has been made throughout the Study Guide.Paper F8, Audit and Assurance (INT)There are no additions or deletions to Paper F8, just some amendments to clarify parts of the syllabus – all implicitly included previously:Section andsubject areaSyllabus contentC2Risk assessment(b)Auditor’s response to risk.FEBRUARY 2013E2Audit procedures(c)Procedures for obtaining audit evidence.E3The audit of specificitems(e)Intangible assets, provisions.F1Subsequent events (b)Auditors’ responsibilities regardingsubsequent events.F4Audit finalisationand the final review(b)Procedures in conducting an overall review.G1Audit reports (c)Emphasis of matter and other mattersparagraphs.Paper F8, Audit and Assurance (UK)Same amendments as for Paper F8 (INT) above and also (following the restructure of the FRC):Section and subjectareaSyllabus contentA3The regulatory environment and corporate governance (b)Relationship between ISAs and the work of theFinancial Reporting Council (rather than the APB).Paper F9, Financial ManagementThe changes made to Paper F9 are to better align the syllabuses of Papers F2,F9 and P4. Treasury management has now been introduced in Paper F9 in syllabus area B and portfolio theory is being added to Section F2. Areas of thesyllabus that are felt to be adequately covered in Paper F2 have been removedfrom Section D of Paper F9. The effect of removing these areas mean thatquestions will not directly test these areas, but they will be examined asassumed knowledge from Paper F2.Additions to Paper F9The following areas have been added to the syllabus:Section andsubject areaSyllabus contentB3The treasury function (a)Describe the role of the money markets in:i) providing short-term liquidity to industry andthe public sectorii) providing short-term trade financeiii) allowing an organisation to manage itsexposure to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk.FEBRUARY 2013(b)Explain the role of banks and other financialinstitutions in the operation of the money markets.(c)Explain the characteristics and role of theprincipal money market instruments:i) interest-bearing instrumentsii) discount instrumentsiii) derivative products.F2Estimating the cost of equity (b)Explain and discuss systematic and unsystematicrisk, and the relationship between portfolio theory and the capital asset pricing model (CAPM).Deletions from Paper F9The following have been deleted explicitly from the syllabus and will be examined as assumed knowledge from Paper F2/FMA:Section andsubject areaSyllabus contentD1The nature ofinvestment decisions and theappraisal process (a)Distinguish between capital and revenueexpenditure, and between non-current assets and working capital investment.(b)Explain the role of investment appraisal in thecapital budgeting process.(c)Discuss the stages of the capital budgetingprocess in relation to corporate strategy.D3 Discounted cash flow (DCF) techniques (a)Explain and apply concepts relating to interestand discounting, including:i) the relationship between interest rates andinflation, and between real and nominal interest ratesii) the calculation of future values and theapplication of the annuity formulaiii) the calculation of present values, including the present value of an annuity and perpetuity, andthe use of discount and annuity tablesiv) the time value of money and the role of cost of capital in appraising investmentsPaper P1, Governance, Risk and EthicsThere are a few minor changes to the Paper P1 syllabus for 2013. The first is anew outcome in A3 concerning diversity as a consideration in the composition of boards of directors. The second is an amendment to E7(a) to linkenvironmental reporting to social and environmental ‘footprints’. The finalchange is an addition to the Study Guide under E7 relating to the typicalcontents of a social and environmental report. From 2013 the IFAC Code ofEthics will be referred to as the IESBA Code of Ethics. This change of terminology also affects Paper P7 (please see below).FEBRUARY 2013These changes are summarised in the following table.Syllabus contentSection andsubject areaA3 – New i)Explain the meaning of 'diversity' and critically evaluateissues of diversity on boards of directors.E7 – Amended (a)Describe and assess the social and environmental effectsthat economic activity can have (in terms of social andenvironmental ‘footprints’ and environmental reporting).E7 – New (d)Explain and assess the typical contents of a social andenvironmental report, and discuss the usefulness of thisinformation to stakeholders.Paper P2, Corporate Reporting (INT) and (UK)There have not been any additions or deletions to the 2013 Study Guides foreither of the above syllabuses.

The change in terminology relating to performance statements in IAS 1, as explained above, has been madethroughout the Study Guide.Paper P3, Business AnalysisSince 2011, Paper P3 has had more management accounting/performance management areas added to it to increase the scope for the examiner toassess performance issues within business analytical contexts. These changes have been phased in, and the only change for 2013 is that a new outcome inG3 has been added to allow the examination of cost and managementaccounting concepts, which are relevant to strategy development and implementation.The additions are as follows:Section andSyllabus contentsubject areaG3 (e)Evaluate the role and limitations of cost accounting instrategy development and implementation, specificallyrelating to:i) direct and indirect costs in multi-product contextsii) overhead apportionment in full costingiii) activity-based costing in planning and control.FEBRUARY 2013Paper P4, Advanced Financial ManagementThe main change to Paper P4 has been to the structure of the exam.The new structure of the exam is as follows:Section A: One compulsory question:Question 1: 50 marks (including four professional marks)Section B: Choice of two from three questions:All three questions: 25 marksTotal: 100 marksA new pilot paper has been produced to reflect the new format.Changes to the syllabus include an addition to Section G on Islamic finance,the re-grouping of topics to help with the logical flow and a new sub-sectionadded into syllabus area C.

ACCA approved publishers are aware of this and this has been reflected in their materials.Papers F6 and P6 examinable documents will be updated for 2014 as normal in line with tax legislation.It would normally be the case that the Papers F1–F3 exams in 2013 would be based on regulation and legislation issued/passed on or before 30 September 2012. ACCA made an exception when these papers were relaunched in December 2011 and extended the period for the examinable documents with a cut-off date of 30 September 2010 (including the version of the Framework prior to the changes to two chapters in September 2010) being effective for exams right through to the end of exam year 2012. This has now been extended to cover exam year 2013 too. As such, the new IAS 1 terminology will be examined from 2014 in these three exams.。

TPS, such as payroll or order processing, track the flow of the daily routine transactions that are necessary to conduct business. They are used by operational managers to manage day-to-day operations. MIS summarize and report on the c ompany’s basic operations using data supplied by TPS. They provide middle managers with reports on the organization’s current performance and are not highly analytical. DSS also support middle management decisions when these decisions are unique, rapidly changing, and not specified easily in advance. They use advanced analytical models and data analysis capabilities and often draw on information from external as well as internal sources. ESS support senior management by providing data of greatest importance to senior management decision makers. ESS provide a generalized computing and communications capacity that can be applied to a changing array of problems. ESS present graphs and data from many sources through an interface that is easy for senior managers to use, often a portal.Diff: 1 Page Ref: 47-51AACSB: Reflective ThinkingCASE: Synthesis in terms of generalize81) In your opinion, what are at least three factors that contribute to the difficulty of integrating systems for different organizational levels and functions within an organization? Support your answer.Answer: An example answer is: Three factors that can contribute include different computing environments; different data kept; and employee resistance. Different computing environments can make it difficult in terms of programming to connect the systems together. If the systems have kept different types of data and different records, this may also be a hindrance. For example, if some elements in a database are recorded differently, such as a customer ID not being the same in one area as another, this would make consistency a problem and may contribute to redundant information. There may also be resistance to adopting new, integrative systems that are more efficient because these may change business processes and the functions of employees. People working in an organization may not want to lose the responsibilities they have and the functions they understand.Diff: 3 Page Ref: 53AACSB: Analytic SkillsCASE: Evaluation in terms of assess, compare82) Discuss at least three reasons why collaboration and teamwork are more important today than ever.Answer: Collaboration and teamwork are more important today than ever for a variety of reasons. For one, the nature of work has changed from factory manufacturing andpre-computer office work. Today, the kinds of jobs we have require much closer coordination and interaction among the parties involved in producing the service or product. Another reason is that the organization of work has changed. For most of the industrial age, work was organized in a hierarchical fashion. Orders came down the hierarchy, and responses moved back up the hierarchy. Today, work is organized into groups and teams, who are expected to develop their own methods for accomplishing the task. Senior managers observe and measure results, but are much less likely to issue detailed orders or operating procedures. Another reason is the need to manage work from global locations: The work of the firm has changed from a single location to multiple locations - offices throughout a region, a nation, or even around the globe. Global competition also places a premium on innovation. Innovation is a group and social process, and most innovations derive from collaboration among individuals in a lab, a business, or government agencies. Strong collaborative practices and technologies are believed to increase the rate and quality of innovation. Overall, most research on collaboration supports the notion that diverse teams produce better outputs, faster, than individuals working on their own.Diff: 2 Page Ref: 57-58AACSB: Analytic SkillsCASE: Synthesis in terms of propose83) Identify and describe at least four business benefits of collaboration? Which do you feel is the most important and why?Answer: Business benefits from collaboration are (1) productivity; (2) quality; (3) innovation;(4) customer service; and (5) financial performance. Collaboration helps productivity because people working together on a task can complete the task more quickly. It helps quality because people working together will be more able to correct each other's mistakes. It helps innovation because people working in groups come up with more ideas than those working in isolation. It helps customer service because teams can solve customer complaints more quickly together rather than working in isolation. And as a result of all of these benefits, collaboration helps finance, because collaborative firms have superior sales, sales growth, and financial performance. Student evaluations will vary: for example, the most important of the benefits might be: innovation, because new products, services, and means of production are at the heart of being able to outperform your competitors.Diff: 2 Page Ref: 58-59AACSB: Analytic SkillsCASE: Evaluation in terms of compare, assess。

First of all, we usegrey model to predict the future output of the toll plaza, and compared with the realdata, the average value of the residual value is 0.429. Then we can draw a conclusionthat the throughput performance of the toll plaza is secondary. Next, we use queuingtheory to get the service index of the toll plaza in the light and heavy traffic, and thecellular automaton model is used to consider the changing circumstances of servicelevel, uses regression model to establish a function relation between traffic accidentand four factors. Then, we find that the rate of change has the greatest influence onit and the pavement performance has the least influence . In terms of cost, weconsider the toll plaza land and road construction. And the cost of road constructionis divided into the labor cost and material cost.Next, according to the influence of road geometry on the traffic performance of Toll Plaza, we select the transition curve trajectory model to improve the toll plazatransition, which can also have an improvement on the size and shape of the toll plazaand merge mode.Finally, we do a series of performance studies for our improved toll plaza. First of all, the improvement in the square flow and car flow under the condition of servicelevel are determined respectively through simulation .Next, we draw a conclusion thatthe service performance of the toll plaza is not obvious in small car flow, but there is amarked increase in large flow. Then, due to the fact that the unmanned vehicle coulddeal with a variety of road conditions, it undoubtedly expands our improved optionalscheme. Eventually, we obtain the throughput of toll before and after the improvementunder the different proportion of mixed charge mode and find that the improvedthroughput in the toll plaza has been increased on the performance.contents1 Introduction: (1)1.1 Problem background: (1)1.2 Steps: (1)1.3 Our work: (1)2 Assumptions (2)3 Nomenclature (2)4 Throughput analysis of grey forecasting model (3)5 error analysis (4)6 Service level of toll station (5)7 Vehicle lane changing rules based on Cellular Automata (6)8 Security analysis based on multivariate statistical regression mode (8)8.1 Study on the rate of change of Toll Plaza (8)8.2 Study on the longitudinal slope of entrance section of Toll Plaza (9)8.3 Research on service level of toll station (10)8.4 Study on pavement performance of toll station (10)9 Safety performance evaluation model of toll station (11)10 Cost analysis model of toll station (11)11 Analysis of the influence of lane geometry parameters on its capacity (12)11.1 Determination of lane changing rate (12)11.2 Influence of geometric parameters on the flow of the car lane (14)11.3 Energy consumption analysis based on cellular automata model (15)Definition of energy consumption: (16)Numerical simulation and analysis of the results: (17)Influence of curvature radius on energy consumption (17)Influence of arc length on energy consumption (18)12 The effect of traffic flow on service performance based on improved queuing theory 1913 The influence of unmanned vehicles on the improved model of Toll Plaza .. 2114 The influence of charging method on improving model of Toll Plaza (21)15 Strengths and Weaknesses (22)15.1 Strengths: (22)15.2 Weaknesses: (22)15.3 Future Model Development: (22)Comprehensive improvement strategy of tollplaza1Introduction:1.1Problem background:Highway toll and toll plaza is to ensure traffic safety and unimpeded, however because of lack of unified design specification, toll station and its square construction exists many problems. Such as: low value because of the technical indicators to make square construction scale too small and cause the toll plaza opened only few years as the traffic bottleneck, and use the high value on the one hand, because of the technical indicators and make the toll station construction scale is too large, waste a lot of money and resources. Due to incorrect linear indicators, or too short, the gradual square square length is insufficient, square road centerline offset, etc., it is too difficult to use after the completion of the square.so establishing the toll gates and the toll plaza design norms, as soon as possible, has the very vital significance in standardizing the construction of the toll station, ensuring the smooth general characteristic of toll plaza and traffic safety, improving the charging efficiency and management level, reducing the land acquisition and controlling investment and so on .1.2Steps:·A performance analysis of any particular toll plaza design that may already be implemented through the following three factors: accident prevention, throughput and cost .·Determine if there are better solutions (shape, size, and merging pattern) than any in common use.·Consider the performance of your solution in light and heavy traffic.·Consider the situation where more autonomous (self-driving) vehicles are added and how the solution is affected by the proportions of conventional (human-staffed) tollbooths, exact-change (automated) tollbooths, and electronic toll collection booths (such as electronic toll collection via a transponder in the vehicle)1.3Our work:·Based on the available data ,we make a performance analysis of any particulartoll plaza design that may already be implemented .·According to the problem from the performance analysis ,we make out a better solutions (shape, size, and merging pattern) than any in common use.·Determine the performance of the solution in light and heavy traffic ,how the solution change as more autonomous (self-driving) vehicles are added to the traffic mix and how the solution is affected by the proportions of conventional (human-staffed) tollbooths, exact-change (automated) tollbooths, and electronic toll collection booths.2AssumptionsTo simplify the problem and make it convenient for us to simulate real-life conditions, we make the following basic assumptions.1. Each section of roads is one-way traffic2.Vehicles in the retention period of toll station can be neglected3.In any hour of the vehicle arrival rate is proportional to the length of time4.The probability of any vehicle arrival in one hour of time is not affected by the previous history .5.

Due to the problem of uncertainty, so we take the grey prediction model to deal with it.Suppose x (0)(1),x (0)(2)…,x (0)(M )In order to overcome the irregular , we use accumulation processx (1)(t )=∑x (0)(i)M i<1 Such a relatively smooth new series approximation can be described by the following differential equation:dx (1)dt +ax (1)=μ Its an albino form discrete solution of differential equation is: x ̂(1)(i +1)=.x (1)−u a /e ;ai +u aThe type of the parameter a、u be determined by the least squares fitting method is as follows:（1）（2）（3）A ̂=0a u 1=(B T B);1B T Y N Among them the matrix is:B =[ −12,x (1)(1)+x (1)(2)-1−12,x (1)(2)+x (1)(3)-1⋯⋯−12,x (1)(m −1)+x (1)(m )-1] Y N =(x (0)(2),x (0)(3),⋯,x (0)(m ))TSo the original data fitting sequence is:x ̂(0)(1)=x (0)(1)x ̂(0)(i +1)=x (1)(i +1)−x (1)(i )Table 4-0-1 Traffic flow prediction table5 error analysisIn equation (11), and regulations, the original data of reducing value and its residual error and relative error between observed value is as follows{ε(0)(t )=x (0)(t )−x′(0)(t )q (t )=ε(0)(t )x (0)(t )×100%The following inspection of the accuracy: x(0)=1M ∑x (0)(t )M t<0 ε(0)=1M;1∑(ε(0)(t )−ε0M t<2)2Second, calculate the variance ratio c =s 2s 1and small error probability P =2|ε(0)(t )−ε(0)|<0.6745s 13（4）（5）（6） （7） （8） （9） （10） （11）Figure 5-0-2comparison chart of grey prediction modelWe use m、p、v max to represent quality of the vehicle, random delayprobability and maximum speed respectively, g represents the local acceleration of gravity, r represents curvature of the bend radius and u represents the static friction coefficient . With the road statistical analysis carried out on the real value and the error of predicted value, we obtain the following res ults:It shows that the GM(1,1)model prediction results have a better response to .reflect the actual situation.6 Service level of toll stationThe direct feeling of the driver to the traffic environment of the toll station is from the queue length of the toll lane, and the length of the queue depends on the service level of the toll station V/C. In this regard, we use the queuing theory model of multichannel Queuing service, in which the vehicle arrival time is in a Poisson distribution, which is the negative exponential distribution; Suppose m is random arrival rate ,c i is output rate,k is the number of serving driveway, ρ=m c .There is the probability of having no vehicle in the queuing theoryρ(0)=1,∑1n!k−1n=0p n :1k!ρk k k−ρ- Average number of vehicles in queueing theory:n =ρ+p n ρ(0)k!k n−k (1;ρk )2 （12）（13）queue length: q =n −ρ=p n ρ(0)k!k n−k (1;ρk )2 Average number of waiting vehicles per lanea =q kAverage waiting time in queue systems:d =n m =q m +1c Average waiting time in queue:W =q mMean tardinessDeceleration time of vehicle entering toll stationt 1=v 03.6a 1Mean time to stay at a toll stationw =E ,S -+W qVehicle acceleration time of leaving toll stationt 2=v 03.6a 2 In this equation, v 0 is the normal traffic flow (km/h); a 1 、a 2 are deceleration of the vehicle (m/s 2); W q is average queue time (s)； E ,S - is expected service time (s);7 Vehicle lane changing rules based on CellularAutomataWe apply the previous cellular automata model, which is now extended to multi Lane case. The main difference between multi lane and single lane is to consider the model of lane changing. In this paper, we take 4 lanes as an example.In reality, it may be possible to change lanes when the driver is found to be close to the exit and the front of the adjacent lane is empty. If you want to change lanes ,you should consider the vehicle behind the adjacent lane. When the distance （14）（15） （16） （17） （18） （19） （20）to the rear of the adjacent lane reaches to a certain length, you can change the road. Lane change scenarios can be shown in figure (), when the c car on the 1 Lane is blocked by the c 1 car, while the c 2 and c 3 cars on the 2 lanes are relatively large. in order to maintain the speed, c car will change to the road lane 2.Figure 7-0-3Schematic diagram of lane changingWhether or not the driver chooses the lane change is mainly decided by the d 0,d n,otℎer 、d n ,back three indicators, through the previous research, this paper thinks that the lane changing rule is:When d n,back >v maxC n ={1−C n d n <min{v n +1，v max } d n,otℎer >d n ,d n,back >v max c n Otℎer circumstancesWhen d n,back ≤v max ,C n ={1−C n d n <min{v n +1，v max } d n,otℎer >d nv max −θ(−∆x )α>1+min{d n,otℎer +1,v max }−min *V n +1，v max +c n Otℎer circumstancesAmong them, C n is the n car in the lane , C n =0 or 1,d n 、d n,otℎer andd n,back are the distance between the first n vehicle and the front vehicle, the distance from the adjacent lane and the distance from the vehicle in the adjacent lane, respectively. d safe is safety lane change model.d n,back −v max , ∆x <0, v max −θ(−∆x )α is the distance between the vehicle and the vehicle in the adjacent lane after correction by the value function, 1+min{d n,otℎer +1,v max }−min *V n +1，v max + is Limit Lane distance. The parameters α and θchange according to the psychological status of driver. If α>1, the greater α is, the more careful the driver is. If θ>1, the greater θis, the more careful the driver is. When α=1，θ=1,that ’s Lane changing model.（21） （22）In order to discuss the αandθ, we use Cellular automata simulation. In a two lane road with a length of7.5km, adopting the open boundary condition, each lane is composed of 1000cells with a length of7.5km, the maximum speed of vehicle v max=5. The random slowing down rate was 0.2.8Security analysis based on multivariate statistical regression modeAimed at the prevention of the accident, we use multiple linear regression to establish a function between the number of traffic accidents and the following four factors: toll square gradient, service level, Toll plaza entrance section of the longitudinal slope, the Pavement performance of Toll station .Figure 8-1Cause analysis of accident8.1Study on the rate of change of Toll PlazaFan in and fan out area of toll plaza are designed to make the gradual vehicles more natural smoothly in and out of the toll plaza. In order to drive vehicle easily , there has a requirement on its gentle gradient change. Otherwise the driver could produce driving deviation, which may cause improper operation and endangers safety.The relationship is as follow:（23）l=b,LAccording to the experience, the vehicles with straight into another lane deviation than at around 0.9m s⁄, drivers usually have no move feeling and uncomfortable feeling.Figure 8-1 The relationship between Accident number and Toll plaza ramp rateFigure 8-1 shows the relation curve between highway toll plaza ramp rate and traffic accident, the figure demonstrates that as the toll plaza ramp rate increases, the traffic accidents will increase, whereas the security of the toll plaza will decrease.Through the data regression analysis, we get the related models between toll plaza ramp rate and the number of traffic accidentsY =1.423e .0064xIn this equation, Y is the forecasted numbers of traffic accident corresponding to the toll plaza ramp rate , x is the toll plaza ramp rate of toll plaza.The correlation coefficient in the model R 2=0.8621, it shows that description model of correlation is higher, From the model ,we can learn that the occurrence of traffic accident frequency is proportional to the toll plaza ramp rate. Gradient length is insufficient, so it can't meet to slow down and change lanes entering the toll plaza vehicle safety requirements, resulting in the occurrence of traffic accidents .8.2 Study on the longitudinal slope of entrance section ofToll PlazaHighway toll entrance section of the longitudinal slope design without fully considering the characteristics of vehicles entering the toll plaza, a long downhill or turn downhill and so on bad road alignment, those will affect the normal operation of the pilot and make the vehicles entering the toll plaza slowdown not sufficient, longitudinal safe driving distance not enough and driving direction can't adjust to the charge lane ,which will causetraffic accidents. This will lead to serious losses. （24）Figure 8-0-4 entrance section of the longitudinal slope and accident numberThrough regression analysis, we get the relevant model between the toll plaza entrance section of longitudinal wave and traffic accidentsY =2.6254e 0.638xIn this equation, Y is the forecasted numbers of traffic accident corresponding to the toll plaza ramp rate , x is the longitudinal wave of t oll plaza’s entry section .The correlation coefficient in the model R 2=0.9219,it shows the correlation of this model is relatively high. But we can learn that toll station ‘s traffic accident and its entrance section of longitudinal wave have a positive correlation from figure model representation ,.The greater the slope, the lower charge war security.8.3 Research on service level of toll stationBased on the previous research of service performance of toll station, we take V C as the measure of service level and Cite previous results. 8.4 Study on pavement performance of toll stationAccording to the vehicle dynamics, the vehicle's braking distance can be expressed as follows:d =u 257.9(f:I) In this equation, d is automotive braking distance , u is the speed at the beginning of the automobile brake, f is the tire and road surface friction coefficient, Iis road longitudinal slope（25）9 Safety performance evaluation model of toll stationBased on the above analysis, the evaluation model of descriptive can be written as the equation form, using multiple linear regression model .Y is the number of traffic accidents in toll stations every year , x 1=1l ,x 2=V C ,x 3=i,则Y =β0+β1x 1+β2x 2+β3x 3N is sample size , Y i (i =1,2,…,N ) represent the Y value of sample i , x i 1,x i 2,…x i n (i =1,2…，N) represent the value of each variable insample I, respectively.令Y =[Y 1Y 2⋮Y n], X =[11⋮1x 11x 21⋮x n 1⋯⋯⋮⋯x 1n x 2n ⋮x n n ] β=[β0β1⋮βn ] Y =Xβ,making maximum likelihood estimate of each variable coefficient β1，β2，…βn , it can get a normal equations:X T Xβ=X T YSo you can get the following regression equationY =−4.4012−9.947511l +10.098V C +11.25i 10 Cost analysis model of toll stationWe selected the American New Jersey a toll plaza to make cost analysisFirstly, according to relevant data, we learn that New Jersey’s average price is （26） （27）（28）（29）（30）$3500 per mu,And the toll plaza which we analyzed occupies about 5 mu, therefore, the land price of the toll plaza is about $17500;Second, the road construction costs include labor and material cost, and the local construction industry ’s average monthly salary is $3000, we use it to calculate labor, this occupies the largest in the road construction costs; As for material cost, we calculate by the current prices in the United States, is about $40 per cubic meter, then according to the size of the toll plaza, it will cost about $45000.In conclusion, the cost of toll plaza spend mainly on the labor cost of highway construction, the material cost also accordingly account for part of it.11Analysis of the influence of lane geometry parameters on its capacity11.1Determination of lane changing rateAccording to the analysis of vehicle trajectory and running state of vehicle , vehicle trajectory in the middle of the gradual path is similar to vehicle lane changing trajectory, and considering the factors when the driver turns, we select the easement curve trajectory model to design the gradual change section of toll plaza. And in the middle of the two convex type curve , we join a long for L straight section , it is shown in the figure belowFigure 11-0-5Toll plaza improvementsAccording to characteristics of convex curve geometric elements, we can use the following formula to calculate the first period of convex curve of easement curve tangent length T1:T1=(R1+p1)tanα1+q1（31）2In this equation, R 1 is the radius of the first section of convex curve points , ρ1 is Within shift, q 1 is tangent increment, α1 is curve angle, and α1=2β1, β1 is easement curve angleSuppose the first and second convex curve gradient width are ∆W 1 and ∆W 2 respectively, the width of one side with the gradient is ∆W .Depending on the figure with the easement curve in orbit, there are: ∆W 1=T 1∙sin α1∆W 2=T 2∙sin α2∆W =∆W 1+∆W 2+Lsinα1∆W =0(R 1+p 1)(1−cos L S1R 1 )+q 11∙sin L S1R 1 +0(R 2+p 2)(1−cos L S2R 2)+q 21∙sin Ls2R 2 +Lsinα1 L S1 and L S2 are the length of easement curve of two convex curve respectivelyL is radial tangent of two convex curve, so α1=α2,then it Can be introduced as follows:L S1R 1 =L S2R 2 Associate (38) and (39),we can get the length of easement curve of two - Section convex curve L S1 and L S2, then the transition section longitudinal distance L y can use the following formula to calculate:L y =[(R 1+p 1)tan L S12R 1 +q 1+(R 2+p 2)tan L S22R 2 +q 2](1+cos L S1R 1 )+Lcosα1 Suppose the ramp rate of transition period is K ,then we can adopt the following equation:K =∆WL y From this equation , we can learn that the driving radius and the straight line segment L have a great influence on the length and the gradient of the gradient. The greater the radius, the longer the straight line, the longer the length of the gradient, the smaller the rate of change（32） （33） （34） （35） （36）（37）（38）11.2 I nfluence of geometric parameters on the flow of thecar laneAssuming C 0 and C 1=dC dl represent respectively bend and itsgradient , l represents the length of the curve itself , we can get C (l )=C 0+C 1lso ，the bend of the direction Angle isφ(l )=φ0+∫C(τ)l 0dτ=φ0+C 0l +12C 1l 2 The bend of the longitudinal distance x(l) and transverse distance y(l) are{x (l )=x 0+∫cosφ(τ)dτl 0y (l )=y 0+∫sinφ(τ)dτl 0 Assuming sinφ≈φ,cosφ≈1,and when x 0(l )=0,x (l )=l , then the bend of transverse distance y(x) and direction angle φ(x) can be expressed{φ(x )=φ0+C 0x +12C 1x 2y (x )=y 0+φl +12C 0x 2+16C 1l 3 Using the ideas of analytical mechanics, assuming that the longitudinal velocity along the x axis for x ′, along the y axis transverse speed for y ′ , along the z axis of horizontal pendulum angular velocity as the bits of ψ′, then from The Lagrange's equations we can get{ d dt .ðE T ðẋ/−ψðE T ðẏ=F Q 1d dt .ðE T ðẏ/+ψðE T ðẋ=F Q 2d dt .ðE T ðψ/+ẋ ðE T ðẏ−y ðE T ðẋ=F Q 3 Defining the system kinetic energy E T =12m (ẋ+ẏ)+12I z ψ2In the formula, m,I z respectively represent Vehicle quality and Rotary inertia take the derivative of (46),we can get{ d dt .ðE T ðẋ/−ψðE T ðẏ=d dt(mẋ)−ψ (mẏ)d dt .ðE T ðẏ/+ψðE T ðẋ=d dt (mẏ)−ψ (mẋ)d dt .ðE T ðψ/+ẋ ðE T ðẏ−y ðE T ðẋ=d dt (I z ψ)−x (mẏ)−y (mẋ) （39）（40）（41）（42）（43）Delimiting generalized force: {F Q 1=∑F xF Q 2=∑F y F Q 3=∑M zIn summary we can get the Vehicle longitudinal coupling model.We mainly consider the lateral situation∑F y =F yr +F xf +F xf cosδ If the vehicle driving in the bend is only disturbed by small disturbance near the equilibrium state, the front wheel angle is small enough , so cosδ≈1,sinδ≈δ ∑F y =−(C f +C r )y ẋ−(aC f −bC f )ψẋ+(F xf +C f )δ We put the formula () and formula () into ()y =−d 2ẏẋ−.ẋ+kd 3ẋ/ψ−(F xf :C f m )δ In the formula d 2=C f :C r m ,d 3=aC f ;bC rI z ,k =I z mThen, the resultant force ∑M z along the vertical direction is∑M z =aF xf sinδ+aF xf cosδ−bF yrWhen sinφ≈φ,cosφ≈1,then∑F y =−(a 2C f +b 2C r )ψẋ−(aC f −bC f )ẏẋ+a(F xf +C f )δψ=−d 4ψẋ−−d 3y ẋ+a I z (F xf :C f m )δ In the formula, d 4=(a 2C f :b 2C r )I z 11.3 E nergy consumption analysis based on cellularautomata modelConsidering the influence of different shapes on traffic performance is mainly reflected in the curve, we mainly study the influence of the curve on the whole problem. On the road segment, Lane set of sections containing only one plane curve, the curve is provided with the deceleration section of L , the road will be regarded as the length of the L 1D discrete lattice chain, each lattice point at each moment or is empty or occupied for a car.m 、p and v max represent the quality of the vehicle, the （44） （45）（46）（47） （48） （49） （50）（51）stochastic delay probability and maximum speed ,respectively, g is the local acceleration of gravity, r and u represent the static friction coefficient of curvature radius and static coefficient of friction between wheel and road, respectively. The vertical direction of the vehicle is subjected to a pair of balance forces, and the influence of tangential friction on the vehicle is mainly reflected in the change of the speed, Therefore , the centripetal force required for the safety of the vehicle is provided by the normal static friction force,v safe is maximum speed of safetyturning, then mv safe2r =μmg,⁄v safe =√μgr .In each step of t →t +1 , all vehicles are in accordance with the following rules of the evolution of the speed and location of the synchronization update :Determine the vehicle delay probability p ：When the vehicle is in the buffer section , if v >v safe,take the probability of delay p =p 1 (larger), in other cases, take p =p 2 (smaller),Acceleration process: v n (t)→min (v n (t )+1,v max );deterministic deceleration process: v n (t)→min (v n (t ),gap n (t))Stochastic deceleration process with probability p ：v n (t)→max (v n (t )−1,0) deceleration process ：When the vehicle is in the corner of the road, and the speed v (t )>v safe , in order to turn the corner ，it must be slowed down :v n (t)→min (v n (t ),v safe )location update process: x n (t )→x n (t )+v n (t)Among them, v n (t) and x n (t ) are the speed and position of the first n vehicle at time t respectively , x n:1(t ) is the position of the first n +1 vehicle at time t . gap n (t )=x n:1(t )−x n (t )−1is the spacing between the first n car and the foregoing vehicle which is close to it.Definition of energy consumptionSuppose the mass of vehicle is m , when it slows down, its kinetic energy is reduced, we define the kinetic energy reduction for energy consumption, e(n,t) represents that energy consumption of the first n vehicles from time t to t+1 .e (n,t )={m,v 2(n,,t );v 2(n,,t:1)-2v (n,t )>v (n,t +1);0,v (n,t )≤v (n,t +1)The average energy consumption per vehicle per unit time:E d =1T 1N ∑∑e(n,t) N n<1t0:T;1t<t0 N is the total number of vehicles on the driveway, t 0 is relaxation time. For（52） （53）the energy consumption of the vehicle, if it is because the speed of t moment is greater than the Vehicle-to-vehicle distance v(n,t)>gap n(t), the vehicle decelerates, thatis defined as the interaction energy, denoted by E di; If it is because of the random deceleration caused, defined as the random deceleration energy consumption, denotedby E dr;if it is because the car speed In the corner v(n,t)>v safe, there is deceleration for the sake of driving safely, defined as safe energy consumption, denoted by E ds.Then total energy consumption is:E d=E di+E dr+E ds（54）Numerical simulation and analysis of the resultsTo simplify the problem, assuming that the length of actual road is 7.5km, Divided into 1000lattices, equivalent to the actual length of each grid correspondsto 7.5m, Delay probability p1=0.8,p2=0.25,Quality unit is defined 1. Entering probability changes from 0~1.0.The state of each vehicle is represented by its own speed v, v∈,0,v max-We let v max=5cell he actual speed is135km/h.We take8×104time steps every run .Influence of curvature radius on energy consumptionThe arc length s, the friction coefficient μand the radius of curvature of r are carried out numerical simulation. parameters are as follows: s=30m,μ=0.5,r=10、50、100、200、300m.According to v max=5cell/s,the maximum speed of the vehicle v max=37.5m/s. Results show that when r=300m, the safetyspeed v safe=√μgr=38.73m/s,v safe>v max, the bottleneck of the curve disappears and the speed limit is lost. The change of the probability in_p of therandom energy consumption（E di、E dr、E ds、E d）is shown in the figure.。

of extensions to package ergm to fit and simulate from exponential-family random graph models for networks whose edge weights are counts.For a list of functions type help(package='ergm')and help(package='ergm.count')DetailsMainly,it implements Poisson,binomial,geometric,and discrete uniform dyadwise reference mea-sures for valued ERGMs(documented here in ergmReference),and provides some count-specific change statistics(documented in ergmTerm).For a complete list of the functions,use library(help="ergm")and library(help="ergm.count") or read the rest of the manual.When publishing results obtained using this package,please cite the original authors as described in citation(package="ergm.count").All programs derived from this package must cite it.This package contains functions specific to using ergm to model networks whose dyad values are counts.Examples include counts of conversations,messages,and other interactions.In particular,this package implements the Poisson,geometric,binomial,and discrete uniform refer-ence measures(documented in ergmReference for use by ergm and simulate.ergm)to fit models from this family,as well as statistics specific to modeling counts,such as the CMP for the Conway-Maxwell-Poisson Distribution.For detailed information on how to download and install the software,go to the Statnet project website:https://.A tutorial,support newsgroup,references and links to further resources are provided there.Known issuesParameter space constraints:Poisson-and geometric-reference ERGMs have an unbouded sample space.This means that the parameter space may be constrained in complex ways that depend on the terms used in the model.At this time ergm has no way to detect when a parameter configuration had strayed outside of the parameter space,but it may be noticeable on a runtime trace plot(activated viaBinomial-ergmReference 3MCMC.runtime.traceplot control parameter),when the simulated values keep climbing up-wards.(See Krivitsky (2012)for a further discussion.)A possible remedy if this appears to occur is to try lowering the control parameter MCMLE.steplength .Author(s)Pavel N.Krivitsky

than the current value and conditional on not proposing the current value).•"0inflated":As"random"but,with probability p0,propose a jump to0instead of a Poisson jump(if not already at0).If p0is not

Our members provide services to individuals, not-for-profit organizations, small and medium-sized businesses, as well as America’s largest businesses.Period of LimitationsOur members are concerned about the lack of finality with regard to the basis of assets determined under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section 1022.Notice 2011-66, Guidance I. B. Method to Allocate Basis provides that the recipient’s basis in a particular property (including the amount of basis increase allocated to that property) is subject to adjustment upon the examination by the IRS of any tax return reporting a value dependent upon the property’s basis. Such returns may be filed many years in the future. In the meantime, there is noT: 202.737-6600 | F: 202.638.4512 | certainty for the taxpayers. Assuming there is no fraud or willful attempt to evade tax, the AICPA suggests that the period of limitations on assessment should expire three years after the date Form 8939, Allocation of Increase in Basis for Property Acquired From a Decedent, is filed. A standard period should apply for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to challenge the decedent’s basis in the property, the fair market value of the property at the date of the decedent’s death, and the basis increase allocated to the property by the executor. Taxpayers facing the burden of proof on their basis amounts may find that proper documentation can disappear or become difficult to obtain after many years. Since the executor has all the documentation and made the allocation of the basis increase, once the exec utor’s duties are over and he or she is dismissed, the beneficiaries will be forced to deal with the IRS and justify the executor’s actions. This is not ideal, so the sooner IRS resolves basis issues, the better. It would serve the interests of the IRS and taxpayers to have these issues resolved while the documentation is readily available.We recognize that we will need to address the issue of a statute of limitations with Congress. However, a change in law may take several years. In the meantime, we request a policy of restraint with regards to challenging basis amounts determined under section 1022 after three years.Section 743 AdjustmentsThe AICPA requests guidance on whether the basis adjustment under section 743 is available upon the death of a partner if the estate of the partner elects out of the estate tax and applies the carryover basis rules to the assets of the estate. Section 743(b) provides that in the case of a transfer of an interest in a partnership by sale or exchange or upon the death of a partner, the partnership with respect to which the section 754 election is in effect or which has a substantial built-in loss immediately after such transfer shall perform the basis increase or decrease described in section 743(b)(1) or (2). We understand that the Service could maintain that the transfer of a partnership interest at death is a transfer “by gift” under section 1022 and, therefore, disallow any adjustment to the inside basis pursuant to a section 754 election. However, we believe it is equally reasonable to conclude that the section 743 adjustment would override section 1022 and allow an inside adjustment to the basis of partnership assets because the interest was transferred “on the death of a partner.”If it is determined that a section 743 basis adjustment is available, partnerships will need a reasonable amount of time to make an informed decision with regard to the 754 election. We request an automatic extension of 12 months from the extended due date of the partnership return for the partnership taxable year in which a partner died to revoke a section 754 election made for calendar year 2010. Treas. Reg. § 301.9100-2(a)(2)(iv) already grants partnerships an automatic extension of time to make a late section 754 election until 12 months after the extended due date of the partnership taxable year in which a partner died.Liabilities in Excess of BasisSection 1022(g) provides that in determining whether gain is recognized by the decedent, the estate, or a beneficiary on the acquisition of carryover basis property from a decedent, liabilities in excess of basisare disregarded.1This does not apply, however, when encumbered property is transferred to a tax-exempt entity. The possibility for gain recognition also exists upon the transfer of property when the basis is determined under section 1014 if the fair market value of property is less than the debt against it. It is unclear, however, whether section 1022(g) would also protect heirs from gain recognition when they inherit property from decedents who used the tax basis in their interest, calculated including their share of partnership debts, to deduct losses.Despite a negative capital account, the partner still has a positive tax basis in the partner’s partnership interest.2If the partner were to gift the partner’s partnership interest in this situation during their lifetime, the partner would recognize a gain equal to the partner’s relief from liabilities in excess of the partner’s basis.3 Presumably the same result would apply to a transfer at death, unless section 1022(g) disregards partnership liabilities in excess of basis at death. If partnership liabilities are disregarded in the transfer, presumably the beneficiary takes a carryover basis in the partnership interest and potentially the gain will be recognized on a future sale of the partnership interest.We hope that the IRS will interpret the term “liabilities” broadly and include partnership liabilities under section 1022(g) to prevent gain recognition w here the decedent’s share of partnership liabilities exceed the partner’s basis in interest at death. However, since Revenue Procedure 2011-41 did not address this matter, clarity is needed.Relief ProvisionsUnder Notice 2011-66 Guidance I. C. Reporting Requirements, the executor is required to provide each recipient acquiring property reported on Form 8939 with a statement setting forth the information required under section 6018(c). This statement must be provided to each recipient within 30 days after the Form 8939 is timely filed. It is likely that the identity of the recipients of particular items of property will not be known 30 days after the current November 15, 2011, due date for Form 8939. There needs to be a way for the executor to provide the statement (or a revised statement) to the recipient once the executor determines what property each recipient will receive. Therefore, the AICPA suggests that the basis statement be given to the beneficiaries 30 days after the later of the date that the Form 8939 is filed or the date the assets are distributed to the beneficiary.Section 1022 ElectionWe appreciate the guidance on how the IRS will respond upon receipt of a Form 8939 and a Form 706 (or Form 706-NA). Under Notice 2011-66, Section I, Subsection A Section 1022 Election, the IRS will issue a letter to each person who filed such a form and each of those persons must collectively sign and file either a restated Form 706 or Form 8939 on or before 90 days from the date the IRS mails such letters.1 IRC section 1022(g).2 IRC section 705(b); Treas. Reg. § 1.705-1(b).3 Rev. Rul. 77-402, 1977-2 C.B. 222; Madorin v. Comm’r, 84T.C. 667 (1985).Under the circumstance described above, the AICPA suggests increasing the permitted response time to 180 days. It is challenging for two parties, particularly if they have conflicting interests, to respond in such a short period of time. In many circumstances, an executor may not receive notification until several days or weeks after the IRS mails a letter (e.g., executors may be traveling). Then, there is a potential delay between the executor’s receipt and review of the letter. The executors ma y be inundated with mail particularly if the estate is large. Next, the executor may forward the information to an attorney and CPA. Once the two parties finally communicate with each other, additional time may be necessary to reach an agreement. Additional time is required to prepare the return or form. Finally, the parties have to coordinate the signing of the return or form. Accordingly, we request additional time to resolve any issue of multiple filings to avoid having the IRS allocate basis, a situation that none of the parties would want.Transfer CertificatesNotice 2011-66, Guidance I. A. Section 1022 Election states that the executor makes the Section 1022 Election by filing Form 8939. Guidance III. Transfer Certificates Under § 20.6325-1 provides that the IRS will not issue transfer certificates with respect to the property of a nonresident decedent who is not a citizen of the United States, who died in 2010, and whose executor makes the Section 1022 Election. We suggest that the IRS continue to issue transfer certificates for estates of both U.S. citizens and residents and nonresident noncitizens. Estates of 2010 decedents (irrespective of whether the decedent was a U.S. citizen or resident or nonresident) need to be able to show that they have complied by either filing Form 706 or Form 8939 to make the section 1022 election. If the IRS is unwilling to provide transfer certificates to estates that file Form 8939, we suggest an election box on the Form 8939 clearly stating that the election is being made to elect out of the estate tax. Such an election box might be sufficient to allow the transfer of the decedent’s property without a transfer certificate. In the absence of such an election on the form, the IRS should provide a statement to the executor that the estate has made the section 1022 election.Grouping of Small ItemsIn estates involving a substantial number of smaller items, we suggest the IRS consider permitting the grouping of these items on Form 8939. In the interest of tax simplification, we suggest that any such grouping rules should be consistent with the grouping rules for estate tax purposes under Treas. Reg. §20.2031-6(a), which allow a room-by-room itemization of household and personal effects, a grouping of articles individually worth less than $100, and an aggregate value appraised by a competent appraiser or dealer. We request that the IRS clarify that similar grouping rules apply to small items presented on Form 8939.Alternative Minimum Tax BasisWe want to make IRS aware of an urgent issue with which our members are struggling in trying to apply the carryover basis rules. Under Revenue Procedure 2011-41, Section 4.02, the general basis increase isdefined as the sum of the aggregate basis increase and the carryovers/unrealized losses increase under section 1022(b). However, there is no specific reference to alternative minimum tax (AMT).We suggest that IRS clarify whether an executor must allocate the basis increase for both regular tax and AMT purposes, and therefore, beneficiaries will potentially receive an asset with a different basis for AMT purposes. Furthermore, IRS should provide guidance on how carryovers/unrealized losses for AMT purposes should be treated.We urge IRS to provide guidance regarding AMT issues as soon as possible. Executors need certainty in order to determine whether they should elect to apply carryover basis treatment under section 1022 to estates of decedents who died in 2010. If such election is not made, the executor may need to file a 2010 Form 706, United States Estate (and Generation-Skipping) Tax Return by September 19, 2011.* * * * *These comments were developed by the AICPA Carryover Basis Task Force and approved by the AICPA Trust, Estate, and Gift Tax Technical Resource Panel, the AICPA Individual Income Tax Technical Resource Panel, and the AICPA Tax Executive Committee.We thank you for the opportunity to present our comments and welcome the opportunity to discuss these issues further with you or others at the IRS.
