Hall, a divorced person and custodian of her 12-year-old child, filed her 2021 federal income tax return as head of a household.

She submitted the following information to the CPA who prepared her 2021 return: The divorce agreement, executed in 2016, provides for Hall to receive $3,000 per month, of which $600 is designated as child support. After the child reaches 18, the monthly payments are to be reduced to $2,400 and are to continue until remarriage or death. However, for the year 2021, Hall received a total of only $5,000 from her former husband. Hall paid an attorney $2,000 in 2021 in a suit to collect the alimony owed. In June 2017, Hall's mother gifted her 100 shares of a listed stock. The donor's basis for this stock, which she bought in 1985, was $4,000, and market value on the date of the gift was $3,000. Hall sold her stock in July 2017 for $3,500. The donor paid no gift tax.During 2017, Hall spent a total of $1,000 for state lottery tickets. Her lottery winnings in 2017 totaled $200.Hall earned a salary of $25,000 in 2017. Hall was not covered by any type of retirement plan, but contributed $2,000 to an IRA in 2017.In 2017, Hall sold an antique that she bought in 1995 to display in her home. Hall paid $800 for the antique and sold it for $1,400, using the proceeds to pay a court‐ordered judgment.Hall paid the following expenses in 2017 pertaining to the home that she owns: realty taxes, $3,400; mortgage interest, $7,000; casualty insurance, $490; assessment by city for construction of a sewer system, $910; interest of $1,000 on a personal, unsecured bank loan, the proceeds of which were used for home improvements. Hall does not rent out any portion of the home. Hall's $2,000 contribution to an IRA should be treated as
a. A deduction from adjusted gross income not subject to the 2% of adjusted gross income floor.
b. A deduction from adjusted gross income subject to the 2% of adjusted gross income floor.
c. An adjustment to income in arriving at adjusted gross income.
d. Non-deductible, with the interest income on the $2,000 to be deferred until withdrawal.

The $2000  contribution to an IRA should be treated as an An adjustment to income in arriving at adjusted gross income.

<h3>The reason Hall has to go with this option</h3>

The individuals that are not in a retirement plan of a company have the option of deducting their cash contributions to their own retirement accounts.

They are able to do this given that the money is 6000 dollars or a hundred percent of their gross income.

Taxes are not paid on interest in this type of account till the earnings from the retirement plan is distributed.

On December 31, 2017, Extreme Fitness has adjusted balances of $870,000 in Accounts Receivable and $69,000 in Allowance for Doub
kondaur [170]

Answer: The amount the company would report as its net accounts receivable at 31 December 2017 is $801,000.

Explanation: Net accounts receivable is the recoverable amount of receivable after considering the amount that is deemed to be uncollectible. It is accounts receivable balance minus the allowance for doubtful accounts.

In the instance of this question, the net accounts receivable was initially $801,000 ($870,000 - $69,000). Now that management approved a write-off of $17,000, the implication is that the write-off would hit allowance for doubtful account (since there is a buffer in that account instead of bad debt expense), and the necessary accounting entries to be recorded would be: <em>Debit Allowance for doubtful accounts $17,000; Credit Accounts Receivable $17,000. </em>With these entries, both accounts receivable and the allowance for doubtful accounts would be reduced by the same account. Consequently, the net accounts receivable remains the same but the individual balances in accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful account would now be $853,000 ($870,000 - $17,000) and $52,000 ($69,000 - $17,000).

Suppose a government has no debt and a balanced budget. Suddenly it decides to spend $4 trillion while raising only $3 trillion
Nady [450]

Answer:

$40 billion

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Amount spend by government = $4 trillion

Amount raised by Taxes = $3 trillion

Interest rate = 4%

Now,

The bonds to be raised by the government

= Amount spend by government - Amount raised by Taxes

= $4 trillion - $3 trillion

= $1 trillion

or

= $1000 billion

Therefore,

The interest paid by the government each year

= Amount of bonds × Interest rate

= $1000 billion × 0.04

= $40 billion
