Answer: 8%
Explanation:
The Annual Percentage Rate or APR for short is calculated by dividing the finance cost by the total amount borrowed in the following manner,
APR = Finance Charge / Amount borrowed.
To calculate the Finance charge we add the interest and the service charge.
Finance charge = 25 + 15
= $40
Back to the APR formula we will have,
APR = Finance Charge / Amount borrowed
APR = 40/500
= 0.08
APR is 8%.
Answer:
Since 2019, the deduction limit for interest expense deductions on qualified higher education loans is $2,500. In order to qualify for this deduction, the taxpayer's adjusted AGI must be less than $85,000 for single filers (Lionel's income is below the threshold).
So Lionel will be able to deduct $1,650 as interest expense (above the line deduction).
Lionel can also deduct $2,500 form the American Opportunity Tax Credit for higher education expenses.
