Hi there.

To calculate investment interest expense dedcution, we need to know the total investment income & total investment interest expenses
Then there're 2 scenarios as followings:
- If the investment interest expenses are less than the net investment income, the entire investment interest expense is deductible.
- If the investment interest expenses are more than the net investment income, we can deduct the expenses up to the net investment income amount. The rest of the expenses are carried forward to next year.
In this example, Ramon's investment income is $72,000 ($34,500 of interest and a $37,500 net capital gain on the sale of securities); is lower than his interest expenses of $83,100.
So Ramon is entiled to deduct $72,000 all the entire investment interest expense in current year
Coca-Cola acquired its bottlers and created a national vertically integrated business operation in 2010. After spending 12.3 billion USD to acquire Coca-Cola Enterprises, its largest bottling partner, it reversed course in 2015 and sold off all its bottling operations.

Answer:
Bob Katz and Sally Mander
Taxable Income for 2018:
= $78,200
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Total wages = $102,400
Gain from sale of stock = 5,200
Interest income = 100
Total income = $107,700
less total deductions = (29,500)
Taxable Income = $78,200
b) Bob Katz and Sally Mander will have taxable income of $78,200 when the appropriate rate of tax is applied and the tax liability obtained, then the $1,500 tax credit will be deducted before arriving at the tax liability due.
c) The short-term capital gain of $5,200 is taxed as ordinary income. Since it is held for less than a year, it will be included in the taxable income for that year and it follows the same tax brackets as ordinary income. On the other hand, the long-term capital gain of $13,000 will attract a tax rate of 0 percent for a taxable income of $78,200. Otherwise, it will attract a tax rate of 15 percent or 20 percent, depending on income level. This means that long-term capital gains tax rates are much lower than the ordinary income tax rate.
