Answer:

a. 116.9 and the inflation rate was 16.9%

Explanation:

<u>Definition</u>

Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a statistical measure that is constructed using a weighted average market basket of consumer goods and services produced by a household.

CPI = (Cost of market basket ₓ / Cost of market basket ₓ₁) * 100

where x = present year(2014) and x1 = base year(2012)

CPI = (90/77) * 100

CPI = 116.88

CPI = 116.9 (to 1 decimal place)

Inflation =<u>Current year basket cost - Base year basket cost</u>    * 100

                                    Base year basket cost

Inflation = <u>90-77</u>  * 100

                   77

Inflation = 16.88

Inflation = 16.9% ( to 1 decimal place)

hodyreva [135]

The maximum AOTC that can be claimed by Andre’s parents is $2,500.

American Opportunity Tax Credit means a tax credit on education expenses which are incurred within first four years of a student’s higher education.

  • The full tax credit is allowed when modified adjusted gross income is $160,000 or less.

  • 100% of first $2000 spent on education expenses and 25% of next $2000 of qualifying education expenses.

Maximum AOTC = $ 2000 + (0.25 × $2000)

Maximum AOTC = $2000 + $ 500

Maximum AOTC = $2500

Therefore, the maximum AOTC that can be claimed by Andre’s parents is $2,500.

wlad13 [49]

Answer: Alano's taxable income increases by $300,000.

Constructive dividends are paid to a shareholder and classified in such a way that they are not to be seen as taxable dividends.
