Generally speaking, the taxpayer can deduct his alimony payment but not his child support payment. He may, however, be entitled to claim the child as a dependent, although this is beyond the scope of the question.

We can deduct the alimony payment but not the child support payment. Smith paid Goode $20,000 in 2017, although he owes 24,000. The adjusted gross income depends only on how much Alimony he paid.

If he paid the full $6,000 alimony and only 14,000 of child support, he can deduct the $6,000 for an adjusted gross income of 50,000- 6,000= $46,000.

If, for example, he paid the full $18,000 in child support and only 2,000 in alimony, he can only deduct the $2,000 for an adjusted gross income of 50,000 - 2,000 =48,000.

Answer:

Behavioral component

Explanation:

Attitude is the way we evaluate, prefer or reject a person or something which is determined by the information we have. General, it is how we tend to think or behave in a particular direction about a situation or something which is usually followed by feelings.

Attitude comprises of three components: cognitive, affective, and behavioral components.

The cognitive component of attitudes are the beliefs, characteristics and thoughts which are held by people about an object.

The affective component relates to emotions or feelings such hate, love or fear that are displayed by people toward something.

The behavior component of an attitude is they way a person intends or expects to behave toward an object. That is, it is an intention to react in a particular way toward an object or a situation.

Therefore, decision of Thomas to register for the project, as he is a trained kick-boxer, reflects the behavioral component of his attitude.

I wish you the best.

Country A has real GDP per person of 250,000 while Country B has real GDP per person of 500,000. All else constant, Country A wi
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Option A is correct because the level of saving in percentage for company A is 2% (5000/250000). Whereas the level of saving in the company B is 1.5% which is lower than the savings of company A. This will increase the standard of life in the long run because greater the savings the greater is the amount invested in Financial assets which will decline the interest rate as the funds for investment are in excess it will decline the demand for loans. This investment will earn its investor more which will change his standard of life.

Remember standard of living is measured by:

GDP per capita= Total GDP/ Total population

So if the GDP per person is higher it means his saving are lower. And if the level of saving are lower then the standard of living will decline because the money available for investment is lower in amount. This will not save him enough to maintain his standard of living.

So its true because the level of saving rate of company A is higher this means the standard of living in the near future will also increase with faster pace.
