Answer:
B. The cost of utilities is deductible for AGI
Explanation:
The entire cost of the utilities would be for AGI deduction assuming no personal use of the condo. The employer portion of Marilyn's self-employment tax would be deductible as well.
Adjusted gross income (AGI) is a measure of income calculated from your gross income and used to determine how much of your income is taxable. It is the starting point for calculating a filer's tax bill in the United States and, among other things, is the basis for many deductions and credits. When filing your taxes online—as about 80% of filers do—the software you use will calculate your AGI for you.

Answer:
D. Americans purchase more Canadian made products.
Explanation:
The situation that would typically result from an appreciating U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar is "Americans purchase more Canadian made products."
When Americans purchase more Canadian-made products, the Canadian dollar will rise or appreciate against the U.S. dollar. This is based on the principle of trade balance, whereby the monetary value of a country's imports and exports are evaluated over a given period.
In this case, the monetary value of Canadian exports against the U.S. dollar will indicate a positive trade surplus, hence, the Canadian dollar or currency will appreciate against the U.S. dollar.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The portion of the initial amount that was given away is:
= 0.40
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Number of apples available = 10
Number of those apples given to a friend for Christmas = 4
The portion given away = 4/10 = 0.4
This represents 40% of the whole.
b) The portion given away to the friend for Christmas is a proportion of the whole.  In this case, it represents just 40% of the 10 apples.  This means that only 60% or 0.60 of the original apples are still available or on hand because 40% had been given away.
