Answer:
a) Ending adjusted basis and at-risk amount $ 0
(b)The current passive loss is $12,000. Because $7,500 of the loss is used to reduce
the at-risk amount to $0, $4,500 is suspended under the at-risk rules ($12,000 − $7,500 = $4,500).
(c) The $7,500 loss that is not limited by the at-risk rules is subject to the passive loss
rules. Because the taxpayer has not generated any passive income during the year, this $7,500 current-year passive loss is suspended. Therefore, the total suspended passive loss carried forward to subsequent years totals $9,000 ($7,500 current-year suspended loss + $1,500 prior year suspended loss).
Explanation:
<span>The original cost of protein bar = $2.50
The increased cost of protein bar = $2.80
Therefore, the increase in price of the protein bar = $2.80-$2.50
=$0.30
percentage increase = (Difference in price / Original price) x 100
=(0.30/2.50)x100
=(3/25)x100
=3 x 4
=12%</span>
Answer:
Gross Income:
= Earned wages + Interest from savings + Interest on home mortgage
= 93,260 + 1,340 + 4,500
= $99,100
Adjusted gross income:
= Gross income - Tax deferred plan - State taxes
= 99,100 - 6,300 - 1,359
= $91,441
Taxable income
= Adjusted gross income - Personal exemption - Standard deduction - Charity contribution
= 91,441 - 3,500 - 7,800 - 2,500
= $77,641
Answer:

The computation of the cost of direct material used is shown below:
= Opening balance of raw material + purchased materials - ending balance of raw material
= $10,300 + $34,400 - $9,800
= $34,900
Hence, the correct option is a.
