A small office building is purchased for $1,200,000 with a balloon mortgage that is due at the end of year 10. Payments are base
anygoal [31]

Answer:

$12,000 during the first year or $1,200 per year during 10 years  

Explanation:

The IRS considers mortgage points as interest paid in advance, and generally individuals and small businesses will deduct them entirely during the current year. But the taxpayer can choose to deduct that amount ratably over the life of the loan (in this case 10 years). Of course most people chooses to deduct them completely during the first year because the IRS doesn't recognize any interest.

What is an arrangement in which the supplier maintains title to the inventory until it is​ used?.
Advocard [28]

<u></u>

<u>Consignment inventory</u> is an arrangement in which the supplier maintains title to the inventory until it is used.

<h3>What is Consignment Inventory?</h3>

Consignment inventory is a supply chain model in which a product is sold by a retailer, but ownership is retained by the supplier until the product has been sold. Because the retailer does not actually buy the inventory until it has been sold, unsold products can be returned.

In other Term, Consignment inventory is a supply chain strategy or business agreement in which the consignor (i.e., wholesaler, supplier, manufacturer) gives the goods to a consignee (i.e., the retailer) to sell.

The consignor still owns the products and the consignee will only pay for them once they’ve been sold.

For instance, a retailer may strike up a consignment agreement with a fashion designer and agree to sell the designer’s clothes in-store. The retailer will only pay for the goods that are sold, and the rest will be returned to the designer.

Therefore, we can conclude that the correct option is B.

Your question is incomplete, but most probably your full question was:

What is an arrangement in which the supplier maintains title to the inventory until it is​ used?

A. postponement

B. consignment inventory

C. delayed transfer

D. supplier control

B. consignment inventory
