Answer:
Since 2019, the deduction limit for interest expense deductions on qualified higher education loans is $2,500. In order to qualify for this deduction, the taxpayer's adjusted AGI must be less than $85,000 for single filers (Lionel's income is below the threshold).
So Lionel will be able to deduct $1,650 as interest expense (above the line deduction).
Lionel can also deduct $2,500 form the American Opportunity Tax Credit for higher education expenses.

Answer:
The answer is: A) degree to which the data is an accurate portrait of the target population.
Explanation:
To explain data generalizability I like to use election polls as an example. There are over 200 million voters in the US, and polls only cover a few thousands of voters, it is impossible to survey the whole population. Data generalizability refers to how well does the election polls reflect the real outcome of an election. Can the data sample used in the polls serve as a true parameter to know the real outcome of the election? Some polls are accurate and others aren't, accurate polls have high data generalizability.
Answer:
A - If a bond sells at a discount, the yield to maturity is greater than the current yield
Explanation:
Yield to maturity is the expected return if the bond is held till maturity. Current yiled is the return if the bond is sold today. There is an evident relationship between yield to maturity (TYM) and the current yield.
“When a bond's market price is above par, which is known as a premium bond, its current yield and YTM are lower than its coupon rate. Conversely, when a bond sells for less than par, which is known as a discount bond, its current yield and YTM are higher than the coupon rate. Only on occasions when a bond sells for its exact par value are all three rates identical” (Bloomenthal, 2020).
According to the above statements, options C, B and D are eliminated. This leaves option A (If a bond sells at a discount, the yield to maturity is greater than the current yield) as the correct answer. This is true because YTM is calculated on purchase price rather than par value, if the purchase price is less than par value, the YTM will be greater than the current yield.
