Answer:

40%

Explanation:

Initial amount invested  = $50 × 100 × 50% = $2,500

Profit from sale and repurchase = ($50 - $40) × 100 = $1,000

Rate of return = $1,000 ÷ $2,500 = 0.40, or 40%.

Therefor, the rate of return would be 40%.

I have a signed contract with one company this company sold my contract to another company that did the work and it wasn't done
schepotkina [342]
In specifics, it depends on the written up sales contract that the first company arranged with the one that did the work. But personally, I'd blame the second company. Personal opinions don't matter when it comes to legal matters though.. sorry.

During the current year, Cary and Bill incurred acquisition debt on their residence of $1,300,000 and a home equity loan of $200
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

qualified acquisition debt = $750,000

qualified home equity debt = $0

Explanation:

Qualified acquisition debt refers to the debt incurred to purchase or build your home. In this case, Cary and Bill are allowed to itemize the interests paid for up to $750,000 of the acquisition debt ($375,000 if filing separately). This limit was reduced due to the TCJA of 2017, and will remain in place until 2025. After 2025, the limit will return to the normal $1,000,000.

Certain amount of interests on qualified home equity loans will also return in 2025, but currently they are not deductible.
