Answer:

The American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOTC) that can be claimed is $2,500.

Explanation:

As of 2018, no changes have been made to the AOTC. By law, with a modified  adjusted gross income (MAGI) of $80,000 or less for single individuals and $160,000 or less for married filing jointly, the individuals can claim the full credit amount. It is a credit paid for an eligible student to cover education expenses, if in the first four years of postsecondary education. A maximum annual amount of $2,500 is given and an additional 40% of remaining amount (up to $1,000) if the tax owed falls to zero.

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

e) Nan will have more money than Neal at any age.

Explanation:

In compound interest, the interest earned in the year is added to the principal amount at the beginning of the next year. Earned interest becomes part of the principal which makes it earn interest. Adding interest to the principal to earn more interest is known as compounding.

The longer the investment period is, the more time interest will be compounded, and the more the investment will grow.  Nan made her investment at age 25. By the time she retires, her investment period will be 35 years.  Neil started her investment at age 30. At any given time after they are both age 30, Nan's investment will have earned compounded interest five more times than Neil. Therefore, Nan will have more money at any given time.

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Direct material purchase budget = 546,000  pounds

Explanation:

<em>Raw material purchase budget is determined by adjusting the raw material usage budget for opening and closing inventory of materials. </em>

Purchase budget = usage budgeted + closing inventory - opening inventory

Usage budget = Production budget × standard materials per unit

                       = 172,000 × 3 pounds= 516,000

Purchase budget =516,000  + 380,000 - 350,000=546,000

Direct material purchase budget = 546,000  pounds

Serga [27]

Answer:

Increased government spending will be less effective for raising the Marginal Propensity to Consume.

Explanation:

The Marginal Propensity to Consume depends on disposable income, and disposable income is the money that individuals have after paying tax.

If the government increases spending, it will also increase taxes to finance spending, and if taxes are higher, people will have less disposable income, and even if their marginal propensity to consume increases, because they now have less money, the will spend less in total.

= ($42.25 - $42.75)× e^(-7.90% × 4÷12)

= -0.49

Hence, the  value of the short forward contract is -0.49
