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.
Answer:
Reinvestment risk
Explanation:
The mortgage banker would be most concerned about reinvestment risk, among other risks. Reinvestment risk relates to the inability to earn an original interest rate on an investment from periodic cash flows from the investment, thus limiting the overall rate of return on the investment.
In the question, since market mortgage rate has declined to 7.5%, the mortgage bank would have to reinvest the amount repaid from the original borrower at the new market rate, which is 1% lower than the ruling rate when the original borrower took the loan.
The problem would be compounded if the cost of funding to the mortgage bank was, for instance 8%. If that was the case, on the original loan, the mortgage bank was earning a (8.5% less 8% cost of funding =) 0.5% on the loan. However, due to the decline in market rates, the mortgage bank would have a cost of 8% compare to a market rate of 7.5% it would earn, thus resulting in a negative return of 0.5%.
Answer:
The answer is: b
Explanation:
In long-run equilibrium, the long run aggregate demand curve and aggregate supply curve intersect where the marginal revenue (revenue derived from selling an additional unit) and marginal cost (cost incurred from producing) an additional unit) are equal. In the long-run equilibrium, this intersection occurs at the lowest point of the long-run average total cost curve (curve depicting the average cost per unit of production).
Holding all else constant, short run changes in the economy would not change the potential output levels. The long-run aggregate supply curve would remain fixed at the potential level of output. However, these changes: international tensions, corporate scandals and loss of confidence in policymakers would cause shifts in the aggregate demand curve since demand would be adversely affected.
Consumer confidence is the perspective or outlook that consumers have on the state of the economy. The destabilising factors given in this scenario would raise the levels of uncertainty and perceived risk, reducing the confidence levels of consumers and ultimately resulting in reduced demand. In long-run equilibrium, when demand is reduced, it is indicated by a leftward shift in the aggregate demand curve.
Answer/Explanation:
In the statement given the problem is specified as the discouragement for med students to take lower paying but needed jobs because of the high student debt. This issue has been analyzed from several sectors of society and even by professionals in other areas that experience similar situations.
Some of the solutions proposed for this problem are to make higher education free of cost or partially subsided by the government (like it is in other countries).
Other Sources mention collages should have lower fees. However, there are further implications in this subject that need to be considered.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "B": direct.
Explanation:
Direct Costs for finished goods refer to the items and services directly used in production. Other costs such as rent and insurance for the production site are indirect costs. Examples of direct costs are direct labor and materials, manufacturing supplies or even commissions out of sales.
