The following information applies to Caroline, who is single, for 2017:

Business
1 answer:
Aliun [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

1. Child support received  ⇒ NOT TAXABLE

2. Life insurance proceeds received as a result of the death of her mother  ⇒ NOT TAXABLE, ONLY INTERESTS RECEIVED FROM A LIFE INSURANCE POLICY ARE TAXABLE, THE PRINCIPAL IS NOT TAXABLE.

3. Alimony received  ⇒ TAXABLE IN 2017. THE TC&JA ESTABLISHED THAT ALL ALIMONY RECEIVED STARTING 2019 WOULD BE TREATED AS CHILD SUPPORT, BUT ANY ALIMONY PAYMENTS ESTABLISHED AND ALREADY PAID UNTIL 2018 ARE CONSIDERED INCOME FOR THE RECEIVING PARTY AND ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE FOR THE GIVING PARTY.

4. Salary  ⇒ TAXABLE INCOME

5. Jury duty fees   ⇒ TAXABLE INCOME

Identify which items Caroline can deduct (fully or partially).

6. Penalty for early withdrawal from savings  ⇒ YOU CANNOT DEDUCT ANY PENALTIES FROM EARLY WITHDRAWALS FROM IRA ACCOUNTS, YOU CAN DEDUCT PENALTIES FROM CASHING A CASH DEPOSIT EARLY, BUT I DON'T THINK THIS IS THE CASE.

7. Contributions to Health Savings Account  ⇒ 100% TAX DEDUCTIBLE

8. Caroline's taxable income in 2017 is $.

Salary $44,000

Alimony received $9,600

Jury duty fees $75

Contributions to Health Savings Account ($3,600)

Standard deduction for single filer 2017 ($6,350)

Personal exemption ($4,050)

Her mother cannot be claimed as a dependent because her income was higher than the gross income limit. Since we are not given the number of children, or if they continued to be minors during more than half of 2017, we cannot include them in our calculations. That is also why I considered Caroline a single filer and not a head of household.

total taxable income = $39,675

Jill just made a purchase online. The store that she bought from gave her the option to pay with a check, money order, or credit
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

The credit card is the most effective method of payment.

Explanation:

The store will not ship the item until the payment is accredited to their account. Because of this, Jill needs to pick the payment  method that have the fastest clear time.

The Check: usually takes about two business days for a deposited check to clear.

Money Order: It depends on the bank. Some banks allow for money orders to be cleared and deposited almost immediately, and some require at least one business day for it to clear.

Credit Card: almost all the time payments can take place immediately.

The obvious choice is Credit Card payment for the instant clear of the funds in the store account.

Suppose a company is financed with $20 million of equity and $60 million of debt. That is, the company obtained $20 million from
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Existing Equity = 20 million

Existing debt = 60 million

Total capital = 20 million + 60 million = 80 million

a. Given company issued 30 million of equity to retire debt

Equity after raise = $20 million + $30 million = $50 million

Debt = $60 million - $30 million = $30 million

Total capital size remain at $80 million

Capital structure, Equity = $50 million/$80 million = 0.625 = 62.50%

Debt = (1-0.625) = 0.375 = 37.50%

b. The market would welcome the new issue as the risk of  the firm would be reduced.

The​ short-run aggregate supply curve slopes upward because of all of the following reasons except
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

B) in the short run, an unexpected change in the price of an important resource can change the cost to firms.

Explanation:

The short run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve is upward sloping because as the price of goods and services increases, the quantity supplied will increase. In the short run, wages are more sticky than prices, and businesses can adjust prices more rapidly than employees can get a raise. This will result in businesses increasing their profit margins as the general level of prices increases, therefore the SRAS curve will be upward sloping.

An unexpected change in the price of a key input will shift the entire SRAS curve either to the right (price of key input decreases) or to the left (price of key input increases).
