Answer:

Mortgage interest of $7,875 and property taxes of $1,850.

Explanation:

A tax deduction can be defined as the total amount of money that one can deduct to lower their tax liability. More tax deductions always implies a reduced tax liability. In dealing with mortgage payments, tax deductions should be considered carefully to determine how much one tax one needs to pay. The following mortgage expenses are considered for deductions;

1. Mortgage interest

A mortgage interest deduction is a deduction that allows homeowners to subtract the interest on the loan they used to pay for the purchase, improvements or building of a home. In our case, Hilda and Hyatt are liable to a deduction of $7,875.

2. Property tax

In general, state and local property taxes are eligible to be deducted from the federal income taxes of a property owner. The only taxes that are deductible are state, local and foreign taxes levied for public welfare. They do not include services like home renovation and trash collection. The federal tax as of 2018 for property tax was capped at a total of $10,000. This means that any property tax value below $10,000 was eligible to a property tax deduction of that amount.

Brief Exercise 24-2 Hsung Company accumulates the following data concerning a proposed capital investment: cash cost $216,758, n
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Net Present Value = $12,400

Since net present value is positive, the investment shall be made.

Explanation:

Capital outlay = $216,758

Cash inflow every year = $43,900

Period = 10 Years

Net Present Value = Present value of cash inflow - Present value of cash outflow

Present Value of Cash Inflow = Cash inflow each year X Present value factor of cash inflows for years

= $43,900 X 5.22

= $229,158

Present value of cash outflow = $216,758

Net Present Value = $229,158 - $216,758 = $12,400

Since net present value is positive, the investment shall be made.

Net Present Value measures the net effect of an investment discounted at current rate of interest, i.e. cost of capital.

Final Answer

Net Present Value = $12,400

Since net present value is positive, the investment shall be made.

andreev551 [17]

Answer and Explanation:

There is no contract between Time's and Joshua, because it is not legally binding to each other and it has not been signed by either party. So not a single party is liable for the contract as the contract is unsigned and non-liable

Time has used it as a promotional means only for promoting magazine subscriptions.
