Available Options Are:

A. Increases investment interest expense

B. Is required

C. Reduces interest income

D. Increases interest income

E. Increases the basis of the bond

Answer:

Option C. Reduces Interest Income

Explanation:

The reason is that when we amortize the premium the carrying value of the bond decreases which decreases the principal amount and thus the interest calculated will also be decreased. The decrease in principal amount is because of the difference between the coupon rate of the bond and the firm's required rate of return.

Hence the amortization of the premium reduces the interest income.

Assume the initial present value of the payments on a lease are equal to the cost of the leased asset. This capital lease is rec
Whitepunk [10]

Answer: D) present value of the remaining lease payments.

Explanation:

When recording a capital lease in the balance sheet of the lessee, the amount recorded is the<em> lower amount </em>between the present value of the remaining lease payments or the cost of the leased asset.

As the <em>cost</em> of the leased asset is <em>equal</em> to the <em>initial</em> present value of the payments, the cost will therefore be higher than the current present value of the remaining payments so the appropriate amount to put in the balance sheet will be the current present value of the remaining lease payments.

For a qualifying relative to be claimed as a dependent, a person must either be related to the taxpayer, or be a member of the t
Burka [1]

Answer:

The correct option is (C)

Explanation:

To be able to claim somebody as a dependent, the person has to qualify 4 tests. They are:

  • Lineal descendant
  • Must live with the taxpayer for more than a year
  • Should be below 19 years or under 24 if a full time student
  • Cannot file return on their own.

If a person who is not a lineal descendant to be claimed as a dependent needs to be a part of taxpayer's household for 365 days (whole year).

In this case, taxpayer's cousin is not a lineal descendant. Rest of them (sister, father and son-in-law) are lineal descendants. So, cousin has to stay with the taxpayer for the entire year.
