In year 1, Kris purchased a new home for $200,000 by making a down payment of $150,000 and financing the remaining $50,000 with

a loan, secured by the residence, at 6 percent. As of January 1, year 4, the outstanding balance on the loan was $40,000. On January 1, year 4, when his home was worth $300,000, Kris refinanced the home by taking out a $150,000 mortgage at 5 percent. With the loan proceeds, he paid off the $40,000 balance of the existing mortgage and used the remainder for purposes unrelated to the home. During year 4, he made interest only payments on the new loan of $7,500. What amount of the $7,500 interest expense on the new loan can Kris deduct in year 4 on the new mortgage as home related interest expense?
a. $2,000
b. $5,000

Answer: D. $7,500

Explanation:

Before the $150,000 mortgage at 5%, the existing $40,000 balance of the loan was paid off. Therefore, only the mortgage was payable. At 5% x %150,000 = $7500 interest.

Therefore, the amount $7500 interest expense Kris will deduct as home related interest expense would be $7,500.

In 5-10 sentences, answer the Question; What is a Market Economy?
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

A market economy is an economic system in which the decisions regarding investment, production and distribution are guided by the price signals created by the forces of supply and demand. The major characteristic of a market economy is the existence of factor markets that play a dominant role in the allocation of capital and the factors of production.Market economies range from minimally regulated free-market and laissez-faire systems where state activity is restricted to providing public goods and services and safeguarding private ownership, to interventionist forms where the government plays an active role in correcting market failures and promoting social welfare. State-directed or dirigist economies are those where the state plays a directive role in guiding the overall development of the market through industrial policies or indicative planning—which guides yet does not substitute the market for economic planning—a form sometimes referred to as a mixed economy.

cluponka [151]

Answer:

$338,712

Explanation:

we must first calculate the monthly payment using the present value of an annuity formula:

present value = monthly payment x annuity factor

present value = $340,000

PV annuity factor, 0.529167%, 420 periods = 168.38268

monthly payment = $340,000 / 168.38268 = $2,019.21

Since the monthly payment was actually higher than $1,800, the balloon payment will be almost $340,000

laiz [17]

Answer:

3,000,000 juicers

Explanation:

<em>Maximum numbers per workstation in 30 days: </em>

Exterior construction = 100,000*30 = 3,000,000

Pulp filter = 25,000*24/6*30 = 3,000,000

Painting = 3,000*24/0.5*30 = 4,320,000

Packaging = 5,000*24*30 = 3,600,000.

The lowest of the numbers above is 3,120,000 and that means that Bryan inc. can manufacture 3,000,000 juicers.
