Answer:

$1,500

Explanation:

Investment interest expenses = Interest Income + Non qualifying dividends

Investment interest expenses = $500 + $1,000

Investment interest expenses = $1,500  

$1,500 < $2,500 (Investment interest expenses)

The long term capital gains are not considered in investment income because this income is taxed at a preferential rate.  Hence, the Investment interest expenses deduction for the year is $1,500.

Stels [109]

Answer:

(B) False

Explanation:

As we know that

Net income = Total revenues - total expenses

The main difference between the single - step income statement and the multi-step income statement  due to classifications

Profit before tax

Less: income tax

Net income

So in both the cases, the amount of the net income is equal.

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

4%

Explanation:

Simple interest is calculated using the formula

I = p x r x t

in this case, the interest I is the total amount-principal amount

I = $50,000- $46,875

=$3,125

$3,125 = 46,875 x r x 1 year 8 months

$3,125 =46,875 x r/100 x 1.67

3125=78,281.25 x r/100

$3125 x 100 = 78,281.25 x r

$312500= 78,281.25

r=312500/78,281.25

r=3.992

r=4%

densk [106]

Answer:

Number of days = 60

For exact :

Exact simple interest uses 365 days :

Simple interest = principal * rate * time

Simple interest = $1500 * 0.14 * 60 / 360 = $35
