Answer:

A.- Randy can deduct $30,200  The interest on the loan of the car is nondeductible personal interest, but he can deduct all $28,000 on the home loan as an itemized deduction.   The $4,200 of margin interests is likely investment interest, and this itemized deduction is limited oto net investment income. $2,200 of interest income qualifies as investment income and he apparently has no other invesstment expenses, the investment interest expense would be limited to Randy´s $2,200 in net investment.

B. He may deduct all %28,000 of his interest on the home loan

Which type of light is primarily used as a light source in stores?
gregori [183]

Answer:

artificial light

Explanation:

Most stores, no matter the type of the merchandise they sell, use artificial light. Although natural light (sun) is always present, it is not enough to cater to the lighting needs of a business.

They need to showcase their goods in the best manner possible. Due to common building constraints, natural light is never enough, as some corners of the shop will remain shaded.

Businesses use LED or other sorts of artificial lighting in order to make the shopping experience pleasant.

In July 2008, the average price of gasoline in the United States was $4.09 per gallon and consumers bought 6 percent less gasoli
Basile [38]

Answer:

PED= 0.1571

Explanation:

The price elasticity of demand (PED) indicates how the quantity demanded change when the price changes. Is defined by this equation:  

Price Elasticity of Demand = Percentage change in Q/ Percentage change in P  

In this case, the problem is giving percentage changes in Q but we must calculate the percentage change in price:

%Change in price = ( p2-p1/p1)*100= ($4.09-$2.96)/$2.96= 0.3817*100=38.17%

%Change in quantity is= -6%

PED= -6%/38.17%

In absolute value:

PED= 0.1571

If the PED is less than 1 then gasoline is considered as inelastic.

When you get hired for a well-paying job, you will most likely view older used cars as<u> inferior goods.</u>

<h3><u /></h3><h3><u>What are inferior goods?</u></h3>

As consumer income rises, customer demand declines for a class of inferior goods. Low-cost alternatives to "normal products," or necessities like food and household supplies, are frequently found in inferior goods. For instance, when someone's wage is cut, they might buy cheaper, poorer things than they would otherwise. When their earnings increases again, they're more likely to buy regular things rather than cheap ones.

The word "inferior" refers to the product's price and perceived worth rather than its quality. The quality may occasionally be inferior to an equivalent standard good, but it may also occasionally be the same. In reality, there are occasions when the only distinctions between regular goods and equal substandard goods are the packaging and price of the goods.

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The answer is: Democratic management style

Explanation:

This management style is based on the belief that two heads are better than one, and that every employee (no matter position they hold) deserves to have a say.

So managers that follow this style usually encourage their employees to participate and share their ideas and suggestions. They tend to create horizontal organizations, but the final and last decision still belongs to the boss.

Employees usually like this system because they feel they are a valuable and important part of the organization. Many times it leads to higher efficiency and productivity.

As a downside, these organizations tend be more messy (informal) and decision making processes are very time consuming.
