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

The covenant is against encumbrances.

<h3><u>what is an encumbrance?</u></h3>

A claim made against a piece of property by someone who isn't the owner is called an encumbrance.

  • Real estate is subject to the most prevalent kinds of encumbrances, such as mortgages, easements, and property tax liens.

The previous property owner failed to disclose to Li Meng that there was an easement across the property.
