Answer:
The amount may he deduct as interest in 2015 is $960.
Explanation:
As per the provision of IRS (reference to 550), any amount of interest due towards money borrowed for investment purposes (also known as investment interest) can be claimed as a deduction. Therefore, it becomes important to allocate the total amount of loan/borrowing between the amount utilized for personal/business purposes and investment purposes.
In the given case, George has borrowed $20,000, out of which $16,000 has been used for investment purposes, that is, 80% (16,000/20,000*100%), while the remaining 20% (4,000/20,000*100) is used for personal purposes (purchase of four-wheel recreation vehicle).
Out of the total interest of $1,200 (20,000*8%*9/12) due on the amount borrowed, $960 (1,200*80%) can be claimed as deduction (in the form of investment interest). The remaining $240 cannot be claimed as deduction.
Therefore, The amount may he deduct as interest in 2015 is $960.

Explanation:
Answer:
13.5%
Explanation:
market rate of return can be calculated with below expresion
Current Price = D / (K - g)
Where
Current Price = $22 a share
D= Dividend in coming Year
dividend = $2.42
K= rate of return
g =growth rate
22 = 2.42 / (K - 0.025)
Cross multiply we have
22(K - 0.025)= 2.42
Open the bracket we have
22k- 0.55=2.42
2.42 + 0.55= 22k
K = 2.97 / 22
= 0.135
= 0.135×100%
= 13.5%
Therefore, the market rate of return if this stock is currently selling for $22 a share is 13.5
Answer:
<u>True</u>
Explanation:
Remember, Consideration is that thing that is legally agreed and given such as money, property in exchange for something.
What usually should come first in any contract is sufficient consideration; presence of value to be given.
Therefore, a Court can refuse to enforce an agreement due to insufficient consideration because it is the primary thing that should come first in any contract.
For example, a father gives his adult son $5 on Monday as a present and the son is impressed he says he’ll give his father $10 the following day, there is no contract. In this scenario the son does not have to give his father $10 on Tuesday, because they (son and father) did not agree to give $5 in exchange for $10. A court would term this case as having insufficient consideration.
