Answer:

Since 2019, the deduction limit for interest expense deductions on qualified higher education loans is $2,500. In order to qualify for this deduction, the taxpayer's adjusted AGI must be less than $85,000 for single filers (Lionel's income is below the threshold).

So Lionel will be able to deduct $1,650 as interest expense (above the line deduction).

Lionel can also deduct $2,500 form the American Opportunity Tax Credit for higher education expenses.

Consider the following two projects. Both have costs of $5,000 in Year 1. Project 1 provides benefits of $2,000 in each of the f
frutty [35]

Answer:

1. Compute the net benefits using a discount rate of 6 percent.

Net befit of Project 1 = $629.04

Net befit of Project 2 = $1,578.47

2. Repeat using a discount rate of 12 percent.

Net befit of Project 1 = $339.38

Net befit of Project 2 = - $373.39

3. What can you conclude from this exercise?

(a) Project 2 should be chosen when the discount rate is 6 percent.

(b) Project 1 should be chosen when the discount rate is 12 percent.

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculations of net benefits for Project 1 and Project 2.

3. What can you conclude from this exercise?

(a) When a discount rate of 6 percent is used, both Project 1 and Project 2 have positive net benefit. But the net benefit of Project 2 of $1,578.47 is higher than the net benefit of Project 1 of $629.04.

Therefore, project 2 should be chosen when the discount rate is 6 percent.

(a) When a discount rate of 12 percent is used, only Project 1 has a net benefit of $339.38, but the net benefit of Project 2 is negative at minus $373.39.

Therefore, project 1 should be chosen when the discount rate is 12 percent.

John wants to know how much he should pay for a particular used car. what should john do? he should ask his friend how much he p
SSSSS [86.1K]
What John should do is he should find reliable and relevant information; perhaps look up the information in the Kelley Blue Book.
He can't ask his friend because he may want to buy a different car, so his advice may not be helpful at all. A car dealer may want him to pay more than he should, so that wouldn't be useful either. His net worth will not help him reach his decision on how much he should pay for the particular car. So this Kelley Blue Book, which is used to compare prices for used cars is his best choice.

avanturin [10]

All of the following statements are true with regard to qualifying business losses EXCEPT: Qualifying losses from 2017 were carried forward to the taxpayer's 2018 tax return.

Explanation:

The loss would reduce any other eligible income of the applicant for the current year. An investor shall recover the QBI from various trades or businesses, including damages.

Upon deduction of all qualified company gains for the current year, the excess of the income shall be rolled forward to the next tax year. The unfavorable balance shall be shifted into the next fiscal year.

If the loss was incurred after 2018, the excluded or lost element is included in QBI and would otherwise be included in QBI, but is included in taxable income not until the year.

VashaNatasha [74]

Parametric estimation is a  techniques that uses a statistical relationship to calculate cost or duration based on historical data and other project parameters

Parametric estimation is a quantitative method (statisitical relationship) used to estimate the project cost, resources, and duration based on historical data and other project parameters.

Parametric estimation models are used when:

  1. There is precedent
  2. The model is a unit hence can be scaled up
  3. The parameters required are easily quantifiable

While the other options of this question is incorrect because:

b. grass roots estimating

Cost estimation done by the individuals who will be performing the task being estimated.

c. empirical estimating

Estimation method in which the data is obtained using empirical formulas. It is usually based on an amalgamation of historical data, assumptions, guesses, and personal experience.  

d. analogous estimating

Also called top-down estimating, this is a technique that involves comparing previous projects, personal experiences and cursory cross-referencing observed costs to estimate time resources required. This technique is most useful in the absence of quantifiable data.
