Answer: C.The federal Commerce Clause only allows regulation of intrastate commerce, not interstate commerce.

Explanation:

The options are:

A.The federal Congress lacks in personam jurisdiction.

B.The federal Congress has exceeded its constitutional authority to regulate interstate commerce.

C.The federal Commerce Clause only allows regulation of intrastate commerce, not interstate commerce.

D.The application of this statute violates state law, so it is unconstitutional.

Based on the scenario in the question, in defense of the lawsuit and prosecution, Jake's best argument is that the federal Commerce Clause only allows regulation of intrastate commerce, not interstate commerce.

This is an example of intrastate commerce which should typically be left for the state government to handle as the state shouldn't be deprived of its function even though in certain rare cases, the Federal government may interfere.

If Randy invests $15,000 at a 9% interest
WITCHER [35]

It will take 8.04 years for the initial investment of $15000 to become $30,000

What is the future value of an investment?

The future value of $15,000 invested now earning a rate of return of 9% per year is $30,000, it the future equivalent of an amount invested now when the invested amount has earned interest over a specific period of time.

The below future value formula of single cash flow can be used to determine the number of years it takes for the initial investment to double.

FV=PV*(1+r)^N

FV=future value=$30,000

PV=initial investment=$15,000

r=rate of return=9%

N=number of years it takes for the initial investment to double=unknown(assume it is X)

$30,000=$15000*(1+9%)^N

$30000/$15000=(1+9%)^N

2=1.09^N

take log  of both sides

ln(2)=N*ln(1.09)

N=ln(2)/ln(1.09)

N=8.04 years

skad [1K]

Answer: Barry must include $6,000 in gross income from discharge of indebtedness

Explanation:

Feom the question above, we are told that Barry embezzled $6,000 from his employer and that even though his employer discovered the theft, the employ did not fire him and told him that he did not have to repay the $6,000 if he attend Alcoholics Anonymous.

Since Barry stole the money and.he.has been forgiven, the $6,000 has to be included in the gross income from discharge of indebtedness.
