Answer:

c. 50%

Explanation:

According to the Internal revenue service, if the joint return is filled with the income below $32,000 then no tax liability would arise

But if the income lies in between $32,000 to $44,000, 50% of the benefits is taxable and if the income exceeds to $44,000, 85% of the benefits are taxable  

Since in the question, the combined income is $43,860 that is below $44,000 so only 50% of heir social security benefits are taxable

Most home insurance policies cover jewelry for $1,000 and silverware for $2,500 unless items are covered with additional insuran
raketka [301]

Answer:

$8,200

Explanation:

The amount of asset that is not covered under the insurance policy would not be claimable so if the amount of insurance policy that covers jewelry of worth $1000 and silverware of worth $2,500 then the total claimable insurance would be $3500 ($1000 for both Jewelry and $2500 for silverware).

The jewelry stolen is worth $5200 and out of it $4200 is not claimable because $1000 of this is covered under the insurance policy. Likewise the silverware worth of $6500 has been stolen of which $4000 is not claimable because $2500 of this is covered under the insurance policy.

The claim that would be not covered under the insurance policy would be:

Non claimable insurance amount = ($5,200 - $1,000) + ($6,500 - $2,500)

= $8,200
