A customer has $20,000 to invest, but needs immediate access to the funds to pay a variety of bills that will arrive over the ne
tatiyna

Answer:

A. Money Market checking account

Explanation:

A money market account represents a savings account with some features of a checking account provided by a bank. Herein, a customer deposits money, and such funds are invested into money market instruments which are highly liquid, such as commercial papers, treasury bills, certificate of deposits, etc.

Such accounts provide debit card and checks and allow a certain number of withdrawals every month. The rate of interest offered under these accounts is usually higher than the ordinary savings account.

In the given case, the customer has $20,000 to invest and also requires immediate access to the funds to pay his bills. The best recommendation would be to deposit such funds to a money market checking account, which would provide him with access i.e liquidity, a higher rate of interest than on savings account and safety of investment.

It is noteworthy that all other options specified are not as liquid as money market checking account since, those alternatives either require considerable time in redeeming and selling or do not provide immediate access to funds.

musickatia [10]
42,750 = gross income standard deduction reduces your taxable income - 5700.00 exemption acts like a tax deduction, reducing taxable income - 3650.00 IRA contributions are tax deductible - 537.56 donating to charity is tax deductible - 918 mortgage interest payments are tax deductible - 1351.35 income NOT taxable - 5700 + 3650 + 537.56 + 918 + 1351.35 = 12,156.91. 42,750.00 - 12,156.91 = 30,593.09 <---taxable income I think I did this correctly, but just in case, you might want to get a second opinion :)

Tax laws permit installment sales, which are recognized in the year of sale for financial reporting purposes, to be reported in
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

lower; higher.

Explanation:

Taxation can be defined as the involuntary or compulsory fees levied on individuals or business entities by the government to generate revenues used for funding public institutions and activities.

The different types of tax include the following;

1. Income tax: a tax on the money made by workers in the state. This type of tax is paid by employees with respect to the amount of money they receive as their wages or salary.

2. Property tax: a tax based on the value of a person's home or business. It is mainly taxed on physical assets or properties such as land, building, cars, business, etc.

3. Sales tax: a tax that is a percent of the price of goods sold in retail stores. It is being paid by the consumers (buyers) of finished goods and services and then, transfered to the appropriate authorities by the seller.

Generally, installment sales are permitted or allowed by the tax laws in a country. Typically, they are recognized in the year of sale for the purpose of financial reporting. Also, installment sales for any goods or services are to be reported in the tax return, at a later time when cash is received from the customer (buyer).

This results in a deferred tax liability because taxable income is lower than financial income in the year of sale, and higher than financial income in later years when collected.
