Answer:
Phil = $6,000
Linda = $6,000
Explanation:
In the year 2019, and in the year 2020, the maximum contribution allowed = $6,000, also in case the age = 50 or more than that the maximum contribution allowed = $7,000.
Thus, on a general note here it is assumed that both Linda and Phil are less than the age of 50.
Further, in case joint return is filed then there is different formula to calculate the deductible contribution amount.
Here it shall be $6,000 each for both of them.
Answer:
Nothing the deed is considered properly acknowledged 10 years after recording
This is a key idea with international trade. This involves what is known as comparative advantage.
let's say country A can produce a ton of soybeans in 4 hours and a ton of corn in 2 hours. While country B can produce a ton of soybeans in 15 hours and a ton of corn in 5 hours.
Looking at this set up you can see that country A can produce both corn and soybeans faster, so they have an absolute advantage in both!
However what trade is based on is opportunity cost. So if we think about how much corn country A has to give up to produce soybeans, they have to divert a total of 4 hours from corn to soy beans to produce one ton of soy beans. That 4 hours could be used to produce 2 tons of corn (since 2 hours for 1 ton and we're taking away 4 hours!). So opportunity cost of soybeans in country A is 2 corn.
In country B they would need a total of 15 hours to produce one extra ton of soybeans, but those 15 hours could instead be used to produce 3 tons of corn (5 hours per ton and we're stealing 15 total hours). That means country B's opportunity cost is 3 corn.
Since A has a lower opportunity cost in produce soybeans they will specialize and B will specialize in corn.
Answer:
The original amount in the first sack is 80 lb of flour
The original amount in the second sack is 60 lb of flour
Explanation:
Let x represent the first sack and y represent the second sack
x + y = 140 --------- eqn (1)
One-eight of the flour from the first sack is (1/8)x = x/8
x - x/8 = y + x/8
7x/8 = (x + 8y)/8
7x = x + 8y
7x - x = 8y
6x = 8y
x = 8y/6
Substitute x = 8y/6 in eqn (1)
x + y = 140
8y/6 + y = 140
Multiply each term by 6
8y + 6y = 840
14y = 840
y = 840/14 = 60
x = 8y/6 = 8×60/6 = 8×10 = 80
First sack (x) = 80 lb of flour
Second sack (y) = 60 lb of flour
