Answer:

$72,000

Explanation:

To calculate investment interest expense dedcution, we need to know the total investment income  & total investment interest expenses

Then there're 2 scenarios as followings:

  • If the investment interest expenses are less than the net investment income, the entire investment interest expense is deductible.
  • If the investment interest expenses are more than the net investment income, we can deduct the expenses up to the net investment income amount. The rest of the expenses are carried forward to next year.

In this example, Ramon's investment income is  $72,000 ($34,500 of interest and a $37,500 net capital gain on the sale of securities); is lower than his interest expenses of $83,100.

So Ramon is entiled to deduct $72,000 all the entire investment interest expense in current year

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

a. $965.74

b. $939.11

Explanation:

In this question we use the Present value formula i.e shown in the attachment below:

1. Given that,  

Future value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 6.5%

NPER = 4 years

PMT = $1,000 × 5.5% = $55

The formula is shown below:

= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

So, after solving this, the price would be $965.74

2. Given that,  

Future value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 6.5%

NPER = 8 years

PMT = $1,000 × 5.5% = $55

The formula is shown below:

= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

So, after solving this, the price would be $939.11
