Answer:

Part(A):

Total expenses in connection with condo:

= 2000 + 6500 + 2000 + 1400 + 2500 + 14500

= $28,900

Assuming Alexa receives $20,000 inn gross rental receipts, she will incur losses = 20000 -28,900 = (8,900)

As Alexa's AGI from all sources other than the rental property($200,000) is higher than $150,000, she will not be able to deduct any amount of loss against her active income.

Therefore the loss is not deductible and rental activity has no effect on her AGI.

Part(B):

Assuming that Alexa’s AGI from other sources is $90,000.

Since her AGI is less $100,000, she will be able to deduct loss of $8,900

Therefore, rental activity loss will reduce Alexa's AGI to = 90,000 - 8.900 = 81,100

The rental activity loss will reduce her AGI by $8,900 and her AGI would be 81,100.

Explain how the production possibilities curve can be used to illustrate each of the following: a. wastefulness b. what happens

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

A. wastefulness - production inside PPC ; B. Economy growth - PPC shift outwards/rightwards ; C. Economy at Productive Efficiency - production on PPC ; D. Unattainable Production- Outside PPC

Explanation:

PPC is graphical representation of production combinations that an economy can produce, given resources & technology.

PPC is based on assumption : That resources are best efficiently utilised. So, all product combinations ON PPC reflect 'Economy is at Productive Efficiency'

All production points INSIDE PPC reflect inefficient utilisation of resources i.e 'Wastage'

Points OUTSIDE PPC are 'Unattainable Product Combinations'- as they are beyond economy's best optimum production, given resources & technology.

'Economic growth' is increase in resources &/or technology which increases economy's production potential and PPC curve SHIFTS rightwards or outwards.

What is the point at which supply and demand intersect at a given price?

WINSTONCH [101]

The answer is an equilibrium point. In economics, this relates to the condition of the economic forces in which supplies and demand meet meaning the demand is equal to the supplies of the certain product. It is set by increasing or decreasing the price of a good in response to the movement of the supply and demand in the market.

Carey Company had sales in 2016 of $1,560,000 on 60,000 units. Variable costs totaled $900,000, and fixed costs totaled $500,000

user100 [1]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price per unit= 1,560,000 / 60,000= $26

Unitary variable cost= 900,000 / 60,000= $15

Fixed costs= $500,000.

First, the income statement without the changes:

Sales= 1,560,000

Total varaible cost= (900,000)

Contribution margin= 660,000

Total fixed costs= (500,000)

Net operating income= 160,000

Now, with the changes:

Unitary variable cost= (15*0.8)= 12

Selling price= 26 - 1.5= $24.5

Sales in units= 60,000*1.05= 63,000

Fixed costs= 500,000 + 100,000= $600,000

Sales= 24.5*63,000= 1,543,500

Total variable cost= (12*63,000)= (756,000)

Total contribution margin= 787,500

Fixed costs= (600,000)

Net operating income= 187,500

You want to invest some money today to ensure you have exactly $50 thousand in 6 years to use as the down payment on a house. Yo

Naddik [55]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

STRIPS are zero coupon bonds, and the advantage of them is that they allow an investor to know exactly how much money they will receive at a future date.

The investor purchases the STRIPS at a discount value, which we are not told here. E.g. assuming that the discount rate is 5% (similar to (4), the price of the STRIPS = $50,000 / (1 + 5%)⁶ = $37,311.
