Answer:

b. Scotty did not itemize deductions in 2017

Explanation:

Let's assume that Scotty didn't itemize in 2015, that means that he will be able to remove the reimbursement from gross income in 2016. Also, assuming Scotty itemized deductions in 2015, he has to report the reimbursement as gross income in 2016 to the extent he received a tax benefit from deducting medical expenses in 2015. If he itemized in 2016 there will not be an impact on the treatment of the reimbursement.

MrRa [10]

Answer:

Multiple regression

Explanation:

With regards to the above, multiple regression can be used to determine one educational background, interest and gender so as to see if there is a variation in terms of individual's annual income as it relates to their educational background.

Multiple regression basically is a mathematical model, which is used when one value is matched with two or more variables.

Riley says that the present value of $700 one year from today if the interest rate is 6 percent isless than the present value of
devlian [24]

Answer:

A) Both Riley and Anh are correct.

Explanation:

to see who is right we can calculate:

PV = FV / (1 + r)ⁿ

FV = PV x (1 + r)ⁿ

Riley's statement:

PV = $700 / (1 + 6%) = $660.38

PV = $700 / (1 + 3%)² = $659.82

Riley is right

Anh's statement:

FV = $700 x (1 + 6%) = $742

FV = $700 x (1 + 3%)² = $742.63

Anh is right

They are both right due to compound interest, since compound interest means that the interest earned will also earn more interest.
