Answer:

the last part of the question is missing, so I looked for it:

a. Randy received $2,200 of interest this year and no other investment income or expenses. His AGI is $75,000.

b. Randy had no investment income this year, and his AGI is $75,000.

a) Randy can deduct $31,575:

  • the mortgage interest is deductible
  • the car loan interest is not deductible
  • he can deduct $4,725 - $2,200 = $2,525 as investment interest expense

b) Randy can deduct $29,050

  • the mortgage interest is deductible
  • the car loan interest is not deductible
  • since he had no investment revenue, he cannot deduct any investment interest expense

In each of the following scenarios, explain and categorize the cost of inflation.a) Because inflation has risen, the J.Crew clot
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Consider the following explanation

Explanation:

a) J. Crew is issuing its catalogs monthly in response to inflation. This will incur cost and it is known as 'Menu Cost'.

b) Grandpa has bought annuity which has promised $10,000 a year for the rest of his life. However, higher than expected inflation means grandpa has lesser purchasing power. This is loss of purchasing power and also 'redistribution cost'. In higher inflation borrower tends to get benefit. Here insurance company is at the gain.

c) Maria is witnessing loss of purchasing power because of hyper inflation. In such scenario, cost keeps rising and product's price could be higher a few hours later. This was witnessed in Germany as well as in Zimbabwe. People run to the stores as soon as they get cash or salary. It is known as 'shoe leather cost'. People make frequent trips to banks or stores but do not keep cash in fear of losing value.

d) Gita actually earned only 5% on her portfolio but as her income is in taxable bracket so she has to pay 20% tax. Her income from portfolio not even compensated inflation. This is a redistribution cost and also known as fiscal drag. More people fall into bracket because higher nominal income but real income is neglected which makes people worse off.

e) Father thinks that son is earning far more than him but inflation over the period of time erodes purchasing power and it could be possible that current income might be lower, same or higher comparing to inflation data. However, if it is lower then it is obviously loss of purchasing power.

All of the following costs are likely to decrease as a result of better quality except:
swat32

Answer:

The correct answer is (d)

Explanation:

Better quality can help to reduce many costs such as customer’s dissatisfaction cost, inspection cost and warrant and service cost. When customers don't like the quality of the product they are likely to buy the same product from somewhere else that is the dissatisfaction cost. Still, maintenance cost is likely to incur no matter how good the quality is. Maintenance cost helps to keep the product clean and fresh for long-term use.
