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

Explain why to maximize profits a firm needs to produce an output at a level where marginal revenue
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Rest of question:

... equals marginal cost.

Firms will maximize profits at the point where marginal revenue equals marginal cost because producing after this point means that no profits will be made.

As long as the Marginal revenue exceeds marginal cost, there will be profits made because the company is making more than it is spending so they should keep producing. When it gets to a point in production where the marginal revenue equals marginal cost, the company should not produce further than that.

This is because, as earlier mentioned, any further production would result in the marginal cost being larger than the marginal revenue which means that a loss will be made. The company should therefore stop at the point where MR = MC so as not to let MC get larger than MR so that no losses will be made.

Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge wine consumers a tax. Before the tax, 25 million bottles of wine were sold ev
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that before the tax, 25 million wine bottles were sold at price of $6 per bottle and that after the tax, 20 million bottles of wine are sold every month and the consumers pay $8 per bottle which include the tax and producers receive $5 per bottle.

The amount of tax on wine will be the difference between the price consumers pay after the tax and the price producers receive. This will be:

= $8 - $5

= $3 per bottle

The tax burden that falls on the consumers will be difference between price paid after tax and the price which is paid before the tax.

= $8 - $6

= $2 per bottle

The tax burden on the producers will be difference between price received before the tax and price received after the tax.

= $6 - $5

= $1 per bottle
