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

"when economists say that money promotes ________, they mean that money encourages specialization and the division of labor."
elena55 [62]
<span>Economists say that money promotes efficiency. In this sense economists are arguing that money encourages specialization/division of labor. This makes sense in terms of people having the desire to earn more money. With money comes many valuable aspects of life. In order to make more money, individuals are encouraged to find and develop job security, which can be attained through specializations.</span>

zysi [14]

Answer:

Demand for good x could be higher in year 2 than year 1

Income may have been higher in year 2 than year 1

Explanation:

In the given scenario there was an average price of product as $10. To calculate average cost it is total sales revenue divided by number of units sold.

In year 2 the average price is $23. This means that for each unit sold in year 2 the price was $23 an increase of $13 from year 1.

For this to have happened first there could have been higher income of the consumer in year 2 and they will have more to spend on the product at a higher price.

There will also need to be an increase in the demand for the good this will increase units sold and also price will go up.
