Answer: Before considering any limitations on deduction, Jayden can include $16000 of the medical expenses and also $6000 of casualty loss when the itemized deduction in 2019 is determined.

Explanation:

When taxes are filed, the person filing the tax can either choose to itemize their deductions or take the standard deduction.

While the standard deduction is already known, the itemized deductions is being calculated. Itemized deductions are made from medical expenses, donations, mortgage interest etc. and are usually preferred by those that have high incomes.

Before considering any limitations on these deductions, it should be noted that Jayden can include $16,000 which is the medical expenses given in the question and a casualty loss of ($20000 - $14000) = $6000 in determining his itemized deductions for 2019?

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

If a demand curve is linear and downward sloping, different points on the line can show different values of slope. The value of slope will be equal to the ratio of change in price to change in quantity demanded. The value of slope will be the same throughout the line.

The price elasticity is the ratio of change in quantity to change in price. The price elasticity can be different for different points on the demand curve.

The points on the lower parts are more inelastic while the points on the upper portion are more elastic. The midpoint represents unit price elasticity.

Since the upper portion is more price elastic, an increase in price will cause a more than proportionate decrease in the quantity demanded. This will cause the total revenue to decrease.

For each of the following products, indicate whether you believe demand will be relatively price elastic or relatively price ine
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Note that goods that are considered in general have a broad demand and goods with broad demand are inelastic as there are no substitutes for them. Goods that are specific by nature have narrow demand and have elastic demand because consumers can switch to others if the price is increased slightly.

Hence, Mayonnaise in general, Washing machines and beer have inelastic demand as there are no close substitutes. The remaining three, namely, specific brand of mayonnaise, Chevrolet automobiles and Tesla automobiles have elastic demand as there are substitutes and consumers/users will switch to others if the price is no more favorable.
