Answer and Explanation:
As we know that the credit amount should be allowed a qualified deduction of 100% till $2,000 and the next 25% is $2,000
In the given situation, the credit amount would be
= $1,600 × 100%
= $1,600
As the AGI is $175,000 i.e. exceeded the prescribed amount i.e. $160,000 so it would be phased out till $180,000
So, after considering the phase out application limits, the credit is
= $1,600 × ($180,000 - $175,000) ÷ ($180,000 - $160,000)
= $400
So, the total credit is $400 out of which $160 is refundable and the remaining balance i.e. $240 would be non-refundable
Answer:
c. seller receives cash sooner than if credit is granted directly to the customers
d. may allow seller to increase sales volume
Explanation:
When a customer uses a credit card, the bank that issued the card pays the seller immediately, and later, the bank recovers the money plus interest from the customer.
So this method allows for a faster collection of cash (basically immediatly) than if the seller granted the credit directly to the customer.
Credit cards also allow seller to increase sales volume because many people lack the cash necessary to pay down the full value of the purchase.

Answer:
(2) 4%
Explanation:
The portfolio is considered to be less risky if its volatility is low. The higher standard deviation the more risky is the project. For Duke Energy and Microsoft the investment portfolio required is risk free investment. To calculate the risk free rate we calculate using the formula;
Var Rp = x1 2Var R1 + x2 2Var R2 +2 x1 x2 Corr (R1, R2) SD1 SD2
Var Rp = 0.14 + 0.44 + 2 (1) * (-1) * 6% * 24%
Solving for this we get the risk free investment at 4%.
