Clem is married and is a skilled carpenter. Clem's wife, Wanda, works part time as a substitute grade school teacher. Determine

the amount of Clem's expenses that are deductible for AGI this year (if any) under the following independent circumstances:
a. Clem is self-employed and this year he incurred $1,005 for tools and supplies related to his job. Since neither were covered by a qualified health plan, Wanda paid health insurance premiums of $4,570 to provide coverage for herself and Clem (not through an exchange).
b. Clem and Wanda own a garage downtown that they rent to a local business for storage. This year they incurred $1,750 in utilities and depreciation of $1,225.
c. Clem paid self-employment tax of $15,200 (the employer portion is $7,600), and Wanda had $5,700 of Social Security taxes withheld from her pay.
d. Clem paid $131 to rent a safe deposit box to store his coin collection. Clem has collected coins intermittently since he was a boy, and he expects to sell his collection when he retires.

Answer:

a) Clem can deduct the $1,005 that he spent on tools and supplies. If they file their taxes jointly, they can also deduct the $4,570 spent on health insurance.

b) Both utilities and depreciation are deductible from their rental income = $1,750 + $1,225 = $2,975

c) The employer portion of self-employment taxes is deductible = $7,600. Wanda's social security payments are not deductible.

d) This a personal expense and it is not deductible.

What type of stores rely on their large size and very deep selection to try to dominate the market?
andrew-mc [135]
Power retailers are the stores that rely on their large size and very deep selection to try to dominate the market. 
Specialty stores are small, so you can eliminate that option immediately. Department stores are usually found within another store, so that's not correct too. Discounters don't have a very deep selection, they usually sell a lot of various things. Anchor stores are found within malls, so that's incorrect too.

Luden [163]

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

After graduation in 2 years, Antwone would like to take a much needed vacation to the Caribbean Islands. He anticipates that the
Arisa [49]

Answer: $3,580.30 (converted to 2decimal places).

Antwone need to deposit " $3,580.30008” into the account each semi-annual period in order to take his vacation in 2 years

Explanation:

By using compound interest formula below to solve the question

A = p ( 1 + r/n)^nt

A = amount (future value)= $3,800

P = principal (present value) ?

r = annual nominal rate = 3%= 0.03

n = today number of compounding years = semiannually (2 interest payments period in a year) = 2

t = time in years =2

3,800 = p ( 1 + 0.03/2)^2(2)

3,800 = p ( 1 + 0.015 )^4

3,800 = p ( 1.015 ) ^4

3,800 = 1.06136355 p

divide both sides by 1.06136355

p = 3,800 / 1.06136355

p = $3,580.30008

≈$3,580.30 ( rounded off to 2d.p)

Explain why supply and price are positively related
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

A positive correlation signifies that an increase in one variable results in the other variable moving in the same direction. Because supply and price are positively correlated, a price increase will increases supply. The opposite is also true.

Suppliers are business people whose main objective is to make profits. Higher prices give higher margins. Suppliers make higher profits when prices are high. The possibility of making higher profits motivates suppliers to increase supplies to the market. On the other hand, low prices may result in losses. When prices are low, supplies will shy away from the market to avoid making losses.
