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.

How and why do economic actors analyze opportunity costs to determine which goods or services they should specialize in?
vovikov84 [41]

A model used to illustrate the trade-offs related to splitting resources between the production of two items is called the Production Possibilities Curve (PPC).

<h3>How do economic actors calculate costs to specialize products?</h3>

The PPC is a useful tool for demonstrating the ideas of scarcity, opportunity cost, efficiency, and economic development and contraction.

Exchange possibilities that lead to consumption opportunities outside of the PPC are the consequence of production specialization based on comparative advantage rather than an absolute advantage.

In contrast to what would have been achievable domestically, trade between two agents or countries enables the countries to enjoy a higher overall output and level of consumption.

<h3 />

PPCs can be used to decide who should specialize in a certain good as well as opportunity costs and comparative advantages.

A nation or individual will be able to consume at a point beyond its PPC through specialization and commerce, assuming the terms of trade are advantageous (for example, offering each agent a cheaper opportunity cost than could be accomplished without trade).

Suppose that the price of corn is above its equilibrium price. You would expect to see:________.
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

If the price of corn is above its equilibrium price, corn becomes more expensive to consumers. As a result, they reduce the quantity demanded of corn. there would be a movement along the demand curve for corn and not a shift of the demand curve.

Quantity supplied would also increase as a result of the high price. The fall in quantity demanded coupled with the rise in quantity supplied would lead to a surplus. Due to the surplus, sellers would reduce price until price falls to equilibrium price
