Answer: $60,000

Explanation:

The maximum amount deductible is based on a mortgage of $1,000,000 and the interest rate of the mortgage being paid.

Interest on $1,000,000 at 6% is:

= 6% * 1,000,000

= $60,000

<em />

<em>Only $60,000 of the $79,200 may be deducted. </em>

A mortgage broker advertises a 30-year fixed-rate loan at a 2.00% rate. After the borrower arrives at the office and begins an a
Contact [7]

Answer:

Truth in Lending Act (TILA)

Explanation:

Mortgage brokering can be defined as a process which typically involves a mortgage broker acting as an intermediary between a financial institution (mortgage bank) offering loans and an individual that seeks to collect a loan.

This ultimately implies that, a mortgage broker acts as an intermediary (middleman) by connecting a creditor (lender) to those seeking to get a loan (borrower).

The Truth in Lending Act (TILA) also known as Consumer Credit Protection Act (CCPA) is a federal law of the United States of America that was enacted by the 89th US Congress and signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson on the 29th of May, 1968.

The main purpose of this federal law (Act) is to protect the consumer while using credit by mandating businesses to provide a full disclosure of the terms and conditions with respect to the credit.

According to the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), businesses are required to explain all collection fees, finance charges, late charges and interest charges up front before the time of service or application process commence.

In this scenario, a mortgage broker advertised a 30-year fixed-rate loan with an interest rate of 2.00%.

However, when the borrower arrived at the office of the mortgage broker and begins an application, the broker then went ahead to explain that the 2.00% interest rate is no longer available because his office was only able to do a limited number of them.

Thus, this broker is in violation of Truth in Lending Act (TILA).

Your friend Burrell says that the government should hire fewer social workers in order to reduce the cost of federal assistance
BARSIC [14]

Answer: b) peoples' responses to financial incentives.

Explanation:

Burrell would be wrong because the most leakage in federal assistance programs comes from the way people respond to financial incentives.

Some people who have received this assistance from the Federal government have decided that it would be better to keep receiving this assistance instead of working to actually get paid.

This has led to more people seeking assistance thereby increasing the number of people needing assistance and invariably increasing the cost of these federal assistance programs.
