answered: Tirone

Explanation:

a. Computation of Rita’s home office deduction for the current year:

Actual expenses method, Rita is allowed to deduct all the expenses and the total deductions are =6,700+800+1,600 = $9,100.

Simplified method:

Rita’s home office deduction will be limited to =300square feet × $5 application rate= $1,500.

However, she can deduct expenses relating to interest and taxes = $6,700 as itemized deductions.

Thus, the total deductions = $1,500+ $6,700 = $8,200.

Take a look to the document attached.

b. Computation of Rita’s home office deduction for the current year if Gross income is $10,000:

Actual expenses method, Rita is allowed only mortgage interest and taxes and all other expenses relating to tire 2 and 3 are carried forward to next year.

Take a look to the document attached.

Simplified method:

Rita’s home office deduction will be limited to =300square feet × $5 application rate= $1,500.

However, she can deduct expenses relating to interest and taxes = $6,700 as itemized deductions.

Thus, the total deductions = $1,500+ $6,700 = $8,200.

c. Rita's AGI = Sole proprietorship income + income from business

= $60,000 + 300 = $60,300

d. Based on the above calculations Rita can deduct all the expenses in this year itself, thus she does not carry any expenses to next year.

u = 30

continuing your method

$\frac{1}{10}$ = $\frac{1}{u}$ + $\frac{1}{15}$

subtract $\frac{1}{15}$ from both sides

$\frac{1}{u}$ = $\frac{1}{10}$ - $\frac{1}{15}$ thus

$\frac{1}{u}$ = $\frac{3}{30}$ - $\frac{2}{30}$

$\frac{1}{u}$ = $\frac{1}{30}$ ⇒ u = 30

In the 10th grade, i was teamed up in a group of four. our project was on modern history. altho it seemed super hard for many of us. patrick fleming took charge and showed us the understanding of this project. his leadership showed great ethics and it taught me, personally, how to others understand, not just to show them, but explain it thoroughly. and altho he was a great teacher i would have changed a few things. one being his attitude. many times he would get frustrated and impatient with the group. i think a leader i would have done exactly what he did but with much more patience and be there more to explain. such as lunch learning. and giving everybody a chance to try to explain it in their head.
