Answer:

(C) $72,000

Explanation:

The deduction for investment interest is limited to the amount of net investment income reported.

If Ramon elects to treat the net capital gain as investment income for purposes of computing the investment interest expense limitation, the deduction will be $72,000 ($34,500 interest + $37,500 net capital gain). If Ramon elects to include the capital gains as investment income, his $37,500 net capital gain will not qualify for beneficial alternative tax rate treatment.

Therefore, he must decide between the tax benefit of an additional deduction of $37,500 versus the benefit of the reduced tax rates applicable to net capital gain.

arsen [322]

The input is the raw material, labor, the efforts that is used in making the product while the output is the product or the result arising from the input

The profit arises when output and the input varies from each other

i.e

Profit = Output - input

In the case where there is neither an input nor output fixed, so we have to maximize the profit i.e (output - input) but the condition is that they are different from each other

Hence, the correct option is D.
