Homework Answers
Randy can deduct $33,050 i.e. (30,250 + 2800)
The interest on the car loan is non-deductible personal interest. However, he can deduct all $30,250 of his interest on the home loan as an itemized deduction.
The interest margin of $5,325 is assumed to be investment interest and this itemized deduction is limited to net investment income.
The amount of $2,800 of interest income qualifies as investment income and since, Randy has no other investment expenses, the investment interest expense would be limited to his $2,800 in net investment income.
