Patricia purchased a home on January 1, 2017 for $1,420,000 by making a down payment of $100,000 and financing the remaining $1,320,000 with a 30-year loan, secured by the residence, at 6 percent. During year 2017 and 2018, Patricia made interest-only payments on the loan of $79,200. What amount of the $79,200 interest expense Patricia paid during 2018 may she deduct as an itemized deduction

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

Only $60,000 of the $79,200 may be deducted.

Crane Sporting Goods expects to have earnings per share of $6 in the coming year. Rather than reinvest these earnings and grow, the firm plans to pay out all of its earnings as a dividend. With these expectations of no growth, Crane's current share price is $60 and the cost of equity capital is 10%. Suppose Crane could cut its divident payout rate to 75% for the foreseeable future and use the retained earnings to open new stores. The return on investment in these stores is expected to be 12%. if we assume that the risk of these new investments is the same as the risk of its existing investments, then the firm's equity cost of capital is unchanged. What effect would this new policy have on Crane's stock price
