Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

This year Randy paid $28,900 of interest on his residence. (Randy borrowed $462,000 to buy his residence, and it is currently worth $512,000.) Randy also paid $2,800 of interest on his car loan and $4,650 of margin interest to his stockbroker (investment interest expense). How much of this interest expense can Randy deduct as an itemized deduction under the following circumstances?

a. Randy received $2,200 of interest this year and no other investment income or expenses. His AGI is $75,000.

Interest Deductible $

b. Randy had no investment income this year, and his AGI is $75,000.

Interest Deducttible $

The explanation of the anwer is now given as follows:

a. Randy received $2,200 of interest this year and no other investment income or expenses. His AGI is $75,000.

Randy may choose to deduct the interest of $28,900 on his residence as an itemized deduction.

The $2,800 of interest on his car loan is a nondeductible personal interest.

The $2,200 interest income received can be regarded as an investment income.

The $4,500 margin interest to his stockbroke is likely investment interest. But since Randy has only $2,200 interest income, his deduction is limited to the $2,200.

Therefore, we have:

Interest Deductible = Interest on his residence + $2,200 = $28,900 + $2,200 = $31,100

b. Randy had no investment income this year, and his AGI is $75,000.

Since there is no investment income, Randy can only dedcut the interest of $28,900 on his residence based on the explanation in part a above.

Therefore, we have:

Interest Deductible = $28,900
