Lars Osberg, a single taxpayer with a 35 percent marginal tax rate, desires health insurance. Volvo, his employer, has a 21 percent marginal tax rate. The health insurance will cost Lars $8,500 to purchase if he pays for it himself through the health exchange (Lars’s AGI is too high to receive any tax deduction for the insurance as a medical expense). Answer the following questions about this benefit. (Do not round intermediate computations. Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.) Assume that Volvo could purchase the insurance for $5,000. Lars is interested in getting health insurance, and he is willing to receive a lower salary in exchange for the health insurance. What is the least amount by which Volvo would be willing to reduce Lars’s salary while agreeing to pay his health insurance?
Paolo and Sharon Ferrari have completed Step 1 of their needs analysis worksheet and determined that they need $3,522,000 to maintain the projected lifestyle of Sharon (age 38) and their two children (ages 8 and 10) in the event of Paolo's (the primary earner's) death. The Ferraris also have certain financial resources available after Paolo's death, however, so their life insurance needs are lower than this amount. If Paolo dies, Sharon will be eligible to receive Social Security survivors' benefits-approximately $3,800 a month ($45,600 a year) until the youngest child graduates from high school in 10 years. After the children leave home, Sharon will be able to work full-time and earn an estimated $38,000 a year (after taxes) until she retires at age 65. After Sharon turns 65, she'll receive approximately $3,200 a month ($38,400 a year) from her own Social Security and retirement benefits. The life expectancy for a woman within Sharon's demographic is 87. The couple has also saved…

Exactly who can be a “qualifying relative” and who can’t…??? Say, for example, that you are unmarried but have a “friend” who lives with you full-time / all year. It’s just the two of you (and maybe a quadruped or two). The apartment (or house) is in your name only and you pay all of the rent (or mort-gage) and for absolutely everything else because your friend is a “writer” who does nothing by way of work other than on a supposed novel – which of course brings in absolutely zero income because it never seems to get finished, much less published… Since you’re the sole breadwinner and it’s your apartment (or house), can you file as “Head of household” instead of as “Single”? Explain in 2-3 sentences.
