Betty borrowed $200,000 at an interest rate of 10% p.a. from XYZ bank to purchase the goodwill, premises, equipment and stock of a cookware shop. As security for the loan, she was required to mortgage her holiday home.
Please discuss, with reference to case authority, whether the purchase of the goodwill, premises, equipment and stock would be deductible?
Roy decides to buy a personal residence and goes to the bank for a $150,000 loan. The bank tells him that he can borrow the funds at 4% if his father will guarantee the debt. Roy's father, Hal, owns a $150,000 CD currently yielding 3.5%. The Federal rate is 3%. Hal agrees to either of the following:
Roy borrows from the bank with Hal's guarantee to the bank.
Hal cashes in the CD (with no penalty) and lends Roy the funds at 2% interest.
Hal is in the 32% marginal tax bracket. Roy, whose only source of income is his salary, is in the 12% marginal tax bracket. The interest Roy pays on the mortgage will be deductible by him.

He traded in his old motorcycle for $8,000 at the same time, but Sheldon wanted to keep the two transactions separate for financial reasons and he promised to issue a bank draft to Alex for the trade-in. Sheldon assigned the $28,000 contract to SNL Finance. The first Alex knew of this was when he received copies of both contracts and an assignment notice to make the payments to SNL.

The cost of computer equipment will be amortized over the next three years with a disposable value of $1000.
