Christopher regularly invests in internet company stocks, hoping to become wealthy by making an early investment in the next high-tech phenomenon.

Maude worked as a Software Developer for Microsoft for 3 internships. She was just hired full-time after graduating from Concordia in December 2022. On her first day of work on January 1, 2023, she was offered to participate in the company’s retirement plan which is a Defined Contribution Pension Plan (DCPP). After having taken a Personal Finance course, Maude enrolled immediately on her first day, as she knows the benefit of putting money away early and having it grow even though she is a long way from retirement. Whatever Maude contributes, Microsoft doubles her contributions dollar for dollar. So far the plan averages a return of 7% compounded weekly. Both Maude and her employer contribute at the beginning of each month. Maude is only 24 years old with plans to retire early at age 55. Maude can afford to contribute $300/month. How much will she have in her retirement plan at retirement?.

Joseph Jones, a manager at Computer Science, Inc. (CSI), received 10,000 shares of company stock as part of his compensation package. The stock currently sells at $40 a share. Joseph would like to defer selling the stock until the next tax year. In January, however, he will need to sell all his holdings to provide for a down payment on his new house.

George recently received a great stock tip from his friend, Mason. George didn't have any cash on hand to invest, so he decided to take out a $44,000 loan to facilitate the stock acquisition. The loan terms are 8 percent interest with interest-only payments due each year for five years. At the end of the five-year period, the entire loan principal is due. When George closed on the loan on April 1, 2023, he decided to invest $39,600 in stock and to use the remaining $4,400 to purchase a four-wheel recreation vehicle. George is unsure how he will treat the interest paid on the $44,000 loan. In 2023, George paid $2,640 interest expense on the loan. What amount may he deduct as interest in 2023?
