The actual 1040 form filled out.

Tax Return Problem Lance H. and Wanda B. Dean are married and live at 431 Yucca Drive, Santa Fe, NM 87501. Lance works for the convention bureau of the local Chamber of Commerce, while Wanda is employed part-time as a paralegal for a law firm.

During 2016, the Deans had the following receipts:

Salaries ($60,000 for Lance, $41,000 for Wanda) $101,000
Interest income—
 City of Albuquerque general purpose bonds $1,000
 Ford Motor company bonds 1,100
 Ally Bank certificate of deposit 400 2,500
Child support payments from John Allen 7,200
Annual gifts from parents 26,000
Settlement from Roadrunner Touring Company 90,000
Lottery winnings 600
Federal income tax refund (for tax year 2015) 400

Wanda was previously married to John Allen. When they divorced several years ago, Wanda was awarded custody of their two children, Penny and Kyle. (Note: Wanda has never issued a Form 8332 waiver.) Under the divorce decree, John was obligated to pay alimony and child support—the alimony payments were to terminate if Wanda remarried.

In July, while going to lunch in downtown Santa Fe, Wanda was injured by a tour bus. As the driver was clearly at fault, the owner of the bus, Roadrunner Touring Company, paid her medical expenses (including a one-week stay in a hospital). To avoid a lawsuit, Roadrunner also transferred $90,000 to her in settlement of the personal injuries she sustained.

The Deans had the following expenditures for 2016:

Medical expenses (not covered by insurance) $7,200
Taxes—
 Property taxes on personal residence $3,600
 State of New Mexico income tax (includes amount withheld from wages during 2016) 4,200 7,800
Interest on home mortgage (First National Bank) 6,000
Paid church pledge 3,600
Life insurance premiums (policy on Lance's life) 1,200
Contribution to traditional IRA (on Wanda's behalf) 5,000
Traffic fines 300
Contribution to the reelection campaign fund of the mayor of Santa Fe 500
Funeral expenses for Wayne Boyle 6,300

The life insurance policy was taken out by Lance several years ago and designates Wanda as the beneficiary. As a part-time employee, Wanda is excluded from coverage under her employer's pension plan. Consequently, she provides for her own retirement with a traditional IRA obtained at a local trust company. Because the mayor is a member of the local Chamber of Commerce, Lance felt compelled to make the political contribution.

The Deans' household includes the following, for whom they provide more than half of the support:

Social Security Number Birth Date
Lance Dean (age 42) 123-45-6786 12/16/1974
Wanda Dean (age 40) 123-45-6787 08/08/1976
Penny Allen (age 19) 123-45-6788 10/09/1997
Kyle Allen (age 17) 123-45-6789 05/03/1999
Wayne Boyle (age 75) 123-45-6785 06/15/1941

Penny graduated from high school on May 9, 2016, and is undecided about college. During 2016, she earned $8,500 (placed in a savings account) playing a harp in the lobby of a local hotel. Wayne is Wanda's widower father who died on January 20, 2016. For the past few years, Wayne qualified as a dependent of the Deans.

Federal income tax withheld is $5,200 (Lance) and $3,100 (Wanda). The proper amount of Social Security and Medicare tax was withheld.

Determine the Federal income tax for 2016 for the Deans on a joint return by completing the appropriate forms. They do not want to contribute to the Presidential Election Campaign Fund. All members of the family had health care coverage for all of 2016. If an overpayment results, it is to be refunded to them. Suggested software: H&R BLOCK Tax Software.

3. In ion mobility spectrometer, the ions are accelerated under a constant electric field in a cylindrical tube and the time of flight of the ions in this tube is measured. The ions are detected by using a sensor at the end of the tube. a) What type of sensor can be used to detect the ions? b) The experiment is performed at high frequencies to be able to decrease the effect of the noise. What type of noises can be present in this experiment?c) During the experiment, many devices are used together. What type of grounding can be used for this experimental setup to be able to prevent floating grounds and crosstalks? d)

t(s) x 10^-6 ? (cm^2 x V^-1 x s^-1 )
8.5 1100.0
7.0 1350.0
5.0 1600.0
3.5 1850.0
2.0 2100.0

The mobility of the ions is given as ? = ? ? 1 ? , where l, E and t are the length of the tube, the electric field strength and the time of flight, respectively. The data given in the table belongs to a specific type of spectrometer. By plotting this data, find the required length of the tube for an electric field strength of 10^4 V/cm.

Population Attributable Risk (PAR) use formula for cohort =3%

Provide an answer for all of the shaded cells. Randomly sample 50% of cases from cohort study C and place them in the cells of Table 4 below. If the sample of cases (or controls) is random it will maintain the same ratio of exposed to unexposed among cases and non-cases that is present in cohort C. Next, determine how many controls will be required in table 4 in order to have 1 control for each case. There are two ways to sample the required number of controls from cohort C. First sample “controls 1” from all persons who entered the cohort (column 2 of Table 3), prior to knowledge of disease status. Then, sample “controls 2” from all persons who did not develop the disease during follow-up (Column 4 of Table 3). Although, it’s not realistic, retain two decimal places in the numbers of controls. As your samples of controls must also be random, they should also maintain the same ratio of exposed to unexposed that is present among potential controls in Cohort C. (Hint: When you are selecting your controls, the key wording in the question is "if the sample of cases (or controls) is random it will maintain the same ratio of exposed to unexposed among the cases and non-cases that is present in cohort C". This gives you the information to create the ratios required to sample your controls for both "Control 1" and "Control 2". When you are sampling those groups, make sure you maintain the same ratio of exposed and unexposed in your final Table 4 as what you observe in Table 3 for the column you are sampling from. )
