Respuesta :

Answer:

d. Freddy must recognize $300 (.03 × $20,000 × .5) gross income in 2017

Explanation:

The computation of the gross income is shown below:

= Certificate deposit × interest rate × (one year ÷ two year)

= $20,000 × 3% × (1 year ÷ 2 year)

= $300

We simply apply the simple interest formula so that we get to know how much gross income would be recognized.

Hence, all other options are wrong except d.
