QUESTION 5 [7 marks] Mouna established an RRSP in 2013. As of January 1, 2019, Mouna had no unused deduction room and no undeducted contributions. Her 2018 earned income was sufficient for her to make the maximum 2019 contribution of $26,500. However, as she acquired a new home during 2019, she made no contributions to her RRSP that year. With the new home and furnishing purchases behind her and the receipt of a sizable inheritance from her father's estate, she has sufficient funds to maximize her contribution in 2020. She would like you to advise her as to the maximum contribution that she can make in 2020. Her 2019 earned income was $185,000. Her 2019 net income was $240,000. Mouna's spouse Bob had 2019 earned income and net income of $30,000. Bob will likely have less income than Mouna in their retirement. The RRSP dollar limits are $26,500 for 2019 and $27,230 for 2020. -REQUIRED A) Calculate the maximum 2020 RRSP contribution that Mouna can make. Show your work.

During the year, $6,000 was spent on landscaping for its new facilities. For accounting purposes this was capitalized as an asset. The Company believes the work has an unlimited life and has decided not to amortize this balance. 2. The Company incurred legal costs to make amendments to its articles of incorporation in 2020. These legal costs totalling $9,500 were included in Other Expenses. 3. On January 1, 2020, the Company has UCC balances for its tangible assets as follows: Class 1 (4% CCA rate) Class 14.1 (5% CCA rate) $450,000 Nil The Class 1 balance relates to a single building acquired in 2006 at a cost of $600,000 including the surrounding land. The value and cost of the land at the time of acquisition was $50,000. On February 10, 2020, this building and the land are sold for a total of $662,000. The value of the land is unchanged at $50,000. In the accounting records, this real property was carried at $557,000, $507,000 for the building and $50,000 for the land. The resulting gain on the building is included in the accounting revenues. The old building is replaced on February 15, 2020 with a new building acquired at a cost of $733,000 of which $60,000 is allocated to land. The Company chose not to put the new building into a separate Class 1 so it does not qualify for the 6 percent CCA rate. No elections are made with respect to the replacement of the building. 4. The Company was late on paying some income tax instalments as well as some municipal tax payments, resulting in interest being incurred in the amounts of $540 and $320, respectively.
