You need to get a lawyer and file a Motion with the court to determine your current arrearage and to get an accounting of all monies received. Don't just trust the State and what they say you owe. They are collecting interest on it, that is statutory in nearly every state.

a debenture is basically an unsecured bond. If a company raises money through debentures then the liabilities of the company are increased. There is no direct impact to the shareholders if it is a widely held public company. If the company was a partnership though and only two people held the stock, their basis in the company would actually increase by the amount of debt they've taken out. But that's more along the lines of a tax question.

A form of securities that is really an unsecrued debt. An IOU to a company. If it is registered it has been reviewed and registered as a trading security by the SEC and state governments where it is traded.\n\nThis means the financials of the company issuing the debenture are on file and open to public view.

These other answers are wrong. A nation's debt is the accumulation of each year's deficit or surplus. It is money owed by the nation's government, not all its people. The national debt is owed by the nation to its people, its banks, other governments, people in other countries, etc. Thinks of government bonds. When you invest in a government bond you give money to the government in return for the government's promise to pay you back even more money later. So that is an example of the government being in debt to you.

Yes, this is normal -- but hardly desirable.  Over time the interest you pay per month declines and principal increases.  Try to get another loan with a lower rate to cover the balance.  If this is not feasible, pay as much as you can to reduce the interest you will pay over the life of the loan.  See debt reduction calculators to find out how much you can save.  Clearly, you are getting hit hard by interest!

Long term debt implies a bond. It is not difficult to value a bond...you'll need the terms of the repayment. (Amount outstanding, nominal interest rate, payment frequency, maturity, rating, etc) and you'll be able (or someone else will) to fairly value the long term debt.

Traunches of debt refer to payback periods of principal. They do this to attract more investors, some might want to get paid back quickly and other might want to hold the investment longer, because all the traunches recieve interest, but once pricipal is paid back they nolonger get interest. So it's all about the length of investment investors are looking for.

False.  Leverage means debt.  Debt means ability to generate payments.  If sales are cyclical, there will be some periods where income can easily service payments, but there will also be periods where it will be tough, which leads to the downfall of a business.

Could you please rephrase.  I don't understand "interest rates are being charged for money that is not there for the child support payments that are being issued out to the custodial parents."\n\nAre you saying that if someone doesn't pay the child support, then he is charged interest?  If that is what you are saying, then please explain why that is bad.

Interest refers solely to the payments received for use of money. That is, the amount of the investment * the interest rate.\n\nOperation of capital is found by subtracting all costs associated with the investment (transaction fees, associated accounting costs, etc) from the interest payments.  Operation of capital is a much more real-world measure of how the investments are paying off.

Yes, it will be considered a debt.  And on a full documentation loan, you may need to trace the source of any downpayment funds back a month or two (exactly for this reason, for the lender to ensure that the downpayment isn't borrowed, thereby raising your monthly debt).

You need to file an ammended return.  If you don't then they can come after you later and get interest and penalties assessed against you.  It's better to take care of it in the short term than in the long term.  The interest on what you owe will be astronomical if you don't do it now.

Compounding when interest builds on something. If interest is charged or paid monthly then the interest compounds monthly.\n\nAnnual % rate is the rate per year. In the example of having a certificate of deposit at a bank, it is the amount that the bank gives you if you were to get paid interest once a year. Generally that number is divided by 12 and paid monthly.\n\nAnnual % yeild is the annual % rate you get when you include the interest that you earn on your interest.
