Respuesta :

Answer:

A. $1,300 "for AGI.

Explanation:

The computation of the deductible amount is shown below:

= Air fare to repair investment rental property + 50% × (Meals + tickets to a football game with hospital administrators)

= $1,000 + 50% × ($500 + $100)

= $1,000 + $300

= $1,300

For meals and tickets, 50% deduction is applicable whereas for the air fair full deduction is applicable

And, for investment in seminar no deduction is allowed
