Answer:
$3,544
Explanation:
The maximum immediate expenses amount of $5000 phases out for dollar if more than $50,000 of start-up cost are incurred. Thus, the immediate expensing is $3,000
($5000 - ($52,000 - $50,000))
∴ ($5000 - ($2000) = $3000
The amortization is $544
($49,000/180) × 2 months
= $544
The total amount she may deduct = $3000 + $544 = $3544.
