Answer 1

a)$67000

b) Calculating deductible amount of investigation expenses related to opening a restaurant

Of the $52,200, an amount of $800 [$5,000 - $4,200 (because for more than $50,000)] . The balance of ($54,200 - $800) =$51,400 will be amortized over a period of 180 months at the rate of $285.5555556 or 286 per month ($53,400 ÷ 180)

= $800 + $286*8 months

= $800 + 2,288

=3,088
