d.	$2,200.
e.	$3,700.

Answer 1

Solution :-

Given data ,

Transportation = $900

Lodging = $1,100

Meals =  $300

Charitable contribution = $2,100

Jayne normally makes $700 per week as a carpenter’s assistant .

Period = 3 weeks

Here we need to find out the Jayne’s deduction associated with this charitable activity .

Jayne’s deduction associated with this charitable activity = [$900 + $1,100 + $300 + $2,100 ] - [ $700 * 3 ]

= $4,400 - 2,100

= $2,300

Jayne’s deduction associated with this charitable activity = $2,300

The correct answer is Option ( c ) .$2,300
