    Answer: The following assumptions will be made as per the tax laws

    Explanation:

    1. As the expenditure made by blaze was to enquire about the business operation similar to his, therefore the expenditure is eligible for deduction.

    2. If Blaze would not be inquiring about a restaurant or would also not acquire it later. Then the expenditure would not be eligible for deduction.

    3. If Blaze would not have been in the restaurant business but eventually purchases the business he was inquiring about then he can claim $5000 expenses before and the $2000 deduction later.
