    a. The total home office deduction is $6,973.33

    b. Total Adjusted gross income is $43,026.67

    Explanation:

    A. To compute the total home office deduction, we must divide proportionately the related expenses of the house based on the area that the home office has occupied.

    Real property tax $3,600

    Interest on home mortgage 14,000

    Depreciation 12,000

    total $29,600 x 300 / 4,500 = 1,973.33

    So, 1,973.33 + 5,000 = $6,973.33

    *operating expenses is chargeable to the home office at whole amount because it was incurred by the business alone.

    *Repair to home theater is not chargeable to the home office because it is purely personal expense of the house.

    B. Adjusted Gross Income

    $50,000 - 6,973.33 = $43,026.67
