Tyke · Answer 1

Her total income recognizable is $90,400

Explanation:

The $55,800 received from her employer and $34,600 received from insurance proceeds are already earned and be recognized. However, $12,400 appreciation in her stock will not be recognized because this can only be earned and recognized only when the stocks are sold.

Hence, it is only $90,400 that will form Joanna's gross income.
