Kaylyn Zamora · Answer 1

e. None of these.

Explanation:

John's expenses on the trip;

Air fare = $3,200

Lodging = $900

Meals = $800

Entertainment = $600

Of all the expenses incurred by John, only the expense on entertainment is a non-deductible expense. A such,

Total deductible expense = $3,200 + $900 + $800

= $4,900

Hence, the right option is e. None of these.
