Jeremy Reynolds · Answer 1

The answer is: C) $3,500

Explanation:

According to the general rule section 117 (d) (1), tuition reductions are not included in the gross income. So the $5,000 tuition reduction will not be included in Graham's gross income.

Graham only has to record as income the $3,500 he will get to cover the costs of room and meals.
