    The total amount that Oleander is allowed to deduct using subsection 195 that deals with the start-up expenditures. The amount that qualifies for the computation of tax deductible expenses are those that have been incurred as a startup expenditure.

    Furthermore it must be lower of:

    (i) the amount of start-up expenditures amortized using the months in the tax year that covers this expenditure (numerator) and using 180 month period (denominator).

    (ii) $5,000

    Explanation:

    So the amount allowable for the expenses is lower of:

    $64,000 * 10 months / 180 months = $3556 $5000

    So the answer is $3556
