Lincoln · Answer 1

The expenses that Ryan can deduct for the business trips he had is calculated by summing up the expenses he had with regards to gasoline and the depreciation.

Cost of gasoline = (3,760 miles) ($1,590/18,800 miles) = $318

Cost of depreciation = $4,800

Adding the costs will give us an answer of $5118.

Answer: $5,118
