    Given:

    Commission income = $180,000

    Medical insurance = $10,000

    Salary expense = $40,000

    Medical insurance premium paid for himself = $7,000

    Office rental expense = $30,000

    Medical expenses paid for himself = 5,000

    Computation of business income:

    Business income = Total revenue - Total expenses

    Business income = $180,000 - ($10,000 - $40,000 - $30,000)

    Business income = $180,000 - $80,000

    Business income = $100,000

    Note: Self-incurred expenses are not included in business expenses.

    Computation of AGI:

    AGI = Business income - Deduction from schedule c

    AGI = $100,000 - Medical insurance premium paid for himself

    AGI = $100,000 - $7,000

    AGI = $93,000

    Therefore, option "B" is the correct answer to the following question.
