Explanation:
With regards to the above, since the restaurant was not acquired, the cost that is related to acquisition of restaurant will be ignored. It means that the $35,750 will not qualify for deduction.
Also, the expenses for considering the bakery $53,700 will not be allowed all at once.
Now, for any amount exceeding $50,000 there will be a reduction of $5,000
Reduced = $53,700 - $50,000 = $3,700
Then,
$5,000 - $3,700 = $1,300 deductions
Now,
$53,700 - $1,300 = $52,400 which is the deduction allowed in 180 months
Deduction per month = $52,400 / 180 = $291.11. Per month
Deduction for 2 months will be = 2 × $291.11 = $582.22
Therefore, eligible deduction = $582.22 + $1,300 = $1,882.22
