Answer:
The amount of these costs Crimson may deduct is $1,400.
Explanation:
The amount of these costs Crimson may deduct can be calculated as follows:
Costs of refreshments served during the event = $820
Higher of the cost of nonluxury box seat at Memorial = $180
Number of people the box can seat = 11
Costs of the seat = Higher of the cost of nonluxury box seat at Memorial * Number of people the box can seat = $180 * 11 = $1,980
Total cost of entertainment = Costs of refreshments served during the event + Costs of the seat = $820 + $1,980 = $2,800
50% of the total cost of entertainment = $2,800 * 50% = $1,400
Allowable deduction = Total cost of entertainment - Elimination of 50% of the total cost of entertainment = $2,800 - $1,400 = $1,400
Therefore, the amount of these costs Crimson may deduct is $1,400.
