Principle amount = 84%

Interest = 16%

Benefits of the brent's company car are pay the 35600 miles during $ 32000 approx.

Answer 2

Answer:

$2,297.50

Explanation:

if we assume that the annual lease is the same as publication 15-b value, then Brent's fringe benefits are:

annual lease value x miles driven for personal reasons = $9,750 x 20% = $1,950

+

fuel = (34,750 miles x 20%) x $0.05 per mile = $347.50

total fringe benefits = $1,950 + $347.50 = $2,297.50
