trapecia [35]
I think the correct value to fill in the blank would be 6 inches.

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

$500;$810

Explanation:

Based on the information given we were told that he painted his office and replaced the door at a cost of the amount of $500 which means that Travis has the amount of $500 in deductible direct expenses

Calculation for deductible indirect expenses.

First step is to calculate the utilities

Utilities= $3,000 x (240/2,400)

Utilities= $3,000 x 10%

Utilities= $300

Second step is to calculate the property taxes

Property taxes= $1,500 x 10%

Property taxes= $150

Third step is to calculate the mortgage interest

Mortgage interest= $3,600 x 10%

Mortgage interest= $360

Now let calculate the deductible indirect expenses.

Deductible indirect expenses=$300+$150+$360

Deductible indirect expenses=$810

Therefore Travis has $500 in deductible direct expenses and $810 in deductible indirect expenses.
