Answer: $5416.64

Explanation:

Based on the information given, $5000 will be deducted from its organizational cost of $17500, and we'll have $12500. Then, the capitalized cost over 6 months that's 180 days will be:

= Non deductible cost / 180 months

= $12500 / 180

= $69.44 per month

Since Ajax Inc began operation in July, the ammortization will be:

= $69.44 × 6 months

= $416.64

The amount that Ajax can deduct from its $17,500 organizational costs on its first tax return will be:

= $5000 + $416.64

= $5416.64
