Answer:

$1058

Explanation:

The computation of expense deduction is shown below:-

Airfare to and from San Diego                $478

Add: Hotel charges while on business               $340

Add: Meals while on business (50% × $260)    $130

Add: Car rental while on business                      $110

Add: Joan's travel expense deduction               $1058

Here Actual rental on business $110 or as per standard mile rate, so nothing is mentioned for mile rate or using mile. so we consider actual used $110
