Respuesta :

Given:

Commission income  = $180,000

Medical insurance =  $10,000

Salary expense  = $40,000

Medical insurance premium paid for himself  = $7,000

Office rental expense  = $30,000

Medical expenses paid for himself  = 5,000

Computation of business income:

Business income = Total revenue - Total expenses

Business income = $180,000 - ($10,000 - $40,000 - $30,000)

Business income = $180,000 - $80,000

Business income = $100,000

Note: Self-incurred expenses are not included in business expenses.

Computation of AGI:

AGI = Business income - Deduction from schedule c

AGI = $100,000 - Medical insurance premium paid for himself  

AGI = $100,000 - $7,000

AGI = $93,000

Therefore, option "B" is the correct answer to the following question.
