John's deductible rental loss is $3200

Explanation:

Given data

to find out

rental loss

solution

we know here proportion rental expenses are for 36 days and 14 day used house of total expenses

total expenses are = mortgage interest+ property taxes +utilities and maintenance +depreciation

total expenses = 5000 + 600 + 900 + 3500

total expenses = $10000

proportion rental expenses = 10000 × 36 days / (365+14)

proportion rental expenses = $7200

so rental loss =  rental expenses - rental income

rental loss =  $7200 - $4000

rental loss = $3200

so John's deductible rental loss is $3200
