Bill is the owner of a house with two identical apartments. He resides in one apartment and rents the other apartment to a tenant. The tenant made timely monthly rental payments of $550 per month for the months of January through December 2018. The following expenses were incurred on the entire building:

Utilities $3, 600
Maintenance and repairs $900
Insurance $500

In addition, depreciation allocable to the rented apartment is $1, 500.What amount should Bill report as net rental income for 2015?

A. $100
B. $2, 600
C. $0
D. $1, 400
E. None of these choices are correct.

B. $2,600

Explanation:

The computation of the net rental income is shown below:

= Monthly rental payments × total number of months in a year - (utilities + maintenance & repairs  + insurance) × percentage - depreciation expense

= $550 × 12 months - ($3,600 + $900 + $500) × 50% - $1,500

= $6,600 - $2,500 - $1,500

= $2,600

Since only one apartment is on rent so we considered the expenses of the building at 50% not full value and the same is applied above

correct, but each time you dont pay the price of the penalty can increase.

employers prefer to hire ingenious, resourceful people because ingenious people may be more liable to engage in unethical deportment as they can cerebrate outside of the box
