Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Norman can deduct expenses related to the business portion of his trip. He spent 2 days on business, so he can deduct 2/6 of the plane fare ($500 * 2/6 = $166.67), 50% of meals for 2 days (2 * $150 * 50% = $150), hotel for 2 days (2 * $300 = $600), and the rental car for 2 days (2 * $150 = $300). Total deductible expenses: $166.67 + $150 + $600 + $300 = $1,216.67, rounded to $1,217.
