Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sophie's deductible expenses include only the expenses related to her business trip, which are the airfare, lodging, meals, and entertainment for the four days she spent on business and travel. Therefore, her deductible expenses are $3,000 (airfare) + $800 (lodging) + $300 (meals for 4 days at the standard per diem rate of $75/day) + $0 (entertainment is not deductible) = $4,100. However, since some of these expenses were reimbursed by her employer, her unreimbursed expenses are $4,100 - $1,000 (reimbursement for lodging and meals) = $3,100. Hence, the correct answer is B.
