d. $33,375
e. none of the above

correct option is b. $2,499

Explanation:

given data

acquired cost = $50,000

production of income = 30%

deduction = $100,000

to find out

maximum deduction with respect to the property for 2017

solution

we know that here listed property does not pass the predominantly business usage test so here we not take 179 expending  or additional 1st year depreciation

so only straight  line cost recovery is used

so  Maximum deduction will be here as

Maximum deduction = (50,000 × 0.0714 × 70%)

so maximum deduction = 2,499

so correct option is b. $2,499
