Answer:

a. $6,322

b. $162

c. $104

Explanation:

In this question, we apply the standard rate for mileage for each case in 2018 i.e shown below:

a. For business:

= Number of miles for business × prescribe rate

= 11,600 miles × 54.5%

= $6,322

b. For charitable

= Number of miles for charitable × prescribe rate

= 11,60 miles × 14%

= $162

c. For Medical:

= Number of miles for business × prescribe rate

= 580 miles × 18%

= $104
