Respuesta :

Answer:

$167

Explanation:

Remember, that Martin's Annual Gross Income (AGI) consists of wages of $20,000.

To calculate the amount of interest that Martin must include in income;

Find the percentage of His qualified expenses for the year with the amount redeemed, multiplied by his interest

[tex]= \frac{2500}{3000}[/tex]× 1000

=$833 is excluded from income.

Included to income=$1000-$833= $167
