Answer:

Sean and Jenny

The deductible net loss for the rental of their home is:

= $18,241.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Number of days for rent of $3,000 collected = 40 days

Number of personal use of house = 18 days

Total number of days that the house was in use = 58 days

House Expenses:

Mortgage interest $14,000

Property taxes          3,500

Utilities                       1,100

Maintenance             1,300

Depreciation          10,900

Total expenses  $30,800

Proportion of house expense:

Rental use =       $21,241 (40/58 * $30,800) 69%

Personal use =   $9,559 (18/58 * $30,800)   31%

Total expense $30,800

The deductible net loss for the rental of their home is $18,241 ($3,000 - $21,241).
