Answer:

$2,381.50

Explanation:

Prorated annual lease value per publication 15-b  = $10,150

Brent's personal use lease value = $10,150 x 20% = $2,030

Brent's personal use miles = 35,150 miles x 20% = 7,030 miles

Personal use fuel: 7,030 miles x $0.05 per mile = $351.50

Brent's total personal use taxable income: $2,030 + $351.50  = $2,381.50
