Answer 1

$35,300

Step-by-step explanation:

Cash paid = $41,000

Cash rebate received = $2,000

Federal tax received = $3,700

Damian's basis of car = Cash paid - (Cash rebate received + Federal tax received)

Damian's basis of car = $41000 - ($2000 + $3700)

Damian's basis of car = $41000 - $5,700

Damian's basis of car = $35,300
