    John's deductible rental loss is $3200

    Explanation:

    Given data

    rented the house = $4,000

    time = 36 months

    mortgage interest = $5000

    property taxes = $600

    utilities and maintenance = $900

    depreciation = $3500

    to find out

    rental loss

    solution

    we know here proportion rental expenses are for 36 days and 14 day used house of total expenses

    total expenses are = mortgage interest + property taxes + utilities and maintenance + depreciation

    total expenses = 5000 + 600 + 900 + 3500

    total expenses = $10000

    proportion rental expenses = 10000 * 36 days / (365+14)

    proportion rental expenses = $7200

    so rental loss = rental expenses - rental income

    rental loss = $7200 - $4000

    rental loss = $3200

    so John's deductible rental loss is $3200
