    The answer is B. $68,500 income on schedule E; $8,000 on schedule A

    Explanation:

    An S corp is also known as a pass through entity. It is a form of corporation wherein income, taxes, losses or deductions are transferred to the other owners and are not borne by the entity. This is done in proportion of their shareholdings. In this case, 50%.

    This implies that after computing net profit (revenue less expenses) $22,5000 - $88,000 = $137,000 and then dividing proportionately, we obtaib $68,500 as income to be declared on schedule E.

    The investment expense is also divided proportionately and reported on schedule A. That is, 50% of $16,000, which is $8,000.
