    The correct answer is option e.

    Explanation:

    Scholarships may or may not be taxable. Scholarships are generally tax-free when they are used to pay for tuition, books and other necessary equipment.

    Here, Nicole is getting a scholarship of $52,000 for the year 2018.

    She is spending $40,000 on tuition, $5,000 for books and $7,000 for room and board.

    The total expenses are

    =$ (40,000+5,000)

    =$45,000

    So, out of $52,000 non taxable amount is $45,000.

    Nicole will be taxed for $7,000 and will be exempted from tax for $45,000.
