Sue's loss worth $2,300 is disallowed because of her at-risk amount.

Explanation:

Loss disallowed refers to the amount of loss that cannot be deducted for the purpose of calculating the taxable amount. In the given scenario, we first calculate the loss allowed and then deduct it from loss allocation to determine the loss disallowed amount.

Loss allowed is the at-risk amount which equals $8,800.

Hence, loss allowed = $8,800

Loss allocation = $11,100

Disallowed loss = Loss allocation - Loss allowed

= $11,100 - $8,800

= $2,300
