Answer:

$2,297.50

Explanation:

The annual lease value for Brent's Toyota Prius is $9,750. Since he uses the car approximately 20% of the time for personal use, then Brent's share of the annual lease is = $9,750 x 20% = $1,950

This 20% of personal use represents 6,950 miles (= 34,750 miles x 20%), if the company charges him five cents per mile, then Brent is receiving  $347.50 (= 6,950 x $.05 ) for personal fuel use.

Brent's total taxable benefit = $1,950 +  $347.50 = $2,297.50
