22. Using the tests for deductibility discussed in Chapter 5, explain why the following expenses may or may not be fully deductible in the current year. (16 points) Antonio is the owner of a restaurant. His business has been growing, and Antonio determines that he needed to add more seating capacity. He builds a patio garden section onto the back of the restaurant at a cost of $150,000 a. b. Tina owns a construction company. Because she is behind schedule on a project, she pays a city building inspector $5000 to get him to come out and do his inspection a week before he had scheduled the inspection. C. Claude is a graduate of State University and an avid supporter of the school's athletic program. During the summer, he employed State's star running back in his pool cleaning business. He paid the football player $20 an hour although other employees doing similar work are only paid $10 per hour. d. Melody owns a chain of coffeehouses. When she opened a coffeehouse in a new city this year, she spent $20,000 advertising the new store.
