Determine Rexs basis in the business portion of the auto as of January 1, 2020, under the following assumptions:

  1. Rex uses the automatic mileage method.

  2. Rex uses the actual cost method. [Assume that no 179 expensing is claimed and that 200% declining-balance cost recovery with the half-year convention is usedsee Chapter 8.
