Answer 1

Answer: $287,000

Explanation:

Based on the information, Sandeep adjusted gross income will be:

Salary $80,000

Add: Punitive damages: $200,000

Add: Cash dividends: $7000

AGI = $80,000 + $200,000 + $7000

AGI = $287,000

Note that the interest income on City of Baltimore bonds and the damages for personal injury are both non taxable exclusion and therefore aren't added.
