Answer:
$2.000
Explanation:
First we calculate the debt incurred as the result of the cancellation by deducting liabilities with asset value as follows:
43,000 - 38,000 = $5,000
Under the insolvency exception rule Marvin can exclude the $5,000 cancelled debt from income.
7,000 - 5,000 = $2,000
Hence, Marvin must report the addition of $2,000 aside from his income on his returns.
