$30.1

Explanation:

Adjusted basis refers to the net value of an asset after considering depreciation and capital investments. It is the net value of an asset.

Adjusted taxable income is the income after adjusting for depreciation and interest.

For a sole proprietorship, the income of the business is the same as owners' income.  

For Renee, adjusted taxable income will be,

Total revenue= $85M

Net expenses equal to total revenue minus depreciation minus interest paid

=$78.1, - $10.1 - $12.7

=$54.9

Adjusted taxable income= Total revenue - net expenses

= $85 - $54.9

=$30.1
