Respuesta :

Answer:

$5,000 increase

Explanation:

As Martha has the main home in Houston and in the current year she rented it for only 10 days, this means that house is rented for less than 14 days and will be still treated as her personal residence, therefore, no deduction will be available for Martha against her rental income. Martha's Adjusted gross income will be increased by an amount of $5,000.
