Jos is a Sales Manager. He uses his own car to travel to various locations. He acquired the car on 1 October 2021 for $60,000. The acquisition cost was funded entirely by a loan at an interest rate of 15%. He has determined that the depreciation deduction on the car would be $2,300 for the year. In addition, Jos incurred the following expenses during the year: Registration and insurance = $2,000; Repairs and maintenance = $1,000; and Oil and fuel costs = $1,500. For the period 1 October 2021 to 30 June 2022, Jos estimates that the car travelled 15,000 kilometres, 12,000 of which were for business purposes. You may assume that Jos has maintained all necessary records and a logbook. Required: Calculate Jos's deduction for car expenses under the two methods (cent per kilometre rate 0.72 and logbook) in Div 28 of Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. Assume that depreciation has been adjusted for part-year use and the impact of the car limit
