Answer:

The answer is Option B.

$48000

Explanation:

Guaranteed payment                                                 $30,000.00  

Balance distribution [($210000-$90000)*40%]         $48,000.00  

Stephanie's adjusted gross income                         $78,000.00

Increase in Stephanie's adjusted gross income         $48,000.00
