Answer:

$53,577

Explanation:

Computation for Mr. and Mrs. Kim's qualified residence interest

Using this formula

Qualified residence interest=(Acquisition debt ÷ Total debt) ×Total interest

Where,

Total Acquisition=$ 969,800+ 361,000

Total Acquisition=$1,330,800

Total debt =$ 45,000 +26,300

Total debt=$71,300

Let plug in the formula

Qualified residence interest=(1,000,000÷$1,330,800)×$71,300

Qualified residence interest=$53,577

Therefore the Qualified residence interest is $53,577
