Assume that Nighthawk has average gross receipts for the prior three-year period of $33,000,000. Determine Nighthawk’s current year deduction for business interest.

The deductible business interest expense in this case=  $1,400,000

The deductible limit applies, i.e deduction is limited to :  

Business interest income = 125000

PLUS  

30%*ATI 3700000  = 1110000

Nighthawk can deduct  the lesser of 1400000 & 1235000 is allowed as deductible business interest expense
