Paul Is Employed as an Auditor by a CPA Firm

question 116

Short Answer

Paul is employed as an auditor by a CPA firm. On most days, he commutes by auto from his home to the office.
During one month, however, he has an extensive audit assignment closer to home. For this engagement, Paul drives directly from home to the client's premises and back. Mileage information follows: $\begin{array}{lr}\text { Home to office } & 12 \text { miles Office to } \\\text { audit client } & 15 \text { miles Audit client to home }\\10 \text { miles }\end{array}$ If Paul spends 20 days on the audit and provides an adequate accounting to his employer, what is his reimburseable mileage?
