Answer:

$2.000

Explanation:

First we calculate the debt incurred as the result of the cancellation by deducting liabilities with asset value as follows:

43,000 - 38,000 = $5,000

Under the insolvency exception rule Marvin can exclude the $5,000 cancelled debt from income.

7,000 - 5,000 = $2,000

Hence, Marvin must report the addition of $2,000 aside from his income on his returns.
