Answer:

Nell's AGI for 2016 is $48,000

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

= Salary income + interest income - Business bad debt  -  net loss

where,

Net loss =  - Non business short-term capital loss - Non business bad debt  + Non business long-term capital gain

= - $3,000 - $6,000 + $4,000

= - $5,000

But the capital loss would be $3,000

So, the adjusted gross income  would be

= $50,000 + $3,000 - $2,000 - $3,000

= $48,000
