George drove his car 24,000 miles during the year, and he placed the car in service on June 1, 2011. His log indicates that 18,000 miles were for sales calls to customers at the customers’ offices and the remainder was personal mileage. George uses the standard mileage rate method.

He takes a customer to every game, and they discuss some business before, during, and after the games. George also takes clients to business lunches. His log indicates that he spent $1,500 on these business meals. George also took a five-day trip to the Toyboat headquarters in Musty, Ohio.
