    Deductible expenses: 500 (hobby expense after revenue limit - 2% AGI floor).

    Explanation:

    AGI Before activity: $97,500

    Hobby Rev. : $2,500

    AGI after activity: 100,000

    Hobby expense: 10,550

    Hobby expense after revenue limit: 2,500 (lessor of hobby rev. and hobby expense)

    2% AGI Floor: 2,000
