a. If Ned participates for 600 hours and the employee participates for 2,000 hours during the year, Ned qualifies as a material participant.

Explanation:

Ned, a college professor, owns a separate business (not real estate) in which he participates in the current year. He has one employee who works part-time in the business. Option A is the correct answer because an individual who participates for more than 500 hours is a material participant regardless of how much others participate, so If Ned participates for 600 hours and the employee participates for 2,000 hours during the year, Ned qualifies as a material participant.
