Answer: a. $3,909

Explanation (brief): California requires adding back the deduction for repairs required by a government notice that were not actually performed or paid by year‑end (the $1,600 repairs) and the federal depreciation deduction of $2,309 is also added back for California purposes, for a total add‑back of $2,309 + $1,600 = $3,909.
