Verified Answer
Adrienne's U.S. tax liability is $25,210, and she has paid $2,800 in foreign income taxes. Since the foreign income tax paid is less than the U.S. tax liability on the same income, Adrienne is eligible for a foreign tax credit.
The foreign tax credit is limited to the lesser of the foreign income tax paid or the U.S. tax liability on the same income, so Adrienne's foreign tax credit is $2,800 (the amount of foreign tax paid).
Therefore, the correct answer is B) $2,711.
