Answer 1

$2,500

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of charitable contribution deduction as stipulated in Section 181 of the Companies Act, 2013 is 5 percent of the net profit of such corporation.

Net Profit = Sales - Operating Expenses

Net Profit = $200,000 - $150,000

Net Profit = $50,000

Amount eligible for deduction = $50,000 * 5%

Amount eligible for deduction = $2,500

So, the amount eligible for deduction is $2,500 even though the Corporation contribute $6,000 as stated in the question
