What amount should Packer report as taxable income?

Answer 1

The taxable income is $127,000

Step-by-step explanation:

= Income before provisions for income taxes + Rent received in advance - Income from exempt municipal bonds - Depreciation deducted for income tax purposes + Depreciation deducted for financial purposes

= $130,000 + $22,000 - $17,000 - $18,000 + $10,000

= $127,000
