It has annual average gross receipts of more than $25,000,000 over the prior three taxable years. a. What is UNA’s interest expense deduction? b. How much interest expense can be deducted if UNA’s adjusted taxable income is $300,000?

Answer 1

they will deduct full of $120000 interest

they will deduct up to $112000

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

adjusted taxable income = $500,000

business interest income = $22,000

business interest expense = $120,000

annual average gross receipts = $25,000,000

solution

we know that Maximum Deduction is here express as

Maximum Deduction = ( adjusted taxable income × 30% ) + business interest income ..................1

put here value

Maximum Deduction = ( 500000 × 30% ) + 22000

Maximum Deduction = $172000

so that here they will deduct full of $120000 interest

and

for Maximum Deduction is here

Maximum Deduction = (300000 × 30%) + business interest income .........2

Maximum Deduction = (300000 × 30% )+22000

Maximum Deduction = $112000

so that they will deduct up to $112000
