Answer 1

Effective accounting tax rate = 17.61%

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

Pre Tax book income = $1,026,000

Reserve for warranties = $101,300

Tax depreciation = $206,500

Deduction inform of dividends received = $55,200

to find out

accounting effective tax rate

solution

we assume here tax rate is 21 %

So Taxable income will be here as

Taxable income = [ $1,026,000 + $101,300 ] - [ $206,500 + $55,200 ]

Taxable income = $1,127,300 - $261,700

Taxable income = $865,600

Tax @21% = $865,600 × 21%

Tax = $181,776

Effective accounting tax rate will be

Effective accounting tax rate =
`(181776)/(1026000)`

Effective accounting tax rate = 17.61%
