Answer 1

Mathis Co.

The Tax payable for 2020 is:

= $1,320,000

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

2020 Financial income = $1,200,000

add Litigation expense 3,000,000

add installment sales 2,400,000

Adjusted taxable income $6,600,000

Income tax rate = 20%

Tax payable for 2020 = $1,320,000

b) The litigation expense was deducted from the financial income. This is added back to the income. Installment sales were not included in the revenue for the financial income of 2020. This is also added to the financial income. The net result is the figure for taxable income. This forms the basis for the application of the income tax rate of 20%.
