Question

Andrews Corporation has income from operations of $240,000. In addition, it received interest income of $24,000 and received dividend income of $29,500 from another corporation. Finally, it paid $11,800 of interest income to its bondholders and paid $45,000 of dividends to its common stockholders. The firm's federal tax rate is 21%. What is the firm's federal income tax

Answer 1

Answer: $54,820.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Federal income tax = Taxable income * tax rate

Taxable income = Income from operations + Interest income received + Dividend income received - Interest income paid

= 240,000 + 24,000 + (30% * 29,500) - 11,800

= $261,050

Federal income tax = 261,050 * 21%

= $54,820.50

Note: Only 30% of Dividends received are taxable
