Answer:

$35,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question

Pre tax loss on sale of a component = $50,000

Income tax rate = 30%

So, the after tax loss on Division X is

= Pre tax loss on sale of a component - Pre tax loss on sale of a component × income tax rate

= $50,000 - $50,000 × 30%

= $50,000 - $15,000

= $35,000

We deduct the income tax rate from the pre tax loss so that the after tax loss could come
