Answer 1

$640,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the LNS Corporation’s taxable income for the year is shown below:

= Revenues reported - tax exempt interest income - ordinary and necessary business expenses reported

= $2,000,000 - $1,345,000 - $15,000

= $640,000

We simply deduct the tax exempt interest income and the ordinary and necessary business expenses reported from the revenue reported
