Answer 1

$277,125

Step-by-step explanation:

The calculation of income tax expense is shown below:-

Income tax expense = Income taxes payable at the end of 2022 + (Rent revenue ÷ 2) × Tax rate

= $258,000 + (($153,000 ÷ 2) × 0.25)

= $258,000 + $76,500 × 0.25

= $258,000 + $19,125

= $277,125

Therefore for computing the income tax revenue we simply applied the above formula.
