Answer: $324,800
Step-by-step explanation:
It is a general Principle that when calculating income tax expense, that the Extraordinary loss is treated separately because it is not a usual thing.
The income gained from changing the Accounting principle is not included as well.
The Taxable income to be recorded therefore is,
Taxable income = Income + Gain on disposal - Unusual loss (due to its infrequency)
Taxable income = 928,000 + 32,000 - 148,000
Taxable income = $812,000
Tax expense would therefore be,
= 812,000 * 40%
= $324,800
$324,800 is the amount of income tax expense Arreaga would report on its income statement.
