Answer 1

$336,500

Step-by-step explanation:

Grand River corporation has a taxable income of $500,000 in 20X3

They paid a federal income tax of $192,500

The amount of expense that was not added to the report is $3,000

The tax exempt income is $2,000

The deferred gain is $30,000

Therefore, the current earinings and profits of the corporation for the year 20X3 can be calculated as follows

= Taxable income-federal income taxes-expenses-tax exempt income+deferred gain

=$500,000-$192,500-$3,000+$2,000+$30,000

= $336,500

Hence the current earnings and profits for the corporation is $336,500
