Answer 1

$2,520,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Capital gains of $17,000,000 will setted off against the loss of 24,000,000 and the remaining 7,000,000 will be carried forward for the next year.

DATA

Gross Profit = $69,000,000

Operating Expenses = ($57,000,000)

Captial Gains = $17,000,000

Capital Losses = ($24,000,000)

Tax Rate = 21%

Calculation

Taxable Income = $69,000,000 - $57,000,000 = $12,000,000

Tax Liability = Taxable Income * Tax Rate

Tax Liability = $12,000,000 * 21%

Tax Liability = $2,520,000

NOTE: Any Capital losses of the corporation can be set off against the Capital gains of the year
