d. $ 232000 and $ 269200 respectively

Answer 1

Answer: c. $117,600 and $213,600 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Income tax expense = Income before tax * tax rate

= 294,000 * 40%

= $117,600

Net Income = Income before tax - tax expense + ( Tax adjusted discontinued operations income)

= 294,000 - 117,600 + ( 62,000 * (1 - 40%))

= $213,600
