To compute the provision for federal income taxes, the following year 8 data are provided: Rent received in advance $ 22,000 Income from exempt municipal bonds $ 17,000 Depreciation deducted for income tax purposes $ 18,000 Depreciation deducted for financial reporting $ 10,000 What amount should Packer report as taxable income?

Answer 1

$127,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for the amount to be reported as taxable income

Using formula

Taxable income=[Year 8 Income Statement + Rent received in advance -Income from exempt municipal bonds -(Depreciation deducted for income tax purposes-Depreciation deducted for financial reporting)]

Let plug in the formula

Taxable income=[$130,000+$ 22,000 -$ 17,000 -( $ 18,000 -$ 10,000 )]

Taxable income=$130,000+$ 22,000 -$ 17,000 -$8,000

Taxable income=$127,000

Therefore the amount that Packer should report as taxable income will be $127,000
