Last year, Western Corporation had sales of $5 million, cost of goods sold of $3 million, operating expenses of $175,000 and depreciation of $125,000. The firm received $40,000 in dividend income and paid $200,000 in interest on loans. Also, Western sold stock during the year, receiving a $40,000 gain on stock owned 6 years, but losing $60,000 on stock owned 4 years. What is the firm's tax payment

Respuesta :

Answer: $319,200

Explanation:

Tax = ( Net Income + Dividend + capital gains ) * tax rate

Net Income = Sales - COGS - Operating Cost - Depreciation - Interest

= 5,000,000 - 3,000,000 - 175,000 - 125,000 - 200,000

= $1,500,000

Tax = (1,500,000 + 40,000 + ( 40,000 - 60,000) ) * 21%

= $319,200
