Hopkins Company has taken a position in its tax return to claim a tax credit of $70,000 (direct reduction in taxes payable) and has determined that it is "more likely than not" that the tax position will be sustained. The tax credit would be a direct reduction in current taxes payable. Hopkins believes the likelihood that a $70,000, $42,000, or $14,000 tax benefit will be sustained is 20%, 40%, and 40%, respectively. What is the amount of the additional projected liability that should be recognized?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The amount of the additional projected liability that should be recognized is $28,000

Explanation:

For computing the amount of the additional projected liability, we have to apply the formula which is shown below:

= Tax benefit in 20% - Tax benefit in 40%

= $70,000 - $42,000

= $28,000

The other information which is given in the question is irrelevant. So, it is not been considered in the computation part. Hence, it is ignored.

We took the higher value between $42,000 and $14,000.
