Iggies Ice Cream Company has taken a position in its tax return to claim a tax credit of $80 million (direct reduction in taxes payable) and has determined that its sustainability is "more likely than not," based on its technical merits. The tax credit would be a direct reduction in current taxes payable. Iggies believes the likelihood that a $80 million, $48 million, or $16 million tax benefit will be sustained is 25%, 35%, and 40%, respectively. Iggies' taxable income is $550 million for the year. Its effective tax rate is 40%. What is Iggies' income tax expense for the year

Respuesta :

Answer:

Total income tax expense =  $172

Explanation:

solution

we get here first tax Currently Payable that is

tax Currently Payable = $550 million × 40%

tax Currently Payable = $220  million

and Tax credit available =  $80 million

so here Net Tax currently payable will be

Net Tax currently payable = $220 - $80

Net Tax currently payable  = $140 million

and

Additional projected liability is = $80 - $48

Additional projected liability is = $32 million

so here Total income tax expense will be

Total income tax expense = $140 million  + $32

Total income tax expense =  $172
