Answer 1

Answer: $76,400

Explanation:

GIVEN THE FOLLOWING :

TAXABLE INCOME = $160,000

MUNICIPAL INTEREST = $20,000

ENTERTAINMENT EXPENSE = $55,000

FUN.

CURRENT E&P = (taxable income + interest) - (expenses + Tax deduction).

CURRENT E&P = $160,000 + $20000 - (55000 + 15000 + (160,000*0.21))

CURRENT E&P = 160000 + 20000 - 55000 - 15000 - 33600)

THEREFORE CURRENT E&P = $76,400
