Compute Jovar's U.S. tax liability if it takes the foreign tax credit.

Answer 1

Answer:

$204,000

Explanation:

Computation of Jovar's U.S. tax liability

First step isnto determine the U.S precredit tax.

34%×$700,000

=$238,000

U.S Precredit tax = $238,000

Second step is to calculate the foreign tax credit.

Therefore the Credit is limited to:

$238,000 * 100/700

= $34,000.

Hence:

$238,000-$34,000

=$204,000

Therefore Jovar's U.S. tax liability if it takes the foreign tax credit will be $204,000
