Answer 1

Answer:

B. $1673920

Explanation:

First calculate Total loss

$2000000 loss from disposal of a component of the business and loss of $92400 from strike by the employees of a supplier

$2000000 + $92400 = $2,092,400

20% of the loss =

20% × $2,092,400

= $418,480

Therefore the effect of these events and transactions on 2020 net income net of tax would = Total loss - 20% of total loss

$2,092,400 - $418,480

= $1,673,920
