Answer:
$173,820
Explanation:
pretax financial income $616,000
- interest income on municipal bonds ($78,400)
+ depreciation ($67,200 - $50,400) = $16,800
+ fine for dumping hazardous materials $25,000
taxable income = $579,400
income taxes payable = $579,400 x 30% = $173,820
Fines are not tax deductible, and since depreciation for tax purposes is lower than accounting depreciation, you must add them. But since municipal bonds are not taxable, they must be subtracted.
