Answer:
Effect on income= -$18,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Granfield Company has a piece of manufacturing equipment with a book value of $36,000 and a remaining useful life of four years. At the end of the four years, the equipment will have a zero salvage value. The market value of the equipment is currently $21,200. Granfield can purchase a new machine for $112,000 and receive $21,200 in return for trading in its old machine. The new machine will reduce variable manufacturing costs by $18,200 per year over the four-year life of the new machine.
Year 0= -112,000 + 21,200= -90,800
Year 1 to 4= 18,200*4= 72,800
Effect on income= -90,800 + 72,800= -18,000
Answer:
A. = (15% X $2M) + (21% X $2M) = $720,000. Since there is no mechanism for mitigating double taxation, the branch profit will be taxed on the to tax rate of 15% and 21% which is $300,000 and $420,000.

C.If they are allowed to take deductions for foreign income taxes, the total tax on the $2m branch profit will be (21% -15%) x $2m = $120,000.
Explanation:

D.2.
If the charge foreign income taxes at 30% and US corporations can claim refundable credit for foreign income tax paid on foreign source income = ($2m - $300,000 been the foreign income tax paid) = $1 700,000 x 30% = $510,000
