Answer 1

Answer:

A) $424,000

Explanation:

Madison Corporation's current earnings and profits for 20x3 would be:

reported taxable income - accrued federal income taxes + regular depreciation - E&P depreciation + net capital loss carryover =

$400,000 - $136,000 + $200,000 - $60,000 + $20,000 =  $424,000
