In its 2018 income statement, Freda's separately stated income tax expense and total income tax expense would be:

Answer 1

Answer:

$84,160 and $101,440

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

For income tax expense

= Operating income × rate on income tax

= $263,000 × 32%

= $84,160

And, for the total income tax expense,

= (Operating income + Income on discontinued operations)  × rate on income tax

= ($263,000 + $54,000) × 32%

= $101,440

We simply applied the above formula to determine the income tax expense and total income tax expense
