Answer: $150,000
Explanation:
Seeing as the litigation expense will only be paid in 2018, it should be added back to income for 2015.
= 900,000 + 100,000
= $1,000,000
As the depreciation will reverse evenly over the next three years and with future income probable, it should be removed from income.;
= 1,000,000 - 300,000
= $700,000
Municipal Bonds have the advantage of being Tax-exempt so their interest income should be removed to calculate how much tax should be paid.
= 700,000 - 200,000
= $500,000
2015 Income Tax Payable = 500,000 * 30%
= $150,000
