Answer 1

Answer:

$378,000

Explanation:

Best Corp. has income before tax of $540,000.

The tax rate is 30%.  the amount of tax will be 30% of $540,000.

= 30/100 x $540,000

=0.3 x 540,000

=$162,000

Tax amount = $162,000.

Net income =  Income before tax - tax amount

=$540,000 - $162,000

=$378,000
