Question

Answer 1

Answer: $51 million

Explanation:

Based on the values given in the question, the income tax expense would be calculated as:

Taxable Income = $220 million

Less : Deferred Income = $16 million

Form the above, we would then calculate the tax expense as:

= 25% × ($220 - $16)

= 25% × $204 million

= 0.25 × $204 million.

= $51 million
