Answer 1

Answer:

$ 48,000

$3,200

Explanation:

Since C corporations are separate taxable entities, Cassowary Corporation will report the operating income and tax-exempt income. An S corporation is a tax reporting entity. Therefore, Barbara will report ordinary business income of $ 48,000 and tax-exempt $ 3,200.

Reason -

Business income = 120,000×40%

                           = $120,000.\frac{40}{100}$

                           = $48,000

⇒Business income = $48,000

Tax-exempt = 8,000×40%

                   = $8,000.\frac{40}{100}$

                   = $3,200

⇒Tax-exempt = $3,200
