Explanation / Answer

Taxable Income = Sale-Cost of merchandise sold - operating expenses - depreciation- interest expenses

Taxable Income = 3000000-2000000-400000-100000-150000

Taxable Income = $ 350,000

Corporate Tax Liability = 50000*15% + (75000-50000)*25% + (350000-75000)*34% + (335000-100000)*5%

Corporate Tax Liability = $ 119000
