Taxable income=Operating income-interest expense+taxable part of divident recieved
Here taxable part of dividend recieved=50% of 25000=12500
1. Taxable income=385000-60000+12500
=337500
2. Tax expense= Taxable income*tax rate=337500*.21
=70875
3. After tax income=Operating income-Interest expense+Dividend recieved-Tax expense
=385000-60000+25000-70875
=279125
