| Interest received | $10,000 |
| Interest paid | $45,000 |

| Dividends paid | $50,000 |
If the applicable income tax rate is 40% (federal and state

what is the corporation's tax liability?
| a. $84,436 |
| b. $85,325 |
| c. $88,880 |
| d. $73,770 |
| e. $94,213 |
| Amount | |
| Operating income | $250,000 |
| Interest received | $10,000 |
| Interest paid | ($45,000) |
| Dividends received-24000*30% | $7,200 |
