Builtrite had sales of $900,000 and COGS of $280,000. In addition, operating expenses were calculated at 25% of sales. Builtrite also received dividends of $50,000 and paid out common stock dividends of $25,000 to its stockholders. A long-term capital gain of $70,000 was realized during the year along with a capital loss of $50,000
Based on their taxable income, what is Bullrite's tax liability?
Solution) Sales = $900,000
COGS = $280,000
Operating Expenses = 25% of Sales = 25%*900,000 = $225,000
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) = Sales - COGS - Operating Expenses
= 900,000 - 280,000 - 225,000
= $395,000
Dividends income = $50,000
Long-term capital gain = $70,000
Long-term capital loss = $50,000
Net capital gain = $70,000 - $50,000
= $20,000
Total Taxable Income = EBIT + Dividend Income + Net capital gain
= 395,000 + 50,000 + 20,000
= $465,000
Federal corporate tax rate = 21%
Tax Liability = 21%* 465,000 = $97,650
