Anton Morrison · Answer 1

27.2 Million

Explanation:

Taxable Income = pretax accounting income + warranty expense + depreciation expense - warranty costs were incurred - MACRS depreciation

Taxable Income = 90 + 8 + 19 - 7 - 42

Taxable Income = $ 68

Centipede's income tax payable = Taxable Income*tax rate

Centipede's income tax payable = 68*40%

Centipede's income tax payable = $ 27.20 Million

Therefore the answer c) 27.2 Million
