    Answer: $324,800

    Explanation:

    It is a general Principle that when calculating income tax expense, that the Extraordinary loss is treated separately because it is not a usual thing.

    The income gained from changing the Accounting principle is not included as well.

    The Taxable income to be recorded therefore is,

    Taxable income = Income + Gain on disposal - Unusual loss (due to its infrequency)

    Taxable income = 928,000 + 32,000 - 148,000

    Taxable income = $812,000

    Tax expense would therefore be,

    = 812,000 * 40%

    = $324,800

    $324,800 is the amount of income tax expense Arreaga would report on its income statement.
