Taxable income: $Income tax: $b. Assume the same facts except that Werbung's long-term capital gain was $50,000. Compute Werbung's taxable income and tax for the year. Taxable income: $Income tax: $

a. Compute Werbung's taxable income and tax for the year.

taxable income = $430,000 (revenue) - $355,000 (operating expenses) + $25,000 (long term capital gains) - $2,000 (long term capital loss) - $30,000 (short term capital loss) = $68,000

b. Assume the same facts except that Werbung's long-term capital gain was $50,000.

taxable income = $430,000 (revenue) - $355,000 (operating expenses) + $50,000 (long term capital gains) - $2,000 (long term capital loss) - $30,000 (short term capital loss) = $93,000
