Garner Grocers began operations in 2005. Garner has reported the following levels of taxable income (EBT) over the past several years. The corporate tax rate was 34% each year. Assume that the company has taken full advantage of the Tax Code's carry-back, carry-forward provisions, and assume that the current provisions were applicable in 2005. What is the amount of taxes the company paid in 2008?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the taxes paid in 2008, we need to determine the taxable income for that year and apply the 34% tax rate. If the company had any losses in previous years, they could carry them forward to offset taxable income. However, without specific income figures for each year, we assume the taxable income for 2008 was fully taxable at 34%. Thus, the tax paid would be 34% of the taxable income for 2008, which corresponds to the given choice.
