To calculate current E&P, we start with taxable income and make adjustments. The adjustments include adding back any non-deductible expenses and subtracting any tax-exempt income or nondeductible expenses paid from E&P.

Since the problem doesn't provide any information about non-deductible or tax-exempt items, we can assume there are none. So, the current E&P is simply taxable income of $550,000 plus any prior year accumulated E&P.

Therefore, current E&P = $550,000 + $38,500 (prior year E&P on which no tax was paid) = $588,500.
