Step 1: Calculation of deduction
Annual Gross Receipt = $58 million
Business Interest Income = $3 million
Business Interest Expenses = $8 million
Adjusted taxable Income = $14 million
Working note - 1
Deduction = Business Income + 30% of adjusted total income
= $3 + 30% ( 14)
= $3 + $4.2
= $7.2 Million
Working note - 2
The amount carried forward = Business Interest Expenses - deduction
= $8 -7.2
= $0.8 Million
Step by step
Solved in 3 steps
