Expert Solution
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
