Taxable income= Operating income- Interest expense + 50% of dividend received
Given,
Operating income= $465,000
Interest expense= $30,000
Dividend income= $15,000
Plugging the inputs,
Taxable income= 465000-30000+15000*50% = $442,500
Tax amount= Taxable income*Tax rate
Given,
Tax rate= 21%
Therefore, tax expense= 442,500*21% = $92,925
After tax income= Taxable income-Tax expense
=442,500-92,925 = $349,575
