Simpkin Corporation

Simpkin's apportionable income assigned to B is:.

b. $533,333

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Apportionable operating income = $1,000,000

                   State A            State B           State C         Totals

Sales      $400,000        $800,000      $300,000   $1,500,000

Payroll       100,000           150,000          50,000        300,000

Property   200,000          200,000        200,000       600,000

State B's portion of the operating income = $1,000,000 * $800,000/$1,500

= $533,333

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
