Explanation:

1. Preparation of the appropriate journal entry to record Ameenâs 2021 income taxes. Assume an income tax rate of 25%.

Depreciation as per books for 2021 = $30 - $28 Depreciation as per books for 2021= $2 million

Depreciation as per tax for 2021 = $20 - $12

Depreciation as per tax for 2021 = $8 million

Taxable income = $50 + $2 - $8

Taxable income = $44 million

JOURNAL ENTRIES - Ameen Company (In million)

Dr Income tax expense $12.50

Cr To Income taxes payable ($44*25%) $11.00

Cr To Deferred tax liability ($6*25%) $1.50

(To record income tax expense)

2. Calculation to determine What is Ameenâs 2021 net income?

Ameen's 2021 net income = $50 - $12.50

Ameen's 2021 net income = $37.50 million

Therefore Ameen's 2021 net income is $37.50 million

a recipe serves 8 people, and calls for 5 lbs of apples and 2 cups of flour. you want to prepare it for 24 people. divide 24 by 8 to get 3, and then multiply your ingredients by 3.

so for 24 people, you'll need 15 lbs of apples, and 6 cups of flour.

i'ts proportional. if the inflation rate is 12% for example, the cpi will be 12% less.

hope it ,
