Respuesta :

Answer:

Company G

tax expense       25,500

after tax income 59,500

Company J

tax expense         17,850

after-tax income  67,150

Explanation:

under company G the tax income will be as follow:

income x tax-rate = tax income expense

85,000 x 30% = 25,500

then, we subtract the tax expense to get the after-tax income

85,000 - 25,500 = 59,500

For Company J we do the same but with a rate of 21%

85,000 x 21% = 17,850

85,000 - 17,850 = 67,150
