Answer:  Pearls Taxable Income

Sales                                                          $2,100,000

Less:

Cost of goods sold                                    $500,000

Operating expenses                                  300,000

Earnings before interest & taxes       $1,300,000

Interest expense                                          150,000

Taxable income                                       1,150,000

Total taxes owed                                      $391,000

Taxes on operating earnings = (.15)(50,000) + (.25)(25,000) + (.34) 25,000) + (.39)(235,000) +.(34)(735,000)= 7,500 + 6,250 + 8500 + 91,650+277,100 = $391,000 or

                                Because taxable income is over $335,000

                                taxes can be computed 1,150,000 × .34 =

                                $391,000
