    b. $210,000

    Explanation:

    The computation of the total income tax expense is shown below:

    = Net income before tax * U. S tax rate

    = $600,000 * 21%

    = $210,000

    As in the question, the net income before tax includes depreciation expense so we do not add it again. That's why we do not consider the depreciation expense in the computation part.
