    Marlin's current income tax expense would be $233,856.00.

    Explanation:

    Based on the information provided in the question, Marlin's current income tax expense or benefit can be calculated using the following equation:

    Current income tax expense or benefit = (Pretax book income + Increase in net reserve for warranties + Excess of book depreciation over tax depreciation - dividends received already subtracted) * Tax rate

    Since tax rate for corporation is 21%, we substitute for all the values in equation above and estimate as follows:

    Current income tax expense or benefit = ($1,003,000 + $25,600 + $100,300 - $15,300) * 21%

    = $1,113,600 * 21%

    Current income tax expense or benefit = $233,856.00

    Since it is a positive amount, Marlin's current income tax expense would be $233,856.00.
