    Income tax expense of $14 million should report in the income statement

    Explanation:

    Southeast Airline should report the income on the basis of their earning in the year.

    Earning Before Tax = $30 Million

    Tax on Earning Before Tax = $30 Million x 40% = $12 million

    Gain on disposal = $5 million

    Tax on Gain on disposal = $5 million x 40% = 2 million

    Total Income tax = $12 million + $2 million = $14 million

    Another way

    Total Income tax = ($30 million + $5 million) x 40% = $14 million
