    a) $5, 764,000

    b) $1, 959,000

    Explanation:

    The first part of the question is to determine the taxable income of the company

    The taxable income - The company's gross income - The Capital Expenditures - The Depreciation expenses for capital expenditure

    = $8,500,000 - $2,280,000 - $456,000

    = $5,764,000

    Part B) This is to determine the Federal Income Taxes for the year

    Looking at the income tax distribution tab, we first check where the company falls into

    Since, the company has a taxable income of $5,764,000, it falls in the category of

    $335,000 to $10,000,000 = $113,900 + 34% of the amount over $335,000

    As such, the Federal Income Tax

    = $113,900 + ($5,764,000 - $335,000) x 34%

    = $113,900 + $1, 845,000

    = $1, 959,000
