    The income tax expense for the year was $ 87,000

    Explanation:

    To calculate the income tax expense we first need to take into account some details of the excercise:

    We have a Gross profit of $ 728,000 and a Operating expense of $ 398,000, so $ 728,000 - $398,000 = $ 330,000 which is the operating income.

    We have then other expenses and losses of $ 40,000, so $ 330,000 of the operating income - the $ 40,000 of the other expenses = $ 290,000 which is the income before tax

    Finally the, to calculate the income tax expense we have to multiply $ 290,000 of income before tax * the corporate tax rate of 30%.

    so $ 290,000*30% = $ 87,000.
