 What is the current earnings and profits (E&P) of a corporation with taxable income of $10,000 that included the following unadjusted items:

Meals                                                                                  $ 200

Capital loss carried over from prior year                     3,000

A)   $7,100

B)   $10,000

C)  $12,800

D)   $12,900

Expert Solution

Computation of the current earnings & profit:-

Corporations are allowed to deduct 50% of qualifying meals expenses.

Current earnings & profit = Taxable income - Meals expense + Capital loss 

= $10,000 - ($200 * 50%) + $3,000

= $10,000 - $100 + $3,000

= $12,900

Hence, the correct option is D) $12,900
