问题如下:
1. In 2007, the company’s net income (loss) was closest to:
选项:
A. ($217,000).
B. ($329,000).
C. ($556,000).
解释:
C is correct.
The income tax provision at the statutory rate of 34 percent is a benefit of $112,000, suggesting that the pre-tax income was a loss of $112,000/0.34 = ($329,412). The income tax provision was $227,000. ($329,412) − $227,000 = ($556,412).
为什么算出来的loss329412 还要再减去income tax expense呢 329412不已经是net loss?
