Problem 8 – 19 D
Allowable deduction – fringe benefit expense (P102,000/68%) P150,000
Problem 8 – 20 D
Assume bonus is computed after tax but before bonus. The answer is letter D = P8,143, computed as follows:
Net income before charitable contribution (P75,000 +
P5,000) P 80,000
Less: Deductible contribution (P80,000 x 5%) – lower of
actual 4,000
Net income before income tax and bonus P 76,000
B = 15% (76,000 – T) T = 30% (76,000 – B) B = 15% [76,000 – 30% (76,000 – B)] B = 15% (76,000 – 24,320 + 30%B) B = 11,400 – 3,420 +0.045B B – 0.045B = 7,980 0.952B = 7,980/0.955 B = 8,356
Proof:
Income before bonus and tax P76,000
Less: Income tax (P76,000 – P8,356) x 30% 20,293
Income after tax but before bonus P55,707
Multiplied by rate of bonus 15%
