Falcon corporation ended its first year of operations with taxable income of $250,000. at the time of falcon's formation, it incurred $50,000 of organizational expenses. in calculating its taxable income for the year, falcon claimed an $8,000 deduction for the organizational expenses. what is falcon's current e & p? a. $258,000b. $208,000c. $200,000d. $250,000e. none of these choices are correct.

a. $258,000

Explanation:

The organization expense ($8,000) is a capital expense and therefore is an enduring benefit for the organization. Capital expenditure is added back while calculating the E & P. Moreover, any organizational cost are treated as capital expenditure and these costs are written off in the E & P only when the organization is not anymore a going concern.

Going Concern is an assumption whereby an organization will continue to operate indefinitely.

A. 258,000

Explanation:

Note:  The reason why Falcon was able to deduct the $8,000 in the initial calculation of its taxable income for the year is that the Internal Revenue Service allows a Start-up Corporatio to deduct $5,000 in business startup costs and $5,000 in organizational costs only if the formation expenses or start-up cost is $50,000 or less. This exemption is removed once the expense is over $50,000.

Since, Falcon only incurred $50,000 as organisational expense during formation, the $8,000 is still within the limits of $10,000 allowed by the IRS.

However, The calculation of a firm's Earning and Profit represents a corporation's economic ability to pay dividends to its shareholders and it helps determine whether this dividend is taxable or not.

In calculating the E and P therefore, the claimed deduction from organisational expense must be added back to the taxable income. That is why Falcon's current Earnings and Profit is $258,000

i'ts proportional. if the inflation rate is 12% for example, the cpi will be 12% less.
