True Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Trumaine Corporation, generated a $400,000 taxable loss in its first year of operations. True's activities and sales are restricted to State A, which imposes an 8% income tax. In the same year, Trumaine's taxable income is $1,000,000. Trumaine's activities and sales are restricted to State B, which imposes an 11% income tax. Both states use a three-factor apportionment formula that equally weights sales, payroll, and property, and both require a unitary group to file on a combined basis. Sales, payroll, and average property for each corporation are as follows: True Corporation Turmaine Corporation Total
Sales $2500000 $4,000,000 6500,000
Property 1,000,000 25,00,000 35,00,000
Payroll 500,000 1500,000 2,000,000

True and Trumaine have been found to be members of a unitary business.
a. Determine the overall state income tax for the unitary group.
b. Determine aggregate state income tax for the entities if they were non-unitary.
c. Incorporate this analysis in a letter to Trumaine's board of directors. Corporate offices are located at 1234 Mulberry Lane, Birmingham, AL 35298.

a. The overall state income tax for the unitary group is $60,474

b. The aggregate state income tax for the entities if they were non-unitary is $110,000

c. The aggregate state income tax for the entities if they were non-unitary-overall state income tax for the unitary group is $49,253

Explanation:

a. In order to calculate the overall state income tax for the unitary group we would have to make the following calculation:

overall state income tax for the unitary group=state A income tax+ state B income tax

state A income tax=state taxable income*tax rate

state taxable income=$600,000*30.7%

state taxable income=$184,200

tax rate=8%

Therefore, state A income tax=$184,200*8%

state A income tax=$14,736

state B income tax=state taxable income*tax rate

state taxable income=$600,000*69.3%

state taxable income=$415,800

tax rate=11%

Therefore, state B income tax=$415,800*11%

state A income tax=$45,738

Therefore, overall state income tax for the unitary group=$14,736+$45,738

overall state income tax for the unitary group=$60,474

The overall state income tax for the unitary group is $60,474

b. In order to calculate the aggregate state income tax for the entities if they were non-unitary we would have to make the following calculation:

aggregate state income tax for the entities if they were non-unitary=aggregate state income tax state A+aggregate state income tax state B

aggregate state income tax state A=0

aggregate state income tax state B=$1,000,000*11%

aggregate state income tax state B=$110,000

Therefore, aggregate state income tax for the entities if they were non-unitary=0+$110,000

aggregate state income tax for the entities if they were non-unitary=$110,000

The aggregate state income tax for the entities if they were non-unitary is $110,000

c. The aggregate state income tax for the entities if they were non-unitary-overall state income tax for the unitary group=$110,000-$60,474

The aggregate state income tax for the entities if they were non-unitary-overall state income tax for the unitary group=$49,253

anyone below or above ambitious can tell you. so crowns mean brainliest. getting brainliest means your answer needs a good explanation and the person asking the question can understand your answer easily. so say there's a multiple choice question. you don't just want to say your answer is a, hope it . provide evidence and reasoning so that they know that that is the correct answer. a good explanation should have evidence, good reasoning, and your opinion on why you picked that. you don't want to look up their question on the internet and see if you can answer it. pick questions that you 100% know the answer to, so than that way you can provide a better explanation.

best of luck,
