What are Lily's taxable income and tax liability for the year

Tax Liability  = $59,170

Explanation:

Profit on building = 234,000-(204,000-56,000)

Profit on building = $86,000

Loss on equipment = 84,000 - (152,000-27,000)

Loss on equipment = $41,000

Net profit = Profit on building - Loss on equipment

Net profit = $86,000 - $41,000

Net profit = $45,000

Taxable income before transaction = $194,500

Total taxable income = $194,500 + $45,000

Total taxable income = $239,500

According to tax rules

Tax Liability  = ($194,500 - $85,650)28% + 17,442 + ($45,000 )(25%)

Tax Liability  = $47,920 + $11,250

Tax Liability  = $59,170
