Answer 1

Answer:

A. $520,000.

Explanation:

As the Organization costs are being written off, we have nothing to withdraw from the income, because of the costs being expensed for financial statements, so we only have positive numbers now, and that would be $520,000 and that is the amount that should be the amount of taxable income that should be declared.
