Answer:
$40,000
Explanation:
Given that,
EBIT = $538,000
Interest expense = $63,000
Net income = $435,000
EBT = EBIT - Interest expense
= $538,000 - $63,000
= $475,000
Tax reported in Income statement:
= EBT - Net income
= $475,000 - $435,000
= $40,000
Therefore, the 2018 taxes reported on the income statement is $40,000.
