Solution

To calculate the income tax expense, we first need to determine the tax based on the taxable income.

Step 1: Calculate the tax based on taxable income Taxable income is 280,000andthetaxrateis30280,000 and the tax rate is 30%. So, the tax based on taxable income is 280,000 * 30% = $84,000.

Step 2: Compare the tax based on taxable income with the estimated tax payments The estimated tax payments made by Cere Co is $50,000.

Since the tax based on taxable income (84,000)ismorethantheestimatedtaxpayments(84,000) is more than the estimated tax payments (50,000), Cere Co should report the higher amount as the income tax expense.

So, the income tax expense that Cere Co should report is $84,000.

Therefore, the answer is a. $84,000.
