Step by step solution

01

Definition of Income Tax

The fee charged on the income earned by a business or individual is known as income tax. Net income is calculated after adjusting the fees paid to the government.

02

Estimated Total Income Before Tax

Calculation of gross profit to revenue recognized ratio

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Gross}\mathrm{profit}\mathrm{to}\mathrm{revenue}=\frac{\mathrm{gross}\mathrm{profit}}{\mathrm{revenue}} \\ =\frac{\$19,500}{\$65,000} \\ =0.30 \end{gathered}$$

Calculation of total income before tax:

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Total}\mathrm{income}\mathrm{before}\mathrm{tax}=\mathrm{contract}\mathrm{price}\times \mathrm{gross}\mathrm{profit}-\mathrm{revenue}\mathrm{ratio} \\ =\$1,000,000\times 0.30 \\ =\$300,000 \end{gathered}$$
