Answer:
Explanation:
1. Nighthawk deduction for business interest assuming prior three-year period of $35,200,000 average gross receipts
As per the Tax Cuts Act of 2017, Nighthawk can deduct its Business interest income and up to 30% of its taxable income.
= 152,400 + (5,080,000 * 30%)
= $1,676,400
2. Assuming that Nighthawk has average gross receipts for the prior three-year period of $19,500,000, this would put them below the $25 million mark from the Act which means the deduction would be the entire business interest expense of $2,032,000.
