Explanation:

First Bank has some question as to the tax-free nature of $9 million of its municipal bond portfolio. This amount is excluded from First Bank’s taxable income of $65 million.

Management has determined that there is a 65% chance that the tax-free status of this interest can’t withstand scrutiny of taxing authorities.

Therefore the amount of the $9 million to be included in the taxable income will be 65% x $9 million =  $5,850,000

Assuming a 40% tax rate, the amount of income tax expense should the bank report will be 40% x ($65 million + $5.85 million) = $28.34 million
