Example
A company anticipates an income before

20%. Determine the amount of the bonus if:
1.
Bonus is based on income before taxes
or bonus
2.
Bonus is based on income before taxes
(after bonus)
3.
Bonus is based on net income (after
taxes and after bonus)
5-16
Answers; B = Bonus
1. B = 0.12 * $400,000
B = $48,000
2. B = 0.12 * ($400,000 – B)
B = $48,000 – 0.12B
1.12B = $48,000
B = $42,857.14
5-17
Answers continued; T = Tax
3. B = 0.12 * ($400,000 – B – T)
B = $48,000 – 0.12B – 0.12T
T = 0.20 * ($400,000 – B)
T = $80,000 – 0.20B
B = $48,000 – 0.12B – 0.12 * ($80,000 – 0.2B)
B = $48,000 - 0.12B - $9,600 + 0.096B
B = $38,400 – 0.096B
1.096B = $38,400
B = $35,036.50
