Valencia Corporation, a U.S. corporation, has 2003 taxable income from U.S. sources of $300,000 and from foreign sources of $120,000 before considering the impact of foreign taxes. It paid $20,000 of foreign taxes during 2003.

a. If Valencia's foreign taxes are not creditable, calculate its U.S. tax liability for 2003.
If Valencia's foreign taxes are not creditable but deductible then taxable income is $300,000 plus $120,000 less $20,000 which is $400,000. The applicable taxation rate is 34% and this gives us a U.S. tax liability of $136,000.
