   1. ABC’s estimated federal income tax payments made during the year totaled $200,000.
   2. The current-year tax depreciation expense on furniture and fixtures, the only asset owned by ABC, was $120,000. If ABC had used the alternative depreciation system (straight-line method), depreciation expense deducted would have been $50,000.
   3. ABC had tax-exempt interest income of $60,000 that was not been included in taxable income.
