Wait, are we sure the political donations are disallowed? Maybe they're considered a legitimate business expense in Country M. I'd better double-check the local tax laws. This is why I should have taken that Accounting 101 class in college. *sigh*

This is a tricky one, but I think I've got it. The key is to remember that disallowed expenses are added back to the taxable profit. So, the answer is definitely A) $234,384. Now, where's the nearest coffee shop? I need a break after all this tax math.

Hmm, I'm not sure about the political donations. Aren't those sometimes tax-deductible? I'll have to look into that. But the rest of the calculations seem correct, so I'm leaning towards A) $234,384.

So, we need to add those amounts back to the taxable profit before calculating the tax liability.

I agree with Cecily, because the total tax liability should be calculated based on the taxable profit and the standard corporation tax rate.
