Problem:

Kold Corporation estimates that its 2015 taxable income will be $900,000. Thus, it is subject to a flat 34 percent income tax rate and incurs a $306,000 tax liability. For each of the following independent cases, compute the minimum quarterly estimated-tax payments that will be required from Kold to avoid an underpayment penalty. Show your work.

Required:

Question 3: For 2013, taxable income was $2 million, and tax liability was $680,000. For 2014, taxable income was$200,000, and tax liability was $68,000.
