Answer: $40,000

Explanation:

As this is a manufacturing company, they are exempt of Accumulated earnings tax of the amount of $250,000. Anything above that will be subject to an Accumulated Earnings tax rate of 20%.

Accumulated Earnings tax = 20% * (450,000 - 250,000)

Accumulated Earnings tax = 20% * 200,000

Accumulated Earnings tax = $40,000
