To find the amount of tax paid for the year, follow these steps outline in detail:

1. Calculate the interest expense:
- Interest on debt capital is given as 5%.
- Debt capital is $100,000.
- Therefore, interest expense = 5% of [tex]$100,000 = $[/tex]5,000.

2. Calculate the taxable income:
- Income before interest and tax is $20,000.
- Taxable income = Income before interest and tax - Interest expense.
- Therefore, taxable income = [tex]$20,000 - $[/tex]5,000 = $15,000.

3. Calculate the tax paid:
- Tax rate is 30%.
- Tax = 30% of taxable income.
- Therefore, tax paid = 30% of [tex]$15,000 = $[/tex]4,500.

So, the amount of tax paid for the year is [tex]$\$[/tex]4500$.
