Tailor Johnson, a U.S. maker of fine menswear, has a subsidiary in Ethiopia. This year, the subsidiary reported and repatriated earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of 232 million Ethiopian birrs. The current exchange rate is 8.9635 birrs/dollar or S=$0.1116/birr. The Ethiopian tax rate on this activity is 26%. U.S. tax law requires Tailor Johnson to pay taxes on the Ethiopian earnings at the same rate as on profits earned in the United States, which is currently 41%. However, the United States gives a full tax credit for foreign taxes paid up to the amount of the U.S. tax liability.

What is Tailor Johnson's U.S. tax liability on its Ethiopian subsidiary? (Round to two decimal places.)
