In: Accounting
The Dawg corporation owns 13% of Company A and 23% of Company B. Dividends received from Company A were $104,000 and from Company B were $243,000. If Dawg's "adjusted" taxable income is $2,000,000, calculate Dawg's taxable income after including the dividend information.
In case of 13% owning:
Since this is less than 20%, there will be 70% deduction.
Therefore, the deduction amount = Dividends × 0.70
= $104,000 × 0.70
= $72,800
In case of 23% owning:
Since this is more than 20%, there will be 80% deduction.
Therefore, the deduction amount = Dividends × 0.80
= $243,000 × 0.80
= $194,400
Total deduction = 72,800 + 194,400 = $267,200
This is to be deducted from income to the answer.
Taxable income = Adjusted income – Total deduction
= $2,000,000 - $267,200
= $1,732,800 (Answer)
