1. Tax on dividends = 10,000 * 34% *30% = $1020
2. Option a, $15450
Taxable income = 250,000 - 100,000 - 50,000 - 20,000 = 80,000
Tax of first 50,000 - 50,000 *15% = 7500
Tax on next 25,000 - 25,000 *25% = 6250
Tax on 5000 ( 80000- 75000) = 5000 *34% = 1700
Income taxes to be paid = 7500 + 6250 + 1700 = 15450
