Expert Solution

a) As per IRS rule, if a corporation receives dividend from a corporation having a stake of less than 20%, it will get 70% dividend received deduction. So, taxable dividend income is:-

= 100,000 - 100,000(70%)

= 30,000

Since, delta corporation falls in the bracket of 35%, his dividend income will be taxed at 20% (Because it is qualified dividend)

According to the Internal Revenue Service, an investor "must have held the stock for more than 60 days during the 121-day period that begins 60 days before the ex-dividend date" to be considered a qualified dividend.

So, gross income = Taxable income + Dividend income - Taxable loss

= 3000000+30,000-40,000

=2990000 which will be taxed as,

30000 @ 20% and 2960000 @ 35%.

b) If delta's taxable loss is $ 55,000:-

Gross income = 3000000+30000-55000

= 2975000 which will be taxed as,

30000 @ 20% and 2945000 @ 35%.
