A C corporation earns $4.30 per share before taxes. The corporate tax rate is 35%, the personal tax rate on dividends is 20%, and the personal tax rate on non-dividend income is 39%. What is the total amount of taxes paid if the company pays a $3.00 dividend?
Ans :
Corporate tax = Earnings before tax * corporate tax rate
= $ 4.3 * 35 %
= $ 1.505
Person tax on dividend = $ 3 * 20%
= $ 0.6
Total tax = $ 1.505 + 0.6
= $ 2.105
