You are a shareholder in a C corporation. The corporation earns $ 2.41 per share before taxes. Once it has paid taxes it will distribute the rest of its earnings to you as a dividend. Assume the corporate tax rate is 35 % and the personal tax rate on (both dividend and non-dividend) income is 30 %. How much is left for you after all taxes are paid?
The corporation earns $2.41
The amount of corporate taxes paid is :
= $2.41 * 0.35
= $0.8435
The amount left after paying the corporate taxes,
= $2.41 - $0.8435
= $1.5665
The amount of personal taxes paid is :
= $1.5665* 0.3
= $0.47
So, the amount left after paying for the personal taxes are,
= $1.5665 - $0.47
= $1.0966
So, the amount left for me is $1.1 (rounded off to the nearest cent).
