Expert Solution

(a)

Ans - 0$
A corporation cannot deduct dividend it distributes to it's shareholders because Dividend is not an expense of the company. It is part of profit that it has earned from the business it has conducted and has chosen that part to distribute to shareholders. So dividend being a profit part cannot be deducted. Thus Marathon did not deduct any part of dividend to determine it's taxable Income.

(b)

Ans - $2082.5
Since Guy's marginal ordinary tax rate is 37%, so his dividends will be taxed at 20% and Net investment tax rate is 3.8%. Thus Guy's Dividend will be taxed at (20% + 3.8% ) 23.8% tax rate.
=> Tax Payable = Dividend received by Guy X Dividend tax rate
=> Tax Payable = $8750 X 23.8%
=> Tax payable = $2082.5

(c)

Ans - $2756.25
Little rock corp being a C Corp will be taxed at the rate of 21% corporate rate on Taxable part of Dividend Income.
But 50% of dividend received is deductible
So, taxable dividend = (Total Dividend X 50%) = ($26250 X 50%) = $13125
=> Tax Payable = Taxable Dividend X Tax rate
=> Tax payable = $13125 X 21%
=> Tax payable = $2756.250
