Answer 1

ANSWER

a).

Calculate the Fisafolia corporation's dividends received deduction for 2018.

Taxable Income = (Gross Income - operating expenses + Dividend received)

Taxable Income = ( $426,600 - $362,610 + $42,660 )

Taxable Income = $106,650

Since ownership in all corporations was 45%

Corporation's dividends received deduction = lower of ( 65% of Dividend received, 65% of Taxable Income)

Corporation's dividends received deduction = lower of (65%* $42,660 , 65%* $106,650)

Corporation's dividends received deduction = 65%* $42,660 = $ 27,729

b).

Assume that instead of $426,600 , Fisafolia Corporation has gross income from operations of $319,950.

Taxable Income = (Gross Income - operating expenses + Dividend received)

Taxable Income = ( $319,950- $362,610 + $42,660 )

Taxable Income = 0

If the dividends received deduction increases or creates a net operating loss, the limitation does not apply Since Taxable Income is zero, than limitation of Taxable income is not applicable

Since ownership in all corporations was 45%

Corporation's dividends received deduction = 65% of Dividend Received

Corporation's dividends received deduction = 65%* $42,660

Corporation's dividends received deduction = $ 27,729

c).

Assume that instead of $426,600, Fisafolia Corporation has gross income from operations of $350,000.

Taxable Income = (Gross Income - operating expenses + Dividend received)

Taxable Income = ( $350,000 - $362,610 + $42,660 )

Taxable Income = $30,050

As the dividends received deduction does not creates a net operating loss after deduction ($30,050- 65% of Dividend), the limitation shall apply. hence

Since ownership in all corporations was 45%

Corporation's dividends received deduction =lower of ( 65% of Dividend Recieved , 65% of Taxable Income)

Corporation's dividends received deduction = lower of ( 65% of 42,660 , 65% of $30,050)

Corporation's dividends received deduction = 65% of $30,050= $19,532.5
