Answer:

The tax currently owed to the U.S. government is:

$18,900

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Income generated by the foreign subsidiary = $1,000,000

Tax paid by the subsidiary in its country of residence = $400,000

Dividend paid to the U.S. parent = $54,000

Federal tax rate = 35%

Tax on the dividend = $18,900 ($54,000 * 35%)

b) The dividend of $54,000 is a foreign-source income earned by a U.S. parent corporation. This is this amount that will be subject to tax in the U.S. and not the net income of the subsidiary.
