Answer: $2,000
Step-by-step explanation:
When a corporation owns less than 20% of another corporation, only 50% of the dividend it receives can be used as a deduction.
In this case, Jazz owns less than 10% of Mitchell and so can use 50% of $10,000 as a deduction:
= 50% * 10,000
= $5,000
However, Jazz incurred a loss of $2,000 which means that they will only need to deduct that $2,000 from the allowable $5,000.
