Question

1. This year, GHJ Inc. received the following dividends: BP Inc. (a taxable California corporation in which GHJ holds a 2% stock interest) $6,000 MN Inc. (a taxable Florida corporation in which GHJ holds a 52% stock interest) 7,000 AB Inc. (a taxable Canadian corporation in which GHJ holds a 21% stock interest) 10,000 $23,000 a) Compute GHJ Inc.’s dividend-received deduction

Answer 1

Total dividends-received deduction = $17,550

Step-by-step explanation:

These can be computed as follows:

Dividend-received deduction on BP dividend = Dividend received from BP * 50% = $6000 * 50% = $3,000

Dividend-received deduction on MN dividend = Dividend received from MN * 65% = 7,000 * 65% = $4,550

Dividend-received deduction on AB dividend = Dividend received from AB * 65% = 10,000 * 100% = $10,000

Total dividends-received deduction = Dividend-received deduction on BP dividend + Dividend-received deduction on MN dividend + Dividend-received deduction on AB dividend = $3,000 + $4,550 + $10,000 = $17,550
