Answer 1

C. $13,356

Step-by-step explanation:

Evan, a shareholder, owned 20% of Yorker's stock for 200 days and 25% of Yorker's stock for the remaining 165 days of the year (not a leap year).

Using the required per-day allocation method, Evan's share of the S corporation's ordinary income of $60,000 (rounded to the nearest dollar) is:

0.2 x 60,000 x (200 / 365) + 0.25 x 60,000 x (165/365) = $13,356.16
