Answer 1

The correct response will be:

(a) 15%, 21%

(b) 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Otter Company would be entitled to subtract a dividend received equal to 50% including its dividends it obtained. For the continued membership including its dividends, these will pay an income tax of 21 percent.

• The organization would then expect to be paid 21 percent tax mostly on the remaining part including its dividend while the federal income rate that is applied to it would be 21 percent.
• A business but with much less than 20 percent investment is given just 50 percent including its allowance as well as the additional dividend revenue is exempted from taxes of 21 percent.

(b)

Gerald would have all the split ones in sales. At either the 15 percent rate, he is going to pay tax.
