Income 365,000
LESS: Interest Charges (50,000)
ADD: Dividends received 4,500 (30% of 15,000)
Taxable income: 319,500
*In addition, 70% of dividends received are excluded from taxes 15,000 (1-.7) = $4,500
Tax 22,250 + 0.39 (319,500 – 100,000)
22,250 + 85,605 = 107,855
After Tax Income:
Taxable Income 319,000
