Pendleton Company (a U.S. taxpayer) is a highly diversified company with wholly owned subsidiaries located in South Korea and Japan. The South Korean operation manufactures electric generators that are sold in the Asian market. It generated pretax income of $200,000 in the current year. The Japanese subsidiary is an investment company that makes passive investments in the Japanese financial markets. The Japanese subsidiary generated pre-tax income of $100,000 in the current year. Both companies distribute 100 percent of after-tax income to Pendleton Company as a dividend each year. Effective income tax rates and withholding rates are provided in Exhibits 11.1,11.3, and 11.4.
Required:
