1. Marathon Inc. (a C corporation) reported $1,000,000 of taxable income in the current year. During the year it distributed $100,000 as dividends to its shareholders as follows:

$15,000 to Guy a 10% individual shareholder.

$5,000 to Little Rock Corp. a 10% shareholder (C corporation)

$80,000 to other shareholders.

Assuming Guys marginal ordinary tax rate is 35%, how much tax will he pay on the dividend he received from Marathon Inc. assuming that the additional 3.8% net investment tax applies?

2. For the current year, Custom Craft Services Inc. (CCS), a C corporation, reports taxable income of $225,000 before paying salary to Jaron the sole shareholder. Jarons marginal tax rate on ordinary income is 33 percent and 15 percent on dividend income. Assume CCSs tax rate is 34 percent. How much total income tax will Custom Craft Services and Jaron pay (combining both corporate and shareholder level tax) on the $225,000 of income if CCS pays Jaron a salary of $150,000 and distributes its remaining after-tax earnings to Jaron as a dividend (ignore the net investment income tax)? Answer is not 175178.57.
