Andrea would like to organize SHO as either an S corporation or as a C corporation generating a 9 percent annual before-tax return on a $200,000 investment. Assume individual and corporate tax rates are both 35 percent and individual capital gains and dividend tax rates are 23.8 percent (including the net investment income tax). SHO will pay out its after-tax earnings every year as a dividend if it is formed as a C corporation. Assume Andrea is the sole owner of the entity and she materially participates in the business.
