Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ Corporations earn most of their income from operations; however, they may also receive interest and dividend income. Interest income is taxed as ordinary income; however, dividend income is taxed more favorably. 50% of dividends received is excluded from taxable income, while the remaining 50% is taxed at the ordinary tax rate. For businesses, Interest v payments are regarded as an expense so they are tax deductible; however, dividend payments are not tax deductible. Consequently, our tax system encourages debt financing over equity v financing. Depreciation expense is tax deductible, so the larger the depreciation, the lower the taxable income, the lower the taxes, and the higher the firm's operating cash flow.
