Answer: $12717
Explanation:
1. The amount of FICA and/or self-employment tax that Dave is required to pay on his compensation and his
share of the KBS income if KBS is formed as a C corporation, will be:
= 7.65% × $75000
= 7.65/100 × $75000
= 0.0765 × $75000
= $5738
2. As an S Corporation will be:
= 7.65% × $75000
= 7.65/100 × $75000
= 0.0765 × $75000
= $5738
3. As a limited liability company will be:
Dave's compensation = 75,000
Dave's portion of income will be calculated as:
= 50% × $30,000
= 0.5 × $30,000
= $15,000
Total will then be:
= $75000 + $15000 = $90000
We then calculate the net earnings which will be:
= 92.35% × $90000
= 0.9235 × $90000
= $83115
The FICA and/or self-employment tax that Dave is required to pay will then be:
= 15.3% × $83115
= 0.153 × $83115
= $12717
None of those presentation methods solve problems

Currently the corporation bond yield a higher rate than the State of New york (4.76% against 4.10%)
