Question

Jody borrowed $25,000 from her controlled corporation for six months. She used the funds to pay her daughter's college tuition. The corporation charged Jody 3% interest. The Federal rate was 4%. Jody earned $3,500 of investment income for the year.
The imputed amount is $: __________.

Answer 1

Answer: $25,000

Explanation:

Amount borrowed = $25,000

Corporation interest = 3%($25,000)

= 3/100 × $25,000

= $750

Federal rate = 4%($25,000)

= 4/100 × $25,000

= $1,000

Total debt = $(25,000+750+1,000)

= $26,750

Jody earned $3,500 for the year. In six months, Jody'd earn 1/2 of $3,500 = $1,750

This means that $1,750 of Jody's income will go to Jody's controlled corporation account in six month.

The total inputed amount to be paid by Jody = Jody's total debt - Jody's income in six month

= $26,750 - $1,750

=$25,000
