For 2009, what amount from Bow should be included in each S/H's gross income?a. 140Kb. 100Kc. 60Kd. 40K

Answer 1

Answer:

option (b) 100K

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Total number of share holders = 3

Taxable income and current earnings and profits = 300K

Distributions made during 2009 = 120K

Now,

Since the  shareholders are equal shareholders in Bow Inc,

Therefore,

The amount from Bow that should be included in each S/H's gross income will be

= ( Taxable income and current earnings and profits ) ÷ (Number of share holders)

= 300K ÷ 3

= 100K

Hence,

the answer is option (b) 100K
