Answer 1

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

A. Chaz has a taxable dividend of $10,755 and the corporation has a deduction of $0.

It should be noted that the dividend will be taxable once it gets to the receivers hand while the corporation will have a deduction of 0

B. The corporate payment to Chaz totals $11472. Chaz has interest of $4302 and a note repayment of $7170 of which $4302 is taxable to Chaz. The corporation has a deduction of $4302

Notes:-

Interest = $71700 × 6%

= $71700 × 0.06

= $4302

Total repayment:

= First installment + Interest

= $7170 + $4302

= $11472
