Answer 1

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

Alpha reported =  $200,000

withdrew = $30,000

corporate income tax rate = 30%

personal income tax rate = 15%

SOLUTION:

we get here total amount of tax collect as

total amount of tax collect = Alpha reported amount × personal income tax rate  ...............1

put here value

total amount of tax collect = $200,000 × 15%

total amount of tax collect = $30,000

here no corporate  tax required  and partner is taxed on share of total partnership income regardless of amount withdrawn

so the correct answer is $30,000
