Answer:
As per the technical rule for the application of DIvidends Received Deduction (DRD), if a Corporation receives Dividend from another corporation, then the Payee (Recepient) can take DRD deduction, and it depends upon the percentage of Ownership.
If the Ownership percentage is less than 20%, then DRD = 70% of the Dividends received.
Here, Pervifloia,Inc. has owned only 15% of stake in other company.
So, DIvidends Received Deduction= income before deduction- Deduction %
= 70% ($1,53,000) = $1,07,100.
Working note:
Income before deduction = Gorss Profit -Expenses+Dividends
=$403,000-$410,000+$160,000
=$153,000
