the following transactions:
Income from operations $260,000 Expenses from operations 305,000
Dividends received from Roadrunner Corporation 115,000
Required: Determine Coyote’s dividends received deduction assuming
Coyote owns: a. 5% of Roadrunner’s stock. b. 25% of Roadrunner’s
stock Show your work.
A) If coyote owns a 5% of Roadrunner's stock:
Dividends received deduction ( $115,000*70%) = $80,500
B) If coyote owns a 25% of Roadrunner's stock:
Dividends received deduction ( $115,000*80%) = $92,000
Explanation:
There are three tiers of possible deductions. First, the general rule states that the Dividend Received Deduction(DRD) is equal to 70% of the dividend received. Second, if the company receiving the dividend owns more than 20% but less than 80% of the company paying the dividend, the DRD amounts to 80% of the dividend received. Finally, if the company receiving the dividend owns more than 80% of the company paying the dividend, the DRD equates to 100% of the dividend.
