Fatima Marks · Answer 1

Statement 1 is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A corporate entity that is registered and conducts business in a different province or country than the residency of the controlling owners is known as a controlled foreign corporation (CFC).

In the U. S., the control of a foreign company is defined according to the percentage of shares owned by U. S. citizens.

Since the U. S. shareholders (the U. S. corporation and U. S. individual in this scenario) own more than 50 percent of the corporation's stock, then Boomerang is a CFC. The U. S. corporation and U. S. individual will have a deemed dividend equal to their pro-rata share of the corporation's subpart F income.

Therefore, statement 1 is the correct answer.
