    Answer and Explanation:

    Given:

    Taxable income = $500,000

    Total dividend = $100,000

    Tax rate on dividend = 15% = 15 / 100 = 0.15

    Note: Question is incomplete, flat rate tax of 34% is missing.

    Flat corporate tax rate = 34% = 34 / 100 = 0.34

    Computation:

    Corporate tax (Gopher Corporation) = Taxable income * Flat corporate tax rate

    Corporate tax (Gopher Corporation) = $500,000 * 0.34

    Corporate tax (Gopher Corporation) = $170,000

    Income tax on the dividend = Total dividend * Tax rate on dividend

    Income tax on the dividend = $100,000 * 0.15

    Income tax on the dividend = $15,000

    Total income tax = Corporate tax + Income tax on the dividend

    Total income tax = $170,000 + 15,000

    Total income tax = $185,000
