    correct option is a) 10.2%; $2,245,000

    Explanation:

    given data

    Gross dividends = $2,500,000

    tax rate = 34%

    inter company dividends = 70%

    to find out

    effective tax rate and net dividends

    solution

    Effective tax rate = (1 - Exclusion) * (Tax rate) ... 1

    Effective tax rate = (1 - 0.70) * (0.34)

    Effective tax rate = 10.2 %

    and

    net dividends = Gross dividends - Tax ... 2

    net dividends = $2,500,000 - [ $2,500,000 (1 - 0.70) * (0.34) ]

    net dividends = $2,500,000 - $255,000

    net dividends = $2,245,000

    so correct option is a) 10.2%; $2,245,000
