a. $56.000

Explanation:

Westside is entitled to a 70% DRD, so income is $70.000 - $14.000 DRD.

What is DRD? The dividends received deduction (DRD) is a federal tax deduction in the U. S. that is given to certain corporations that get dividends from related entities. The amount of the dividend that a company can deduct from its income tax is tied to how much ownership the company has in the dividend-paying company.
