    B) $18,300

    Explanation:

    To determine the deferred income tax liability we must first find the undistributed earnings of SRS

    undistributed earnings of SRS = total net income - dividends paid = $415,000 - $110,000 = $305,000

    of the $305,000, 75% belongs to Marc, Inc. = $228,750

    Marc, Inc., can deduct up to 80% of the distribution earnings = $228,750 x 80% = $183,000

    So Marc's income = $228,750 - $183,000 = $45,750 x 40% tax rate = $18,300 deferred tax liability
