    The correct answer for (A) is $575,000 and for (B) is $715,000.

    Explanation:

    According to the scenario, given data is:

    Cardinals income (excluding dividends) = $500,000

    Dividend received = $250,000

    E & P beginning balance = $150,000

    interest income from municipal bonds = $35,000

    interest paid = $20,000

    Federal taxes paid = $200,000

    So,

    (A) Taxable income = Income + Dividend received

    where, Assume cardinal Corp. entitled for 70% DRD than,

    Dividends received = $250,000 - $175,000 = $75,000

    Hence, Taxable income = $500,000 + $75,000

    = $575,000

    (B) E & P balance = (E&P beginning balance + Taxable income + DRD + Interest Income) - (Interest paid + Federal taxes paid)

    = ($150,000 + $575,000 + $175,000 + $35,000) - ($20,000 + $200,000)

    = $715,000
