You are a shareholder in a C corporation. The corporation earn $3 per share before taxes. Once it has paid taxes, it will distribute the rest of its earning to you as a dividend. The corporate tax rate is 35 % and the personal tax on (both dividend and non-dividend) income is 20%. How much is left for you after all taxes are paid?

The amount that remains is $ Per share

The money left for you is $1.56 per share.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The corporation earn $3 per share before taxes.

Earnings of the corporation = $3/share

The corporate tax rate is 35 % = 0.35

Therefore, the dividend paid per share = 3 * (1 - 0.35) = $1.95/share

The dividend is the personal income so taxed 20% = 0.20

Therefore,

Final amount received = 1.95 * (1 - 0.2) = $1.56/share

Hence, the money left for you is $1.56 per share.
