Bulldog Corporation reported taxable income of $925,000 this year, before any deduction for any payment to its sole shareholder and employee, Georgia Brown. Bulldog chose to pay a bonus of $153,000 to Georgia at year-end. The bonus meets the requirements to be "reasonable" and is therefore deductible by Bulldog. Georgia is subject to a marginal tax rate of 35 percent on the bonus. What is the income tax imposed on the corporate income earned by Bulldog and the income tax on the bonus paid to Georgia

    The computation is shown below:

    Corporate tax = (Taxable income - bonus expenses) * corporate tax rate

    = (925,000 - $153,000) * 21%

    = $162,120

    The corporate tax rate is 21% and we take the same for computation

    Shareholder tax = Bonus expenses * marginal tax rate

    = $153,000 * 35%

    = $53,550

    So, the total income tax would be equal to

    = $162,120 + $53,550

    = $215,670
