    a. What is Riverbend's deductible DRD assuming it owns 10 percent of Hobble Corporation?

    $250,000 x 70% = $175,000

    c. What is Riverbend's DRD assuming it owns 51 percent of Hobble Corporation?

    $250,000 x 80% = $200,000

    d. Assuming the facts in part (c), what is Riverbend's marginal tax rate on the dividend?
