1.66

Explanation:

From the question above, S corporation earns $2.07 per share before taxes are paid.

$2.07 is received for each share

The marginal tax rate is 20%

= 20/100

= 0.2

Therefore, the amount of shares that is left after payment of taxes can be calculated as follows

Amount of shares left = Price per share - (Price per share*tax rate)

= $2.07 - ($2.07*0.2)

= $2.07-0.414

= 1.66

Hence the amount of shares left after taxes have been paid is 1.66
