    Explanation:

    Gomez Trust

    a. (1/2*DNI $60,000)

    =$30,000

    b.$30,000

    c. First-tier of $30,000 to both beneficiarie in which First-tier distributions can be said to be those distributions which are often composed of trust accounting income that is required to be distributed currently.

    Hence there are no second-tier distributions because the tier system only accounts for the annual DNI amounts, and all of the $60,000 DNI are been distributed on the first tier.
