Explanation / Answer

17) a.

because, in this problem the dividend received deduction (DRD) is equal to 70% of the dividend received

28000/40000*100 = 70%.

the company ownership is lessthan 20% the DRD is 70% of the dividend received.

18) c.

If Eagle claim owns 15% of Hawk's stock, the dividend received deduction is 70% of the dividend received.

$200000*70% = $140000

19) b.

the ownership of the company is less than 20% the dividend received deduction is 70% of the dividend received.

in this problem the orange claim owns 15% of the white stock; so the DRD is

$60000*70% = $42000.

It is not a valuable statement regarding the dividend received deduction. Others are correct.
