*Generally dividend revenue is not taxed or only 30% of it sis taxed. Since we were told to apply 20% income tax to all items, I didn't calculate it separately. But if you calculate it separately, then income taxes would be $1,156 lower (total $57,608) and net profit would be higher (total $236,212).
