At the beginning of the current year, both Doug and Amelia each own 50% of Amaryllis Corporation (a calendar year taxpayer). In July, Doug sold his stock to Kevin for $140,000. At the beginning of the year, Amaryllis Corporation had accumulated E& P of $240,000 and its current E & P is $280,000 (prior to any distributions). Amaryllis distributed $300,000 on February 15 ($150,000 to Doug and $150,000 to Alfred) and distributed another $300,000 on November 1 ($150,000 to Kevin and $150,000 to Alfred). Kevin has dividend income of: a. $150,000.b. $140,000.c. $110,000.d. $70,000.e. None of the above.

Kevin has dividend income of:

a. $150,000.

Explanation:

Kevin became a 50% shareholder of Amaryllis in July.  So, Kevin is entitled to receive 50% of any distributions made by Amaryllis from the July date.  Since Amaryllis distributed $300,000 on November 1, Kevin will receive a dividend income equivalent to $150,000 from Amaryllis.  The remaining 50% goes to his partner in business.  Kevin could not be entitled to the distribution made on February 15, by which date he was not yet a shareholder of Amaryllis.

start by isolating the variable on one side by adding 43w^2 to both sides.   the equation will read:

25w^2+5=0

*subtract 5 from both sides*

25w^2=-5

*divide both sides by 25*

w^2=-1/5

*take the square root of both sides*

w=√(-1/5)

the square root of -1 is i.   the square root of 5 remains √5

the answer is i/√5.

hope this
