Question :

(TCO 2) Penguin Corporation, a C corporation, has two equal shareholders, Bob and Leo. Penguin earned $100,000 net profit during its first year of operations and paid a dividend of $50,000 to each shareholder. Before considering the dividend, Bob is in the 10% marginal tax bracket and Leo is in the 28% marginal tax bracket. Which statement is incorrect?

	Student Answer:		$100,000 will be subject to double taxation.
			Penguin could have avoided paying corporate tax if, instead of paying a dividend, it had paid Bob and Leo a salary of $50,000 each (assuming a $50,000 salary for each is reasonable).
			A preferential tax rate will apply to the dividend income of both Bob and Leo.
			If Penguin had paid Bob and Leo a salary of $50,000 each, Bob would have paid less federal income tax on his salary than Leo would have paid on his salary.
