Answer: Harper is associated with Bazaar and is entitled to claim an SBD of $57,000.
As Harper controls Bazaar, the two corporations are associated.
They will share the $500,000 small business limit.
Because Bazaar has claimed $200,000 (38,000/0.19) of the small business limit,
the balance of $300,000 is available to Harper. $300,000 × 19% = $57,000
