The dividends from a 5% owned subsidiary A are taxed in full.

The dividends from subsidiary B are taxed less the $20,000 refund.

THe dividends from subsidiary C are taxed in full.

The total taxable dividends for Falcon Ltd are $150,000 + $70,000 + $60,000 = $280,000

The corporate tax rate is 27.5%. The tax to be paid will be 27.5%*$280,000 = $77,000
