AWMA Test Review 1 Questions & 100%
Correct Answers
If ABC Corporation has net profits of $100,000 and distributes $50,000 as

dividends, what is its taxable income?




A. $0

B. $25,000

C. $50,000

D. $100,000

✓ ~~> The net profits of a corporation are subject to federal income

taxation. This tax is levied on corporate taxable income before

payment of dividends to common and preferred shareholders. Thus, if

ABC Corporation has net profits of $100,000 and distributes $50,000 as

dividends, its taxable income is still $100,000. Distribution of profits as

dividends does not reduce taxable income for a corporation




Qualified Plans

✓ ~~> Meet the stringent requirements of the IRC as well as those of the

ERISA and therefore qualify for favorable tax treatment. In pension and

profit sharing plans an employee is generally not taxed on employer

contributions or accumulated earnings until the funds are actually

received from the plan. The employer receives a deduction at the time

of contribution. for qualified stock option plans the employee is not

taxed until it is sold.




Nonqualified plans

✓ ~~> Do not qualify for special tax treatment. They don't permit the

employer to take a deduction for plan contributions until the employee

reports income from the plan, which is often at retirement. Earnings not

tax deferred - earnings are taxed to the employer or employee

depending on the plans design




Nonqualified deferred comp plan

✓ ~~> Do not qualify for the same special tax treatment. They do not

permit the employer to take a deduction for plan contributions until the

employee reports income from the plan, which is often at retirement.

Also, the earnings on plan assets are not tax deferred; instead, earnings

are taxed to the sponsor(employer) or to the participant (employee),

depending on the plan design. The irs rules do permit an employee to

agree to defer income to a nonqualified plan and not be taxed on the

deferral until some point in the future if the 3 rules are followed.




Economic Benefit

✓ ~~> A taxpayer has income when he receives the economic benefit

of the proceeds. This occurs when the employer irrevocably places

funds for the benefit of the employee beyond the reach of the

employers creditors. Income is thus received if the employee does not

have actual or even constructive receipt.(applies to funded plans)




Corporate owned life insurance

✓ ~~> commonly used by employers to informally fund future benefit

obligations such as those promised under a deferred comp plan. As

the owner of the policies the employer is responsible for paying the

premiums. The employer is also the beneficiary of the policies and

retains all rights to policy benefits, including the cash value buildup and

the death proceeds.




COLI is attractive to employers because it

✓ ~~> 1. Provides psychological assurance to deferred comp plan

participants that their benefit are secure.

2. reduces strain on the companys cash flow when plan distributions are due

3. provides tax-deferred, and possibly tax free buildup of cash value; and

4. enables the employer to recover some/all of the plan costs.




Changes that have occurred since investment firms changed from private

partnerships to publicly traded companies include all of the following except:




A. risk taking has increased.

B. profits can be privatized (bonuses) and losses socialized (bailouts).

C. there is greater individual accountability.

D. partners no longer share in both the profits and losses of the firm.
