Answer:

overall pre tax rate on pre tax income is 49.71%

Explanation

For calculating the overall tax rate of the Crocker and Company we have to do a step wise calculation where the given info available to us is that CC has -

           taxable income of $550,000

           Jimmy's ordinary and dividend marginal tax rate are 37% and 23.8%

CC pre tax income = Taxable income deducted before distributing to Jimmy

                                                                    +

                                     Tax which is deducted on dividend given to Jimmy

where,

Taxable income deducted before given to Jimmy =

$550,000 - $550,000 x (1 - 34%)

= $550,000 - $550,000 x .66

= $550,000 - 363,000

= $187,000

Tax deducted on dividend given to Jimmy =

 ($550,000 - $187,000) x 23.8%

= $363,000 x .238

= $86,394

Now adding them

$187,000 + $86,394 = $273,394

Overall tax rate = $273,394 / $550,000

                            = .49708 ( multiply by 100 to make in percentage)

                             = 49.71%
