Answer:

B) $1.98  

Explanation:

Corporate tax = $4.50×35%

                       = $1.575

Personal tax = $2.00×20%

                     = $0.40.

Total amount of taxes = Corporate tax + Personal tax

                                     = $1.575 + $0.40

                                     = $1.98

Therefore, The total amount of taxes paid if the company pays a $2.00 dividend is $1.98
