RATIONALE: Dunkel's income is $100,000 and the U.S. operations income is $400,000 . Accordingly, the total U.S. taxable income is $500,000 . The U.S. tax on this amount is $175,000 ($500,000 × 35%). The German branch income is all general basket income. The FTC limit in this basket is $35,000 . Because the actual foreign income taxes are $40,000, Dark's FTC is limited to $35,000 . Accordingly, Dark's net U.S. tax liability is $140,000 ($175,000 – $35,000).
