    The answer is: D) Crimson's dividends received deduction is $21,000

    Explanation:

    The dividends received deduction (DRD) allows a company that earns dividends from another company, to deduct those earnings (dividends) from its income tax.

    The three tiers of possible deductions are:

    If the company owns ≤20% of the second company, it can deduct 70% of the dividends received. If the company owns ˃20% but ≤80% of the second company, it can deduct 80% of the dividends received. If the company owns ˃80% of the second company, it can deduct 100% of the dividends received.

    Since Crimson owned 15% of the second company, then it can deduct 70% of the dividends it received, which equals $21,000 ($30,000 x 70%).
