c. $ 4,420

Explanation:

In this question, we do the calculations based on the personal tax and corporation tax. So, the computation is shown below:

The profit before tax is $2,000,000

And, it holds 1% if the stock So,

The value would be = $2,000,000 × 1% = $20,000

After applying the corporate tax rate of 34%, the value would be = $20,000 - $20,000 × 34% = $20,000 - $6,800 = $13,200

After applying the personal tax rate of 35%, the value would be = $13,200 - $13,200 × 35% = $13,200 - $4,620 = $8,580

And, the personal tax rate is 35%, so after tax value would be:

= Value - Value × personal tax rate

= $20,000 - $20,000 × 0.35

= $20,000 - $7,000

= $13,000

Now subtract the both values after considering personal tax rate which equals to

= $13,000 - $8,580

= $4,420

the answer is d) it provided irrigation for farming.
