Gift Shop UBIT.
A local exempt organization that trains at-risk youth for employment has an annual operating budget of $300,000, which includes revenues from operating a gift shop in a nearby hotel lobby. Gift shop sales results in a profit of $15,000. The organization has $6,500 of endowment income that it earns on permanently restricted net assets. The income from both the gift shop and the endowment is used to support the organization's exempt purpose. The balance of $278,500 required for annual operations is provided through public support and changes for service.
a. Calculate the UBIT if the corporate tax rate is 15 percent on the first $50,000 of net income and 25 percent on the next $25,000 of income.
b. Assume that the endowment income is reinvested rather than being used to support annual operations. Calculate the amount of unrelated business income.
