Explanation:

If a company owns less than 20% of the outstanding stock from another corporation, its DRD = 50% of the dividends received.

If a company owns 20% or more, but less than 80% of the outstanding stock from another corporation, its DRD = 65% of the dividends received.

If a company owns 80% or more of the outstanding stock from another corporation, its DRD = 100% of the dividends received.
