Rattler, Inc., an exempt organization, trains disabled individuals to design web pages. Rather than hold a traditional graduation exercise, the graduates compete in a web design contest. Such activities are held four times each year. An admission fee of $10 is charged to the general public to attend the contest. Eight hundred people attended the contest this year, and prizes of $2,000 were given to the top three graduates. Calculate the amount of Rattler's unrelated business income from this activity.

Correct Answer

The contest activity is not classified as an unrelated trade or business. To be so classified, the following characteristics must be present. ∙ The organization conducts a trade or business. ∙ The trade or business is not substantially related to the exempt purpose of the organization. ∙ The trade or business is regularly carried on by the organization. Based on the data provided, neither the "not substantially related" nor the "regularly carried on" characteristic is satisfied. Thus, Rattler incurs zero unrelated business income from the contest because the contest is not an unrelated trade or business.
