  Income each year is taken from interest or dividends first and then enough sold to make up the difference.  
  The corp tax is applied, RDTOH refunded, and then dispensed as capital dividends and ineligible dividends taxed personally.

  Post-tax value assumes all units sold and capital gains realized in a single year.  
  Those gains are added to base income and investment income for a personal income tax calculation.  
  For a corporate account, the corp tax is applied. Assumes that enough dividends are dispensed to release RDOTH.
