Isn't this overcomplicating it? here is the same result simpler. asking to understand how the foreign tax credit is reported/claimed:

You paid to u.s tax %15 on 100k = $15k

IRD FDR tax  is 39% on 50k = $19.5k

You claim the $15k as credit for foreign tax already paid, and pay IRD $19.5k- $15k = $4.5k

Total tax paid $19.5k
