X-Co. adopts a plan of complete liquidation and makes the following pro rata distributions to its shareholders (assume all are individuals): (A) Cash: $70,000; (B) Inventory: FMV $20,000 Basis $20,000 Mortgage $10,000; (C) Inventory: FMV $30,000 Basis $15,000 Mortgage $40,000; (D) Capital Asset: FMV $500 Basis $2,800; (Assume that X Co. acquired the property distributed to D in a Sec. 351 transfer 6 months before adopting the plan of liquidation when the FMV of the property was $800 and X Co.’s basis was $2,800). (E) Capital Asset: FMV $10,000 Basis $4,000. Each shareholder had a $1,000 basis in the X Co. stock.
THE GAIN OR LOSS RECOGNIZED BY
A is ?
B is ?
C is?
D is?
E is?
Answer:-
Answer A : $ 69000
calculations are as follows,
Cash received = 70000
Basis in stock = 1000
Gain = 70,000 - 1000 = 69000
Answer B: $ 10000 ordinary income.
Calculations are as follows,
Inventory (FMV) = 20000
Mortgage = 10000
Gain= 20,000 - 10,000 = 10,000
Answer C: -$10000
Calculations are as follows,
Inventory (FMV) = 30,000
Mortgage = 40000
Gain = 30,000-40,000 = -10,000
Answer D: $ -2300.
Calculations are as follows,
Inventory (FMV)=500
Mortgage = 2800
Gain = 500-2800 = -2300
Answer E: The gain is $ 9000.
Calculations are as follows,
Inventory (FMV)= 10000
Mortgage = 4000
Gain = 10,000 - 4,000 = 6,000
The basis for C is 15,000
Gain =15000 - 6000 = 9000
