Exercise 5-16 (Algorithmic) (LO. 3) On January 1 of the current year, Rhondell Corporation has accumulated E & P of $146,000. Current E & P for the year is $438,000, earned evenly throughout the year. Elizabeth and Jonathan are sole equal shareholders of Rhondell from January 1 to April 30. On May 1, Elizabeth sells all of her stock to Marshall. Rhondell makes two distributions to shareholders during the year: a total of $233,600 ($116,800 to Elizabeth and $116,800 to Jonathan) on April 30 and a total of $408,800 ($204,400 to Jonathan and $204,400 Marshall) on December 31.

April 30 distribution of $233,600 | 0 (correct) | ||
December 31 distribution of $408,800 | $58400 (correct) |
Answer:
Accumulated EP = $146000
Current EP = $438000
Total EP = $584000
Distribution as on 30/04 = $233600
Distribution as on 31/12 = $408800
Total Distribution = $642400
Have to take care for = Total distribution - Total EP = %642400- $584000= $58400
From Current E&P | From Accumulated E&P | Treated as Return of Capital | |
April 30 Distribution of $233600 | $159273 | $74327 | (All Comes out of acc) |
December 31 distribution of $408800 | $278727 | $71673 | $58400 |
For April 30 Current E&P = 233600/ 642400 x 438000 = 159273
For April 30 From Accumulated E&P = 233600- 159273= 74327
For December 31 Current E&P = 408800/ 642400x 438000= 278727
For December 31 from Accumulated E&P = 408800- 278727- 58400(Take care amount ) = 71673
