In: Accounting
Clarence Corporation has one hundred (100) shares of stock outstanding which are owned by Shirley and Deidra who are unrelated. Shirley owns forty (40) shares of the stock and Deidra owns sixty (60) shares of the stock. Clarence Corporation redeems twelve (12) of Shirley’s shares of stock for $800 per share. Shirley paid $200 per share for her stock three (3) years ago. Assuming Clarence Corporation has significant Earning And Profit (E&P), which of the following is correct regarding the Stock Redemption?
Shirley has Long -Term Capital Gain of $7200/-
As shirley has paid $200 per share, now she is receiving $800 per share.
So Profit is $(800-200) = $600
Total Number of Share Redemption is 12 share
Therefore, 12 share * $600 = $7200/- Long term Profit.
