Expert Solution

a. Basis for 1000 shares = $50 * 1000 = $50,000

Long term capital gain = Amount realized - Basis = $150,000 - $50,000 = $100,000

Tax rate is 15% for individual in the 32% tax bracket.

Tax liability = $100,000 * 15% = $15,000

b. If it doesn't qualify as a sale or exchange treatment, then any distributions will be treated as dividend income to the extent of E & P. Dividend is also taxed at the same rate as long term capital gain is taxed.

Tax liability = $150,000 * 15% = $22,500

c. Part (a) Long term capital gain for a corporate shareholder is taxed at the ordinary rates.

Tax rate for corporate = 21%
Long term capital gain = Amount realized - Basis = $150,000 - $50,000 = $100,000

Tax liability = $100,000 * 21% = $21,000

Part (b) Corporation would have dividend income of $150,000

Dividend received deduction is 80% as the stock ownership in Gray Corporation represented a 25% interest.

Dividend received deduction = 80% of $150,000 = $120,000

Taxable dividend = $150,000 - $120,000 = $30,000

Tax liability = $30,000 * 21% = $6,300
