Solutions

Expert Solution

a) Bonnie owns 60% before the redemption and 55.55% after the redemption (50/90).Thus, the redemption will fail the 50% test in 302(b)(2). Because Bonnie still has
control of the corporation after the redemption (more than 50%) the redemption will likely fail the not essentially equivalent to a dividend test under 302(b)(1).

b) Bonnie owns 60% before the redemption and 41.17% after the redemption (28/68). In addition, Bonnies share of the outstanding stock after the redemption has dropped
by more than 80% (80% x 60%= 48%) of her percentage ownership before the redemption (60% before and 41% afterwards). Thus, the redemption passes both
the 50% test and the 80% test in 302(b)(2). This means that Bonnie will treat her redeemed shares as though she sold them for $6,000 resulting in a capital gain of $2,800 ($6,000 [(32/60) x $6,000).

c) Clyde owns 40% before the redemption and 35.48% after the redemption (33/93). However, Clyde’s share ofthe outstanding stock has not dropped by more than 80%(80% x 40%= 32%) since his ownership percentage would have to be below 32%, and his ownership percentage is 35.48%. Thus, the redemption passes the 50% test but fails the 80% test in § 302(b)(2). This redemption might still qualify as a redemption not essentially equivalent to a dividend under § 302(b)(1). Clyde does not have control of the corporation(Bonnie does), and he has suffered a significant reduction in his ownership.
