Solutions

Expert Solution

Part A

Smith Co.’s recognized gain = $6,000 (fair value - basis = $13000-$7000 = $6,000)

Therefore,

E&P created = $6,000

Thus, Chris recognizes dividend income of $6,000

Then, E&P is reduced by $13,000 or $6,000 whichever is less, and it is $6000

This procedure will bring E&P = $0.

Part B

Smith Co.’s recognized gain = $37,000 (fair value - basis = $58000-$21000 = $37,000)

Therefore,

E&P (increased) = $37,000

Then, E&P is reduced by $5,000 (value - liability = $58000-$34000 = $24000)

This procedure will bring E&P = $13,000 ($37000-$24000 = $13000)

Chris has dividend income = $13,000

Part C

Smith Co.’s recognized gain = $20,000 (total amount of appreciation = $25000-$5000 = $20000)

Therefore,

E&P (inceased) = $20,000

Then, E&P is reduced by $5,000 (value – cash received = $25000-$20000 = $5000)

This procedure will bring E&P = $15,000 ($20000-$5000 = $15000)

Chris’s dividend income = $5,000 ( the amount of the discount).
