You are working as a tax consultant in Mayfield, NSW. Your client is an investor and antique collector. You have ascertained that she is not carrying on a business. Your client provides the following information of sales of various assets during the current tax year:

(a) Block of vacant land. On 3 June of the current tax year your client signed a contract to sell a block of vacant land for $320,000. She acquired this land in January 2001 for $100,000 and incurred $20,000 in local council, water and sewerage rates and land taxes during her period of ownership of the land. The contract of sale stipulates that a deposit of $20,000 is payable to her when the contract of sale is signed and the balance is payable on 3 January of the next tax year, when the change of ownership will be registered.

(b) Antique bed. On 12 November of the current tax year your client had an antique four-poster Louis XIV bed stolen from her house. She recently had the bed valued for insurance purposes and the market value at 31 October of the current tax year was $25,000. She purchased the bed for $3,500 on 21 July 1986. Although the furniture was in very good condition, the bed needed alterations to allow for the installation of an innerspring mattress. These alterations significantly increased the value of the bed, and cost $1,500. She paid for the alterations on 29 October 1986. On 13 November of the current tax year she lodged a claim with her insurance company seeking to recover her loss. On 16 January of the current tax year her insurance company advised her that the antique bed had not been a specified item on her insurance policy. Therefore, the maximum amount she would be paid under her household contents policy was $11,000. This amount was paid to her on 21 January of the current tax year.

(c) Painting. Your client acquired a painting by a well-known Australian artist on 2 May 1985 for $2,000. The painting had significantly risen in value due to the death of the artist. She sold the painting for $125,000 at an art auction on 3 April of the current tax year.

(d) Shares. Your client has a substantial share portfolio which she has acquired over many years. She sold the following shares in the relevant year of income:

(i) 1,000 Common Bank Ltd shares acquired in 2001 for $15 per share and sold on 4 July of the current tax year for $47 per share. She incurred $550 in brokerage fees on the sale and $750 in stamp duty costs on purchase.(ii) 2,500 shares in PHB Iron Ore Ltd. These shares were also acquired in 2001 for $12 per share and sold on 14 February of the current tax year for $25 per share. She incurred $1,000 in brokerage fees on the sale and $1,500 in stamp duty costs on purchase (iii) 1,200 shares in Young Kids Learning Ltd. These shares were acquired in 2005 for $5 per share and sold on 14 February of the current tax year for $0.50 per share. She incurred $100 in brokerage fees on the sale and $500 in stamp duty costs on purchase. (iv) 10,000 shares in Share Build Ltd. These shares were acquired on 5 July of the current tax year for $1 per share and sold on 22 January of the current tax year for $2.50 per share. She incurred $900 in brokerage fees on the sale and $1,100 in stamp duty costs on purchase.

(e) Violin. Your client also has an interest in collecting musical instruments. She plays the violin very well and has several violins in her collection, all of which she plays on HI6028 Taxation Theory, Practice and Law T2 2018 a regular basis. On 1 May of the current tax year she sold one of these violins for $12,000 to neighbor who is in the Queensland Symphony Orchestra. The violin cost her $5,500 when she acquired it on 1 June 1999. Your client also has a total of $8,500 in capital losses carried forward from the previous tax year, $1,500 of which are attributable to a loss on the sale of a piece of sculpture which she sold in April of the previous year.

Maureen owns all of the stock in Green Corporation. Green owns 10,000 shares of Micro Corporation,...

Maureen owns all of the stock in Green Corporation. Green owns 10,000 shares of Micro Corporation, whose value has increased by 1000% since they were purchased eight years ago. Maureen would like to have the shares distributed to her, but she wants to avoid the tax bill that would result if they were distributed as a dividend from Green Corporation. Her son, who is taking classes for his MBA, has suggested that she create Brown Corporation with herself as the sole shareholder, and have Green transfer the stock to Brown. Following this, Brown could be liquidated, and she would receive the Micro stock in return for her shares of Brown. This would achieve capital gains treatment for Maureen. Maureen is your client. What advice would you give her about this proposed transaction, and what authorities would you cite?

In 2018, Babcock Industries, a calendar year corporation, acquired a 10% interest in Caraway, Inc. for $65,000. Babcock appropriately used the fair value method to account for the investment.   At the beginning of 2021, Babcock acquired an additional 25% of the outstanding common stock of Caraway for $250,000. The following additional information is available at the date of purchase related to Caraway’s activity for the years 2018-2020:

Cumulative dividends paid by Caraway                                                          $150,000

Cumulative income reported by Caraway $400,000

Cumulative fair value adjustment in Babcock’s balance sheet

At 12/31/20 $ 35,000

Caraway’s balance sheet on the date of the additional purchase is as follows:

Accounts receivable         $100,000                                Mortgage payable                                $200,000

Inventories                             200,000

Building                                   400,000 Stockholders’ equity                          500,000

Total assets                             $700,000 Total liabilities and equity              $700,000

Babcock based its price for the additional 25% investment on the fact that Caraway has developed a patent that Babcock estimates is worth $300,000. The patent will expire in 10 years.

Subsequent to the investment, Caraway reports earnings of $200,000 and pays $90,000 in dividends. In addition, Babcock sells inventories to Caraway that cost $50,000 for a sales price of $80,000. At the end of 2021, 60% of the inventories are still held by Caraway.

Provide all journal entries needed to record each of the following:

-Babcock’s additional investment in Caraway at the beginning of 2021.

-Caraway reports total earnings of $200,000 for 2021

-Babcock adjusts Caraway’s earnings for amortization of the patent

-Babcock adjusts Caraway’s earnings for deferral of gross profit on the intercompany inventory sale

-Caraway pays total dividends of $90,000
