what happens if petrel instead sells the property at its fair market value, used $70,000 of the proceeds to pay off the liability, and then distributed the remaining cash and any tax savings to juan?

Respuesta :

If Petrel had sold the business property at its fair market value, it would have a recognized loss  of $150,000 (290,000 - 140000).

Commercial Distributions :

Distributions made by the pot to its shareholders are treated as follows

  1. As taxable dividend income to the extent of advanced of
  • Current Earning & Profit( CEP) or
  • Sum of Current Earning & Profit and Accumulated Earning & Profit before distribution

2.  Remaining tip to the extent of shareholders base are treated as non-taxable return of capital which reduces the shareholder's base

3. Tip in excess of E&P and shareholder base are taxable capital gain distributions.

Simplification of Profit :

First we need to calculate the Current Earnings and Profit :

      Particulars                                                            Amount

Current year taxable income                                  320,000

Less: Installment sale in the previous year                     16,000

Less: Federal Income tax liability disallowed            67,200

Less: Life insurance premium paid for an officer     4,500

Add : Proceeds from the life insurance of an officer     150,000

Current Earnings and Profit                                              382,300

Analyzing the given data :

Given Accumulated Earning & Profit = $85,000

Thus Sum of Current Earning & Profit and Accumulated Earning & Profit before distribution =$467,300

Also, when an appreciated property is distributed to a shareholder as tip, property is distributed to the shareholder at Fair Market Value and the gain is honored by the pot. still losses are deductible except in the event of complete liquidation of the company.

Thus in the given case, quantum of tip distribution = Acclimated base of the land- Mortgage value =  $290,000 - $70,000

                                                    = $220,000

Thus the E & P of Petrel Corporation after the property distribution is  $ 247,300 (467,300 - 220,000)  on December 31.

still, it would have a honored loss of $ 150, 000( 290 , 000 - 140000 ) If Petrel had vended the business property at its fair request value.

Net proceeds from the property after paying off the loan of $70,000 = $140,000 - $70,000 = $70,000

duty saving on the trade of property at loss =  $150,000 × 21% = $31,500

After paying off the loan and any levies associated with the trade, Juan receives a tip of $101,500 (70,000 + 31,500).

The E & P of Petrel Corporation after the property trade and distribution of cash to Juan is $365,800 (467,300 - 101,500)
