Answer:
$13,000
Explanation:
Given that:
Jeremy operates a business as a sole proprietorship which uses a cash method of accounting. Now he is planning transfer them into a new corporation in exchange for its stock.
The assets are :
$10,000 of accounts receivable with a zero basis
have a basis of $20,000 and an FMV of $40,000
Liabilities
payable of $12,000
The note payable on medical equipment is $7,000.
Therefore , Jeremy's basis for his stock is : $20,000 -$7,000 = $13,000
since that will reduce the basis by amount of the note payable.
The liabilities payable will be deducted and taken care of by the corporation.
Answer:
(a) $18,000
(b) $3,600
Explanation:
(a) Profit would be:
= (No. of shares × Undervalued) - (No. of shares × Overvalued)
= (1,800 × $16) - (1,800 × $6)
= $28,800 - $10,800
= $18,000
(b) Only half your order will be filled.
With rationing (and being an uninformed investor) we expect our profits:
= (No. of shares × Undervalued) - (No. of shares × Overvalued)
= (900 × $16) - (1,800 × $6)
= $14,400 - $10,800
= $3,600
A. is the only appropriate answer.
