Jacob Corcoran bought 10,000 shares of Grebe Corporation stock two years ago for $24,000. Last year, Jacob received a nontaxable

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that :

Jacob Corcoran bought 10,000 shares of Grebe Corporation stock two years ago for $24,000.

Last year, Jacob received a nontaxable stock dividend of 2,000 shares in Grebe Corporation, and

In the current tax year, Jacob sold all of the stock received as a dividend for $18,000.

The objective is to prepare a memo for the tax research file describing the tax consequences of the stock sale.

From the tax research file:

The gain on the sale of the 2,000 shares is calculated by the difference from the sales price and the shares sold.

I.e $24000 - $18000 = $6000

The tax rate on the $2000 = Purchase price of the shares/ (Original shares bought + new shares)

The tax rate on the 2000 shares = $24000/($10000+$2000)

The tax rate on the 2000 shares= $24000/$12000

The tax rate on the 2000 shares= $2 / shares

The Gain in the share = selling price - tax basis in the 2,000 new shares

The Gain in the share = $18000 - $4000

The Gain in the share = $14000

∴

This is the long capital gain i.e $14000

The memo in summary goes thus:

The amount of $24000 is being paid by you for 10000 shares of stock in Grebe Corporation in which a stock dividend of 2000 was received. However, the share is sold for $18000, the tax basis is deduced by dividing $24000 purchasing price by $12000(original price + new shares price) which resulted into a $2/ shares. The $14,000 gain on the sale is a long-term capital gain. The gain on the sale is long term because the original Grebe stock has been held for more than one year.
