XYZ Corporation owns 50% interest in ABC Corporation. Denise, Nancy’s mother, owns 40% interest in ABC Corporation. Under the constructive ownership rules of Sec. 318, Nancy is considered to own how much of ABC Corporation

Answer 1

Answer:

20%

Explanation:

Ownership of XYZ Corp. in ABC Partnership = 100% of ABC Partnership * Percentage owned by XYZ Corp.

= 100% * 50%

= 50%

Ownership of Nancy = Interest in ABC Partnership + Ownership of XYZ Corp. in ABC Partnership * Interest of Nancy In XYZ Corp.

= 10% + (50% * 20%)

= 10% + 10% = 20%
