FMV Adjusted Basis Appreciation
Cash $ 200,000 $ 200,000
Building 50,000 10,000 40,000
Land 150,000 90,000 60,000
Total $ 400,000 $ 300,000 $ 100,000

Under the terms of the agreement, Shauna will receive the $200,000 cash in exchange for her 50 percent interest in WFI. Shauna's tax basis in her WFI stock is $50,000. Danielle will receive the building and land in exchange for her 50 percent interest in WFI. Danielle's tax basis in her WFI stock is $100,000. Assume for purposes of this problem that the cash available to distribute to the shareholders has been reduced by any tax paid by the corporation on gain recognized as a result of the liquidation. (Leave no answer blank. Enter zero if applicable. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)
