Answer:
Both shareholder has $200,000 of dividend income resulting from the distribution.
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Now,
When the securities are issued, there will be a gain recognized of $200,000 to Money Inc. thus, The $200,000 = $1 million - $800,000.
The AAA will increase by $200,000.
This gain known will flow through to the two shareholders of Money Inc. as 50% is owned by both shareholders and the stock amount for each shareholder will be $200,000/2 = $100,000.
so, the basis of stock for each shareholder will increase by $100,000.
Now,
The distribution before AAA of securities the result will be = 300,000+100,000+200,000 = $600,000.
Then,
A $1 million distribution will be acted on first as coming first from AAA to the extent of $600,000.the amount balanced will be $1 million - $600,000 = $400,000. This will be serve as coming from AEP.
so,
The AAA is = 600,000 – 600,000 = 0.
The basis for each shareholder before distribution will be = 400,000+100,000+50,000 = 550,000.
The portion of non taxable of the above distribution = 300,000 from AAA.
Hence,the basis = 550,000 – 300,000 =250,000
Therefore, each shareholder has $200,000 of dividend income resulting from the distribution.
