1. Charlie Corporation transfers $700,000 stock and land with a value of $200,000 (basis of $95,000) to Sebago for most of its assets. The only asset not acquired in the Type A reorganization, a crane, is distributed to Sebagos shareholder, Betty. The crane is valued at $285,000 (basis of $300,000), and is subject to a $165,000 liability, which Betty assumes. Charlie stock and the land also are distributed to Betty in exchange for her stock in Sebago. Bettys basis in her stock is $630,000. What is the gain or loss recognized by Charlie, Sebago, and Betty on this restructuring

Answer/Explanation:

1. Charlie: Asset revalued

Asset            Old Value        New Value       Gain        Loss

Land               200,000          95,000                ­          105,000

Crane             285,000         300,000          15,000       ­

Total loss recognized by Charlie = $105,000 ­ $15,000 = $90,000

2. Sebago: Asset revalued

Asset          Old Value           New Value         Gain            Loss

Stock          700,000               630,000               ­               70,000

Land           200,000               95,000             105,000          ­

Total gain recognized by Sebago = $105,000 ­ $70,000 = $35,000

3. Betty: Asset revalued

Asset           Old Value         New Value           Gain                Loss

Crane           285,000           300,000                 ­                   15,000

Stock            700,000           630,000              70,000               ­

Total gain recognized by Betty = $70,000 ­ $15,000 = $55,000

the answer is: c.that person might be arrested and deported

filling w-4 form incorrectly usually would rise suspicions from government's auditors. when they notice such mistakes, they would send their teams to investigate the situation further.

if those investigation teams believe that the incorrectness is done on purpose (with malicious intent), that person can be arrested or deported
