Z owns a rental building (its only asset) with a gross fair market value of $5,000 subject to the non-recourse mortgage of $2,000. Z's adjusted basis for this building is $1,500. All of Z's stock is owned by C, whose basis for his stock in Z is $500. Z had 1,000 of E&P. Z is on the accrual method of accounting and reports on the calendar year. Assume that the corporate tax payable by Z on $3,500 gained is $1,250 and on $3,000 gained is $1,000. Z sells the building, subject to the mortgage, to D in the current year for $3,000 in cash. Z then liquidates, distributing all of the cash (remaining after paying its taxes) to C in cancellation of C's stock in the current year.

Transcribed Image Text:Z owns a rental building (its only asset) with a gross fair market value of $5,000 subject to the non-recourse mortgage
of $2,000. Z's adjusted basis for this building is $1,500. All of Z's stock is owned by C, whose basis for his stock in Z is
$500. Z had 1,000 of E&P. Z is on the accrual method of accounting and reports on the calendar year. Assume that the
corporate tax payable by Z on $3,500 gained is $1,250 and on $3,000 gained is $1,000. Z sells the building, subject to
the mortgage, to D in the current year for $3,000 in cash. Z then liquidates, distributing all of the cash (remaining after
paying its taxes) to C in cancellation of C's stock in the current year.
Same facts as above, except that D agrees to pay Z an additional contingent amount for the building in order to induce Z to
sell. The gross fair market value of Z's property is actually $5,000. D also agrees to give a Z "contingent" right to receive from
D an additional $2,500 over 10 years if D earns profits from the building in excess of profits historically earned.
O a. If the transaction is held open, Z will recognize $3,500 gain on the sale.
Ob. Upon collecting additional amounts from D, C will recognize additional capital gain.
OG Upon collecting additional amounts from D.. Z might also be expected to recognize additional gain, although Bittker &
Eustice apparently take a contrary position.
Od. None of the above.
Oe. All of the above, except D.
