- Abaco is planning to acquire Cozumel Airlines, a freestanding C corporation, in the expectation that new management can be brought in to achieve substantial operating efficiencies. You have been retained to advise Abaco on how to structure the acquisition. Two graduate school friends, Monique and Denise, own Cozumel Airlines. Together, they have a $1 million basis in their Cozumel Airlines stock. Both Monique and Denise have held their Cozumel Airlines stock for several years but must sell their stock for nontax reasons. Cozumel Airlines' tax-basis balance sheet contains $14 million of assets, no liabilities, and no net operating loss carry-overs. All parties agree that Cozumel Airlines would be worth $20 million to Abaco with no step-up in Cozumel's inside (asset) basis, but $21.25 million if its inside (asset) basis was stepped up to fair market value. Monique and Denise each face a 40% tax rate on ordinary income and a 20% tax rate on capital gains.The corporate tax rate is 35%.…arrow_forwardAbaco is planning to acquire Cozumel Airlines, a freestanding C corporation, in the expectation that new management can be brought in to achieve substantial operating efficiencies.

TransWorld's analysts project the post-merger data for GCC (in thousands of dollars) gathered in the Excel Online file below. If the acquisition is made, it will occur on January 1, 2018. All cash flows shown in the income statements are assumed to occur at the end of the year. GCC currently has a capital structure of 40% debt, but Trans World would increase that to 50% if the acquisition were made. GCC, if independent, would pay taxes at 20%; but its income would be taxed at 30% if it were consolidated.
