FIRST 4 SUB-QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED:

  1. What is Green’s recognized gain on the distribution?

= Liability on investment+Basis of shares exchanged-FMV of the Investment

             = $550,000 – [($20,000/200) x 50) - $500,000

             = $55,000

  1. What is the increase in Green’s tax liability as a result of the distribution?

= Recognized gain x marginal tax rate

             =$55,000 x 0.21

             = $11,550

= Amount of Mortgage+Basis of shares exchanged

= 550,000 + 5,000

= $555,000

Since the distribution is at loss to the investor, no amount will be considered as dividend.
