Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the federal income tax ramifications are shown below:
At the corporate level, the capital gain is
= Worth of the land - the purchased value of the land four years ago
= $240,000 - $160,000
= $80,000
Since there is four shareholders, so the amount each shareholder held is
= $80,000 ÷ 4
= $20,000
And, the David stock basis drop is
= David basis in S corporation stock - land worth + amount of each shareholder
= $270,000 - $240,000 + $20,000
= $50,000
