a.
The investors might or might not be satisfied with this outcome. They have averted the requirements of Sec. 351, that allows Eric to acknowledge a $150,000 capital loss. Even though Florence needs to acknowledge $25,000 of usual income, Wildcat may devalue the machinery’s FMV of $25,000. In case Eric may use the $150,000 loss to balanced out capital gains from other sources, he might be pleased with this outcome. In case Florence is in a low income tax bracket, she may not mind that she needs to acknowledge $25,000 of usual income. But, if Eric doesn't have capital gains and can't use the $150,000 capital loss, averting Sec. 351 might not be a desirable outcome. This is particularly true in case Wildcat intends to subdivide the land then sell it, thus making usual income soon.
In case Sec. 351 used, Wildcat’s basis in the land would be restricted under the Sec. 362(e)(2) reduction principles to $50,000, its FMV. But, Eric and Wildcat Corporation might make a selection under Sec. 362(e)(2)(C) so that the land would have a $200,000 carryover basis to Wildcat and, thus, way less income for Wildcat to report in the future years. In such scenario, Eric’s basis would be restricted to his stock’s FMV of $50,000 as opposed to the $200,000 basis in the property contributed. In case he isn't planning to sell his share in the near future, this reduction may not matter. Additionally, Florence could avert acknowledging $25,000 of usual income on the equipment. On the contrary, the equipment would have a zero basis to Wildcat, and for that reason Wildcat wouldn't be permitted any devaluation on the equipment. So far as George is concerned, it makes no impact on him if Sec. 351 applies or not. The end result to him is identical in either case.
b.
When the investors choose that satisfying the Sec. 351 requirements would create a better tax advantage, they may go ahead in a number of ways. For instance:
1. The organization could provide George 150 shares of stock worth $15,000 and $10,000 of bonds. In such scenario Eric and Florence would have a lot more than 80% (750/900 = 0.83) of the share.
2. Florence and Eric each might contribute an additional $15,000 for 150 shares of stock. In such scenario, Eric and Florence would have a lot more than 80% (1,050/1,300 = 0.808) of the share.
3. George might contribute $2,500 of cash along with his services for 25 more shares. Therefore, he would be a property contributor permitting all his shares to count in the 80% test. In such scenario, Eric, Florence, and George would have 100% of the share.
