  • Yvonne and Simon form Ion Corporation. Yvonne transfers equipment (basis of $110,000 and fair market value of $165,000). Simon invests $130,000 of cash. They each receive 100 shares in Ion Corporation, worth $130,000, but Yvonne also receives $35,000 of cash from Ion. Calculate Ion Corporation’s basis in the equipment. In addition, determine Yvonne and Simon’s basis in the Ion stock.

Yvonne received cash, Ion Corporation subject to section 351 treatment.

The gain which is recognized for Yvonne is the lower of the realized gain and the boot. The realized gain is $55,000 and the boot is $35,000 so the recognized gain for Yvonne is $35,000

Yvonne’s basis of stock is $110,000

Ion’s stock basis is $145,000

Simon’s stock basis is $130,000
