Question

Jamal purchased equipment and used materials to develop a patent. The development costs were deducted on prior returns. The bases and fair market values of the assets are presented below.

Assets   Fair Market Value   Basis
Equipment   $350,000     Cost $350,000
          Less: depreciation (250,000)
Patent   250,000       0
    $600,000       $100,000

Sarah has made an offer to purchase the assets. Under one plan, she would pay $200,000 now and $400,000 plus interest at 5% (the Federal rate) in one year. Alternatively, Jamal would incorporate the assets and then sell the stock to Sarah. Incorporating the assets would not be a taxable event to Jamal, and his basis in the stock would equal his basis in the assets of $100,000. The corporation's basis in the assets would also be $100,000, the same as Jamal's basis for the stock. Because the corporation would have a basis in the assets of less than the fair market value (and therefore, there would be less depreciation and amortization than with an asset sale by Jamal), Sarah would pay $200,000 in the current year but only $350,000, plus interest at 5%, in one year. Assume that Jamal's combined Federal and state marginal tax rate is 35% and his combined capital gain tax rate is 20%.

In your computations, round the gross profit to four decimal places before converting to the percentage. (For example: .754788 would be rounded to .7548 and used as 75.48%.) Use rounded gross profit in subsequent computations. If required, round your final answers to the nearest dollar.
