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 $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. a. Jamal's recognized gain in the vear of sale from the installment sale of his assets is $ 450.000
