47. LO.4 Alicia and Rafel are in the process of negotiating a divorce agreement to be
finalized in 2019. They both worked during the marriage and contributed an
equal amount to the marital assets. They own a home with a fair market value of
$400,000 (cost of $300,000) that is subject to a mortgage of $250,000. They have lived
in the home for 12 years. They also have investment assets with a cost of $160,000
and a fair market value of $410,000. Thus, the net worth of the couple is $560,000
($400,000 – $250,000 + $410,000). The holding period for the investments is longer
than one year. Alicia would like to continue to live in the house. Therefore, she
has proposed that she receive the residence subject to the mortgage, a net value of
$150,000. In addition, she would receive $17,600 each year for the next 10 years,
which has a present value (at 6% interest) of $130,000. Rafel would receive the
investment assets. If Rafel accepts this plan, he must sell one-half of the investments
so that he can purchase a home. Assume that you are counseling Alicia. Explain to
Alicia whether the proposed agreement would be "fair" on an after-tax basis.
