What are the consequences of tax for the distribution  liquidating to Jake and Scarlet Corporation

Then,

The Long-term capital loss (Scarlet Corporation recognize) = Fair market value - Basis

The Long-term capital loss (Scarlet Corporation recognize) = $390,000 - $425,000

The Long-term capital loss (Scarlet Corporation recognize) = $35,000

The Long-term capital gain (Jake recognize) = (Fair market value of land - Liability) - Basis of stock

The Long-term capital gain (Jake recognize) = ($390,000 - $250,000) - $60,000

The Long-term capital gain (Jake recognize) = $80,000

However, the Jake considered the basis of $390,000 (Land).

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
