Celeste transferred 100 percent of her stock in Supply Chain Company to Marketing Corporation in a Type A merger. In exchange, she received stock in Marketing with a fair market value of $715,000 plus $715,000 in cash. Celeste's tax basis in the Supply Chain stock was $1,580,000. What amount of loss does Celeste recognize in the exchange and what is her basis in the Marketing stock she receives

Answer and Explanation:

In the case when there is a tax deferred exchange so no loss would be recorded

The Stock basis  is

= Carryover Basis - Cash received

= $1,580,000 - $715,000

= $865,000

In the case when it sold for $715,000 so she received a loss of

= $865,000 - $715,000

= $150,000

hi : ) i found this so i hope this !

"we first find value of tax in dollars.

the difference between the two prices   is: 23. 54 - 22 = 1.54

therefore the sales tax in dollars is 1.54

the tax % will be   (amount of tax / original cost price ) × 100

(1.54 / 22) × 100  → (0.07) × 100 =   7

so the tax rate is 7%

we can double check the answer.

7 % of 22   → (7/100) × 22 → 0.07 × 22 = 1.54

22 + 1.54 = 23.54"
