C and D organized Z Corporation 10 years ago, each contributing $40,000 and each receiving 400 shares of common stock.

In that year, five years ago, Z had accumulated E&P of $52,000 and current E&P of $12,000. In the current year, Z has accumulated E&P of $112,000 and current E&P of $8,000. In December of the current year, C sells all of his preferred stock to E for $36,000. In June of that same year, C had previously sold all of his common stock to F for $200,000. E is C's son.
