1. A, an individual, is an architect and general contractor. B is a wealthy individual. Newco's Certificate of Incorporation states that it is authorized to issue 200 shares, no par value of common stock. B transfers $500,000 of cash to Newco in exchange for 50 shares of Newco's stock. A signs a contract with Newco in which A will perform services designing a housing project and then acting as general contractor on the construction of that housing project. In exchange, A will receive 50 shares of Newco's stock. a. How will A be treated in this transaction? b. Suppose instead that A and Newco do not enter into a written contract. A transfers $500 in cash for 50 shares of Newco's stock while transfers $500,000 for 50 shares of Newco's stock. A then performs the architectural and contracting services for no further charge. Would this change your answer? 2. A transfers land to Newco in exchange for 100% of Newco's stock. The land has a basis of $50, FMV of $100 and is subject to a mortgage of $40. a. What are the consequences to each of the parties? b. Suppose in that the mortgage was placed on the property immediately before the transfer to Newco. A wanted cash in order to buy a yacht to be used for personal purposes, so he took out a mortgage on the land. Would this change your answer? C. Suppose instead that the mortgage was for $60. Suppose further that this mortgage was incurred on the purchase of the property many years ago. Would this change your answer? d. Same as (c) except that A also transfers accounts payable of $10. A is a cash basis taxpayer. How would this change your answer? 3. A, an individual, owns a widget business. A transfers this business to Newco in exchange for Newco stock worth $10 and 30-year bonds with a face and FMV of $90. How will the bonds be treated for tax purposes
