Floyd, a cash basis taxpayer, has received an offer to purchase his land. The cash basis buyer will pay him either $100,000 at closing or $50,000 at closing and $56,000 two years after the date of closing. If Floyd recognizes the entire gain in the current year, his marginal tax rate will be 25% (combined Federal and state rates). However, if he spreads the gain over the two years, his combined marginal tax rate on the gain will be only 20%. Floyd does not consider the buyer a credit risk, and he understands that shifting the gain to next year with an installment sale will save taxes. Still, he realizes that the deferred payment will, in effect, earn only $6,000 for waiting two years for the other $50,000. Floyd believes he can earn a 10% before-tax rate of return on his after-tax cash. Floyd's adjusted basis for the land is $25,000, the buyer also is a cash basis taxpayer, and the short-term Federal rate is 4%. Floyd has asked you to evaluate the two alternatives on an after-tax basis. Round computations to the nearest cent and use in subsequent computations. When required, round final answers to the nearest dollar.

a. For Option 1 determine the following:

1.Recognized gain: $75,000 (answer confirmed correct)

2.After-tax cash proceeds: $81,250 (answer confirmed correct)

3.After-tax cash proceeds compounded for 2 years:$

b. For Option 2 determine the following:

1.Imputed interest on the $56,000 for two years at 4%: $

2.Total selling price under Option 2: $101,775 (answer confirmed correct)

3.Round the gross profit to 4 decimal places and enter as a percentage. (For example: .53379 would be rounded to .5338 and entered as 53.38). Gross profit percentage: %
