[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Shauna and Danielle decided to liquidate their jointly owned corporation, Woodward Fashions Incorporated (WFI). After liquidating its remaining inventory and paying off its remaining liabilities, WFI had the following tax accounting balance sheet:

	FMV	Adjusted Tax Basis	Appreciation
Cash	$ 230,000	$ 230,000
Building	46,000	23,000	23,000
Land	184,000	92,000	92,000
Total	$ 460,000	$ 345,000	$ 115,000

Under the terms of the agreement, Shauna will receive the $230,000 cash in exchange for her 50 percent interest in WFI. Shauna's tax basis in her WFI stock is $57,500. Danielle will receive the building and land in exchange for her 50 percent interest in WFI. Danielle's tax basis in her WFI stock is $115,000.
