. Z owns a rental building (its only asset) with a gross fair market value of $5,000 subject to the non-recourse mortgage of $2,000. Zs adjusted basis for this building is $1,500. All of Zs stock is owned by C, whose basis for his stock in Z is $500. Z had 1,000 of E&P. Z is on the accrual method of accounting and reports on the calendar year. Assume that the corporate tax payable by Z on $3,500 gained is$1250 and on $3,000 gained is $1,000. D agrees to pay Z an additional contingent amount for the building in order to induce Z to sell. The gross fair market value of Zs property is actually $5,000. D also agrees to give a Z contingent right to receive from D an additional $2,500 over 10 years if D earns profits from the building in excess of profits historically earned.
