Riverwalk Corporation is liquidated, with Juan receiving $5,000 in money, other property having a $6,000 FMV, and a $1,000 mortgage on the property. Juan's basis in his River walk stock is $8,000. Upon liquidation, Juan must recognize a gain of:.A) 0.B) $2,000.C) $3,000.D) $11,000.

The correct option is B,$2000

Explanation:

The gain on the cash and property received by Juan can be computed thus:

Cash received                      $5,000

Property less mortgage:

Property value  $6000

Mortgage          ($1000)         $5000

Total                                        $10,000

less stock basis                       ($8,000)

gain on stock                           $2,000

Option A is since the value of cash and property received is not $8,000 which gives a no gain  no loss outcome.

Option C is wrong since the property mortgage of $1000 must be deducted from the property before computing the gain or loss.

Option D is obviously wrong as the $11,000 is just the summation of property value of $6000 without considering mortgage and the cash received.

B) $2,000.

Explanation:

Juan's gain/loss = net distribution - basis

Juan's gain = $10,000 - $8,000 = $2,000

Even if Juan had previously transferred the property in a Section 351 exchange, he would still have to recognize a gain because the liquidation included other assets. If the liquidation had only included the land (e.g. FMV $11,000) and two years would have passed since the original Section 351 transfer, then Juan wouldn't have needed to pay taxes.

the correct answer is economics is a game without winners or losers.

unlike sports or games economic is a game without losers or winner rather it is a game where everyone wins. parties of business doing businesses exchange money with each other and hence exchange is done on the basis of goods. one party takes the goods and other sales it so there is winner on both sides. each party values more highly the good it gets than the good it gives up. both sides exchange only because both intend to increase their value. so there is no concept of lose or win.
