ACCT 6353 CASE for Spring 2016 Facts:
1. Thomas and Robert are partners in a small successful restaurant. They want to expand but need
a new location. They think their business has a FMV of $2,000,000 (and has a basis of $200,000
to Thomas and a basis of $150,000 to Robert).
2. Jeff is a real estate broker and investor. He normally buys real estate and sells it quickly. He is
fully licensed as a real estate broker in Texas. Jeff has a vacant lot that he paid $1,500,000
several years ago. The FMV is currently $1,000,000. 3. Jeff has a big gain from his business this year and would love to offset it somehow but does not
know how to do so. Thomas and Robert do not want the transaction to cause them any gain this
year
4. Thomas and Robert approach Jeff about the following business proposition: the restaurant and
the land are contributed to a new corporation. Each gets 1/3 of the stock.
5. Jeff is not sure he likes that idea and instead offers to contribute the land for a 5 year note plus
3% annual interest, 15% of the stock and $300,000 in cash.
6. If #5 does not work- then Jeff would take $750,000 in preferred stock and $250,000 in cash but
would want a fixed 10% dividend, conversation to common rights and a liquidation preference.
