Let's break down the information and **complete the balance sheet** at formation **with tax basis** using the exhibits provided. --- ## **Step 1: Analyze the Contribution Table** From the **Contribution Table**: | Shareholder | Noncash property (FMV) | Liability assumed by Corp. | Basis in contributed property | Cash contributed | Cash distributed to shareholder | |-------------|------------------------|---------------------------|------------------------------|------------------|-------------------------------| | Jones | 60,000 | 30,000 | 20,000 | 80,000 | | | Mitchell | 40,000 | | 40,000 | 20,000 | | | Carey | | | | 30,000 | | | Gorman | 70,000 | | 70,000 | | | --- ## **Step 2: Calculate Asset Values for the Balance Sheet** - **Cash**: - Jones: $80,000 - Mitchell: $20,000 - Carey: $30,000 - Gorman: $ - **Total cash = $80,000 + $20,000 + $30,000 + $ = $130,000** - **Property contributed**: - Jones: $60,000 (FMV) - Mitchell: $40,000 (FMV) - Gorman: $70,000 (FMV) - **Total property (FMV) = $60,000 + $40,000 + $70,000 = $170,000** - **Total assets (FMV) = Cash + Property = $130,000 + $170,000 = $300,000** --- ## **Step 3: Liabilities** - From the table, only Jones's property comes with a liability: $30,000. - **Total liabilities = $30,000** --- ## **Step 4: Stockholders' Equity** - Given as $200,000 in the balance sheet (from the template and total equity should be assets - liabilities = $300,000 - $30,000). --- ## **Step 5: Tax Basis Column** - **Cash**: Total cash contributed: $130,000 - **Property contributed**: - Jones: Basis $20,000 (from table) - Mitchell: Basis $40,000 (from table) - Gorman: Basis $70,000 (from table) - **Total property tax basis = $20,000 + $40,000 + $70,000 = $130,000** - **Total assets (tax basis) = Cash (tax basis) + Property (tax basis) = $130,000 + $130,000 = $260,000** - **Liabilities (for tax) = $30,000** - **Stockholders' equity (tax basis) = $260,000 - $30,000 = $230,000** --- ## **Step 6: Fill in the Balance Sheet Table** | | Balance Sheet | Tax Basis | |-------------------------------------- |:------------:|:---------:| | Cash | $130,000 | $130,000 | | Property contributed by: | | | |    Jones | $60,000 | $20,000 | |    Mitchell | $40,000 | $40,000 | |    Carey | $ | $ | |    Gorman | $70,000 | $70,000 | | **Total assets** | $300,000 | $260,000 | | **Liabilities** | $30,000 | $30,000 | | **Stockholders' equity** | $200,000 | $230,000 | | **Total liabilities and equity** | $230,000 | $260,000 | **But the balance sheet must balance, so:** **Stockholders' equity (balance sheet)** = Total assets - Liabilities = $300,000 - $30,000 = $270,000 So, correct the **Stockholders' equity** in balance sheet column to **$270,000**. --- ## **Final Table** | | Balance Sheet | Tax Basis | |-------------------------------------- |:------------:|:---------:| | Cash | 130,000 | 130,000 | | Property contributed by: | | | |    Jones | 60,000 | 20,000 | |    Mitchell | 40,000 | 40,000 | |    Carey | | | |    Gorman | 70,000 | 70,000 | | **Total assets** | 300,000 | 260,000 | | **Liabilities** | 30,000 | 30,000 | | **Stockholders' equity** | 270,000 | 230,000 | | **Total liabilities and equity** | 300,000 | 260,000 | --- ### **Explanation Summary** - **Cash**: Sum of all cash contributed - **Property (FMV)**: From Contribution Table, by shareholder - **Property (Tax Basis)**: From Contribution Table, by shareholder - **Liabilities**: Only Jones's property has a liability - **Stockholders' equity**: Remainder to balance the sheet --- ## **Final Answer Table** | Item | Balance Sheet | Tax Basis | |------------------------------------- |:------------:|:---------:| | Cash | 130,000 | 130,000 | | Jones (property) | 60,000 | 20,000 | | Mitchell (property) | 40,000 | 40,000 | | Carey (property) | | | | Gorman (property) | 70,000 | 70,000 | | **Total assets** | 300,000 | 260,000 | | **Liabilities** | 30,000 | 30,000 | | **Stockholders' equity** | 270,000 | 230,000 | | **Total liabilities & equity** | 300,000 | 260,000 | If you need the numbers to be filled in specific cells, just copy them from the table above.
