Arthur and Paulette formed Holly Corp. as an S corporation this year, with each shareholder contributing $13,000 in exchange for stock. In addition, Paulette loaned Holly $9,000, and the corporation borrowed another $11,000 from the bank. This year, Holly incurred a $30,000 operating loss. In the next year, Holly will earn $24,000 of operating income and make a $11,500 operating distribution (in cash) to each shareholder.   What is each shareholder’s stock basis at the end of this year and next year?   What is Paulette’s debt basis at the end of this year and next year?   What (pass-through) items do each shareholder report this year and next year?

Redbud Corp. is considering the acquisition (for cash) of Shumard Corp. It reviews two options: (1) Redbud purchases the assets from Shumard, or (2) Redbud purchases the Shumard stock and makes a Sec. 338 election shortly after the stock purchase. Assume Shumard’s balance sheet reflects substantial unrealized gains and that Shumard has no NOL or capital loss carryovers.   What advantages would Redbud realize if it purchased the assets directly, and what disadvantages would Shumard realize if it sold the assets to Redbud and then liquidated?   What is the most significant advantage for Redbud of making a Sec. 338 election with the purchase of the Shumard stock?   If Shumard incurred a significant NOL this year (that may not be carried back), would Redbud be more or less likely to make a Sec. 338 election? Why?
