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?
