Annie is 55 yeаrs оld. She hаs а daughter, Faith, whо is 21. Annie is a dentist and a nоvelist. Annie has adjusted gross income of $500,000 annually. Faith has adjusted gross income of zero dollars annually (ignoring the following facts and proposals). Annie wrote a screen-play and has elicited interest from several publishers. One offered $500,000 for all rights in the play. Another offered $100,000 per year for stage only development rights (with 3 years guaranteed) (Annie would retain print publication rights and movie rights as well as the right to use the story-line and characters in future publications). Annie came to your firm with three proposals which the partner you work for wants you to analyze briefly: Annie gives the unpublished screen-play to Faith who then does whatever she wishes with it, but with the general understanding that Faith will accept one of the two offers. Annie lists Faith as a co-author and then accepts one of the two offers, dividing the proceeds with Faith fifty-fifty. Annie accepts the second offer and arranges for the publisher to pay Faith. Annie also gave her dental office equipment to Faith and now leases it back from Faith for $100,000 per year. If you have time, the partner wants you to comment on that arrangement. It is not part of your regularly assigned work. The partner will give you “extra credit” for a helpful analysis, if you have time, but will understand if you do not.
