against debt basis ($40,000 × 35%) 14,000
Net cash flow in year 0 ($26,000)
The $49,000 share of undistributed corporate income in years 1 and 2 increased Amisha’s
basis in her Sultan note to $40,000 and her stock basis to $9,000. The repayment of the loan
in year 2 resulted in $42,470 net cash flow ($40,000 repayment + $3,800 interest - $1,330 tax
cost [$3,800 interest income × 35%]).
PV of year 0 net cash flow ($26,000)
PV of year 2 net cash flow
($42,470 × .890 discount factor) 37,798
NPV of cash flows $11,798
b. The $19,100 share of undistributed corporate income in years 1 and 2 increased Amisha’s
basis in her Sultan note to $19,100. The repayment of the loan in year 2 triggered a $20,900
capital gain taxed at 15%. Consequently, the repayment resulted in $39,335 net cash flow
($40,000 repayment - $3,135 capital gain tax + $3,800 interest - $1,330 tax cost [$3,800
interest income × 35%]).
PV of year 0 net cash flow ($26,000)
PV of year 2 net cash flow
($39,335 × .890 discount factor) 35,008
NPV of cash flows $9,008
c. Amisha’s share of corporate losses in years 1 and 2 had no effect on the zero basis in her
Sultan note. Consequently, when Sultan defaulted on repayment, Mrs. NG did not realize any
tax loss on the worthlessness of the note. The NPV of the cash flows associated with her loan
is ($26,000).
