Amy and Brian were investigating the acquisition of a tax accounting business, Bottom Line Inc. (BLI). As part of their discussions with the sole shareholder of the corporation, Ernesto Young, they examined the company's tax accounting balance sheet. The relevant information is summarized as follows: FMV Adjusted Basis Appreciation Cash $8,000 $8,000 Receivables $16,000 $16,000 Building $100,000 $50,000 $50,000 Land $215,000 $115,000 $100,000 Total $339,000 $189,000 $150,000 Payables $20,000 $20,000 Mortgage* $111,000 $111,000 Total $131,000 $131,000 * The mortgage is attached to the building and land. Ernesto was asking for $414,000 for the company. His tax basis in the BLI stock was $130,000. Included in the sale price was an unrecognized customer list valued at $130,000. The unallocated portion of the purchase price ($76,000) will be recorded as goodwill. Rather than purchase BLI directly, Amy and Brian will have their corporation, Spartan Tax Services (STS), acquire the business from Ernesto in a tax-deferred Type A merger. Amy and Brian would like Ernesto to continue to run BLI, which he agreed to do if he could obtain an equity interest in STS. As part of the agreement, Amy and Brian propose to pay Ernesto $207,000 plus voting stock in STS worth $207,000. Ernesto will become a 10 percent shareholder in STS after the transaction. c. What amount of gain or loss does Ernesto recognize if the transaction is structured as a Type A merger?
