At that time, Clampett, Incorporated, had cash ($54,000), inventory (FMV $74,000, basis $37,000), accounts receivable (FMV $54,000, basis $54,000), and equipment (FMV $74,000, basis $94,000). In 2021, Clampett, Incorporated, sells its entire inventory for $74,000 (basis $37,000). Assume the corporate tax rate is 21 percent. Clampett, Incorporated's taxable income in 2021 would have been $1,000,000 if it had been a C corporation. How much built-in gains tax does Clampett, Incorporated, pay in 2021

Answer 1

$3,570

Step-by-step explanation:

Particulars FMV Basis Differences

Inventory $74,000 $37,000 $37,000

Accounts receivable $54,000 $54,000 $0

Equipment $74,000 $94,000 -$20,000

Taxable gain $17,000

Tax rate = 21%

So, Built-in gains tax = Taxable gain × tax rate

= $17,000 × 21%

= $3,570
