b. Sharrod's suspended loss.
c. Sharrod's new basis in the Kaiwan stock.

Answer 1

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Sharrod's deductible loss.

= Beginning stock + Long term capital gain - Cash distribution

= $55000 + $8250 - $33000

= $30250

b. Sharrod's suspended loss.

Beginning stock + Long term capital gain - Ordinary loss - Cash distribution

= $55000 + $8250 - $33,275 - $33000

= -$3025

c. Sharrod's new basis in the Kaiwan stock.

Sharrod's new basis in the Kaiwan stock is 0.
