Answer 1

Cougar, Inc. has a book loss of $14,000. Johnny's ending stock basis is $34,900. Cougar's ending AAA balance is $56,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cougar, Inc.'s book income or loss can be calculated by subtracting the expense items from the revenue items. The nonseparately stated ordinary income of $80,000 is included in the revenue. Subtracting the expenses such as salary paid to Johnny, charitable contributions, cost of goods sold, administrative expenses, and selling expenses, and adding the other income items, such as tax-exempt interest, dividends received, and depreciation recapture income, results in a book loss of $14,000.

Johnny's ending stock basis can be calculated by adding his beginning stock basis, additional stock purchases, and his share of the company's income. Subtracting any distributions and his share of any losses gives the ending stock basis. In this case, Johnny's ending stock basis is $34,900.

Cougar's ending AAA balance can be calculated by adding the beginning AAA balance, nonseparately stated ordinary income, and separately stated income items such as tax-exempt interest and depreciation recapture income. Subtracting the separately stated deductions such as charitable contributions and the separately stated loss items such as the short-term and long-term capital losses gives the ending AAA balance. In this case, Cougar's ending AAA balance is $56,000.
