Question

BJT Corporation is owned 40 percent by Bill, 30 percent by Jack, and 30 percent by the Trumpet Partnership. Bill and Jack are father and son. Jack has a 10 percent interest in Trumpet Partnership. What is Jack’s total direct and constructive ownership of BJT Corporation under Section 267?

Answer 1

33%

Step-by-step explanation:

By virtue of been having 10% interest in Trumpet Partnership, Jack has a 10% share out of 30 percent owned by Trumpet Partnership (0.10 * 30=3%).

Additionally, his own 30 percent is still pay of his direct and constructive ownership of BJT Corporation, thus making his total direct stand at 33%.
