Question
This problem is from Federal income taxation of corporations and shareholders 7th edition by James S. Eustice. Problem 5A(9).
Facts from problem 5A (1)
A owns all of the stock of X. The stock's basis is $100. X has a total of current and accumulated earnings and profits of $50. X distributes $200 cash to A"with respect to his stock (i.e., as state law "dividend").
problem assumption: The stock of X is owned equally by two shareholders: Y (an individual with a stock basis of $100) and A (an individual with a stock basis of $40). X uses the accrual method, A and Y use the cash method, and all use the calendar year. Assume 1059 does not apply. Use a 34 percent corporate tax rate in this problem. X has always been an S corporation.
During the current year, X accrued income and expense as follows:
Gross income from business $500
Dividendes on AT&T (consider &243) $100
Interest on municipal bonds (&103) 100
Capital gain 100

Noncapital expense not deductible under & 162(e) $90
