Answer:

Both shareholder has $200,000 of dividend income resulting from the distribution.

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Now,

When the securities are issued, there will be a gain recognized  of $200,000 to Money Inc. thus, The $200,000 = $1 million - $800,000.

The AAA will increase by $200,000.

This  gain known will flow through to the two shareholders of Money Inc. as   50% is owned  by both shareholders and  the stock amount for each shareholder will be $200,000/2 = $100,000.

so, the basis of stock for each shareholder will increase by $100,000.

Now,

The distribution before AAA of securities the result will be  = 300,000+100,000+200,000 = $600,000.

Then,

A  $1 million distribution will be acted on first as coming first from AAA to the extent of $600,000.the amount balanced will be  $1 million - $600,000 = $400,000. This will be serve as coming from AEP.

so,

The AAA  is = 600,000 – 600,000 = 0.

The basis for each shareholder before distribution will be = 400,000+100,000+50,000 = 550,000.

The  portion of non taxable  of the above distribution = 300,000 from AAA.

Hence,the  basis = 550,000 – 300,000 =250,000

Therefore, each shareholder has $200,000 of dividend income resulting from the distribution.
