T and its shareholders are considering a sale of the business. Purchaser Corporation (P) is interested in acquiring T. Assume that C corporations are taxed on all their income at a flat corporate rate of 21% and individuals are taxed at a flat 35% rate on ordinary income and a 15% rate on long-term capital gain.

What are the tax consequences of the following alternative acquisition methods to T, T’s shareholders and P?

(a) T adopts a plan of complete liquidation, sells all of its assets (except the cash but subject to the bank loan) to P for $800,000 cash, and distributes the after-tax proceeds to its shareholders in proportion to their stock holdings.

Purchaser Corporation (P):

(b)T adopts a plan of complete liquidation, distributes all of its assets (subject to the liability) to its shareholders in proportion to their stock holdings, and the shareholders then sell the assets (less any cash but subject to the bank loan ) to P for $800,000.

Target Corporation (T):

T’s Shareholders:

A:

B:

C:

Purchaser Corporation (P):

(c) In general, how would the results in (a), above, change if P paid T $200,000 cash and $600,000 in notes, with market rate interest payable annually and the entire principal payable in five years?

Target Corporation (T):

T’s Shareholders:

A:    

B:

C:

Purchaser Corporation (P):

(d) T sells all of its assets (except for the cash but subject to the bank loan) to P as in (a), above, except that T does not liquidate and instead invests the after-tax sales proceeds in a portfolio of publicly traded securities.

C.  

Purchaser Corporation (P):

(e)(2) Why didn’t P pay $1,000/share for the T stock?

Target Corporation (T):  

T’s Shareholders:

A:

B:

C:

Purchaser Corporation (P):

(g) Assuming P and T are indifferent to the form of the transaction, would you recommend the acquisition method in (a) (purchase of assets) , (e) (purchase of stock with §338 election) or (f) (purchase of stock without §338 election), above?

(h) Would your recommendation in (g), above, change if T had $600,000 in NOL carryovers?

(i) Assume that T is a wholly-owned subsidiary of S, Inc., and S has a $200,000 adjusted basis in its T stock. What result if T distributes all of its assets (subject to the liability) to S in complete liquidation, and S then sells the assets to P?

Quick—where’s the nearest Starbucks coffee shop? Down the block, at the airport, in your office building? Seems like they’reeverywhere, doesn’t it? With more than 8,000 locations world. ide and long-run plans to grow to 25,000, new stores open at a rate ofabout 3.5 stores per day. This explosive growth means Starbucks, which doesn’t franchise, must carefully train its personnel in eachlocation on the fine points of serving a product that demanding customers expect to be consistent all day, every day. Their secret? Notjust fine coffee; it’s close attention to fundamental cost accounting principles.The store manager in your local Starbucks probably doesn’t look like an accountant. Yet behind the coffee bar, she receives andreviews a number of key reports that focus her attention on the standards set by corporate headquarters in Seattle. Even when a newStarbucks store opens down the street and cannibalizes 30% of the existing stores’ sales, the manager knows that, in the broaderpicture, it means lower delivery costs, shorter customer lines, and increased foot traffic for all stores in the area.The typical Starbucks menu offers bulk coffees in the bold, smooth, and mild categories; classic drinks such as frappuccinos, andcoffees and espresso drinks with prices ranging from $1.40 for a tall freshly brewed coffee to S4.45 for a high-end iced venti whitechocolate mocha. Depending on store location, a single barista (the person making the drinks ( may serve about 20 drinks per hour,generating somewhere in the neighborhood of $60 to $80 an hour in revenue. The costs behind those revenues are primarily baristalabor, starting at S7.75 an hour (increasing to more than S8.00 after a year); and materials, or ingredients such as coffee, milk, and

flavorings. Overhead for store leases, utilities, insurance, water, and other costs are reported to the store manager, but they’re onlyheld accountable for variations in the labor costs and ingredient costs.Chances are good you are one of the millions of people who queue up 18 times a month for your pricey coffee fix. Maybe you evenlinger to read the paper, hold a meeting, or use the in-store wireless network. Starbucks wants you to come back repeatedly, not onlyfor its product offerings, but because they deliver solid customer service and consistency as a result of strict adherence to their statedstandards, morning to night, around the globe.

QUESTIONS1. Assume each Starbucks store tracks direct labor and direct material costs for each of its drinks, with the standard costs for a singlegrande cappuccino as follows:

Labor $0.40

Coffee 0.70

Dairy products 0.35

Cup and lid 0.07

Stirrers,

napkins 0.03

1. Suppose actual output for one week is 1,000 grande cappuccino drinks. The actual total cost of coffee used to make thesedrinks was S730. The manager of the store has no control over the price paid for the coffee provided by Starbucks— this is a predetermined price. What is the total direct materials variance for coffee for this drink? Is this a price or an efficiency variance? Is it favorable or unfavorable? Why?
