question 33

Essay

In the current year, Ho Corporation sells land that has a $6,000 basis and a $10,000 FMV to Henry, an unrelated individual. Henry makes a $2,500 down payment this year and will pay Ho $2,500 per year for the next three years, plus interest on the unpaid balance at a rate acceptable to the IRS. Ho's realized gain is $4,000. Since Ho is not in the business of selling land, it will use the installment method of accounting. How does this transaction affect Ho's E&P in the current year and the three subsequent years?
