Essay

Present Value Tables needed for this question. Tony is the sole shareholder of Create Corporation. Tony is a chemical engineer and has been working hard to create a unique product but has been unsuccessful. Thus, Create has accumulated an NOL of $240,000. This year she finally finds the right combination for a new cleaning product. Predicting that Create will be very profitable next year, Create borrows $250,000 to pay Tony the salary she rightly deserves. Next year, Create does become profitable, earning $100,000 before application of carryovers. Mega Corporation, a huge ($50 million value, 35% tax bracket) competitor, offers to purchase the patent from Tony for $750,000. Knowing that the Create's NOL should be useful to Mega, Tony suggests a restructuring where she receives $500,000 in Mega stock, Mega assumes all of Create's liabilities ($250,000), plus $75,000 cash for the NOL. Mega counter offers with cash for the NOL (to be determined), and $750,000 of stock. It will not assume any liabilities. How much would be the maximum cash offered by Mega for the NOL, assuming that Mega uses an 11% discount factor and the Federal long-term tax-exempt rate is 4%? If Tony accepts Mega's offer, what type of reorganization, if any, is this restructuring?
Mega should not pay more than $54,033 for the NOL. Use a "Type C" reorganization.
