Transcribed Image Text:Rex and Felix are the sole shareholders of Dogs and Cats Corporation (DCC). After several years of operations using the accrual
method, they decided to liquidate the corporation and operate the business as a partnership. Rex and Felix hired a lawyer to draw up
the legal papers to dissolve the corporation, but they need some tax advice from you, their trusted accountant. They are hoping you
will find a way for them to liquidate the corporation while minimizing their total income tax liability.
Rex has a tax basis in his shares of $60,000 and Felix has a tax basis in his shares of $30,000. DCC's tax accounting balance sheet at
the date of liquidation is as follows:
