Mrs. Oliver is negotiating to purchase a tract of land from DC Company, a calendar year taxpayer. DC bought this land six years ago for $480,000. According to a recent appraisal, the land is worth $800,000 in the current real estate market. According to DC’s director of tax, the company’s profit on the sale will be taxed at 35 percent if the sale occurs this year. However, this tax rate will definitely decrease to 21 percent if the sale occurs next year. Mrs. Oliver is aware that DC would prefer the sale close next year. However, Mrs. Oliver needs the land immediately to begin construction of a new retail outlet. She offers to pay $875,000 for the land with the stipulation that the sale close by December 31.
Required:
Calculate the amount of after-tax cash for the each of the following alternatives.
Should DC accept Mrs. Oliver’s offer?
