Gera owns 25,000 shares of Flow Corporation's common stock, for which she paid $250,000. The other 5,000 shares belong to Gera's brother, Earl, which he purchased for $50,000. Wanting to expand a few years ago, Flow sold $200,000 in bonds to Earl. The expansion has paid off and Flow now can afford to redeem 50% of Earl's bonds.
Rather than have the bond redeemed, Earl would prefer to receive 100 shares of preferred stock for the $100,000 in bonds. At the same time, Gera would like to also own preferred stock, so she turns in 5,000 shares of her common stock in exchange for 100 shares of preferred stock and 5,000 shares of her common for a $100,000 bond. Gera and Earl then each will hold 100 shares of preferred and $100,000 in bonds. Gera still owns 15,000 shares of common and Earl owns 5,000 shares of common.
The common stock is valued at $20 per share the day before the preferred is issued. The preferred shares are valued at $1,000 each. State the type of reorganization, if any, for which these transactions qualify. What is the amount of gain or loss that Gera and Earl recognize on these transactions?
