Other Information
You are the sole shareholder of Acme Corporation.

Please note that the financial statements have already been issued using the information above and will not be amended.

You formed Acme by contributing $30,000 to the corporation in return for 1 share of stock on 6/30/06. You named yourself to the role of President and every other officer position. Your Acme salary for the year 2006 was $80,000. Running Acme is your full time job.

On 7/1/06, you contributed a lawnmower purchased by you for $10,000 on 1/1/06. It is 5 year property for depreciation purposes. Until July 1, the lawnmower was used only for your lawn. Accordingly, no depreciation was taken on it. The fair market value of the mower was $40,000 on July 1. On the Acme books, straight line depreciation was used. For tax purposes, you will accelerate depreciation by using MACRS depreciation for a 5 year asset.

Acme also received a 2006 K-1 for a partnership it owned during the year. The K-1 showed ordinary income of $8,000 and interest income of $16,000. No partnership income was shown on the financial statements.

Acme owns less than 1% of GM stock outstanding.

Sorry, I do not normally help with homework assignments, as it defeats purpose of the schooling to begin with.
