Problem 1: Paris Corporation, a calendar year taxpayer, has been an S corporation for several years. Derek and Dawn each own 50% of Paris's stock. On September 1 of the current year (assume a non- leap year), Paris issues additional common stock to Berlin Corporation for cash. Derek, Dawn, and Berlin each end up owning one- third of Paris's stock. Paris reports ordinary income of $ 250,000 and a short- term capital loss of $ 30,000 in the current year. Eighty percent of the ordinary income and all the capital loss accrue after Berlin purchases its stock. Paris makes no distributions to its shareholders in the current year. What income and losses do Paris, Berlin, Derek, and Dawn report as a result of the current year's activities? If there is more than one possible method, discuss both methods.
