In forming Parts Incorporated as a corporation, Candice transferred inventory to Parts Incorporated in exchange for 30 percent of the corporation's stock (60 shares valued at $130,000). The inventory's fair market value was $147,000 and its tax basis to Candice was $75,000. The inventory was subject to a $17,000 liability that Parts Incorporated assumed on the transfer.

Note: Leave no answer blank. Enter zero if applicable. Required: a. Assuming the transfer qualifies under §351 and that the liability has a tax-avoidance purpose, what gain or loss will Candice recognize on the transfer? b. Assuming the original facts, what is Candice's basis in the stock received in the exchange? c. Suppose the liability does not have a tax-avoidance purpose. What gain will Candice recognize on the transfer? d. Suppose the liability does not have a tax-avoidance purpose, what is Candice's basis in the stock received in the exchange?
