Donald Petersen joined his father, William Petersen, in a chicken hatchery business William had previously operated as a sole proprietorship. When the partnership was formed, William contributed the assets of the proprietorship, which included cash, equipment, and inventory having a total value of $41,000. Donald contributed nothing. They agreed to share the profits equally. For fifteen years, Donald took over the operation of the hatchery with very little help from his father. When the business was terminated, William contended that he was entitled to the return of his capital investment of $41,000 before Donald could recover anything. Donald asserted that he is entitled to one-half the value of the business. Explain who is correct in his contention.

- Levi-Sensei (Sensei) owns a piece of land with structures built on it. Sensei, with his wife and children, exchanged the properties for stocks in LeeOppa Incorporated, which is basically owned and managed by Sensei and his family only. Some few years after, Levi-Sensei died. Somehow through an "anonymous tip" submitted to it, BIR discovered about these properties and it went after Levi-Sensei's estate for evading payment of estate tax for the said properties. Sensei's daughter as the administratrix of his father's estate argued against the BIR that the said properties are not subject to estate tax because they are owned by LeeOppa Inc. which has a distinct personality from that of his deceased father. Besides, a corporation cannot die and thus cannot be subjected to estate tax. Was there tax evasion? Explain.arrow_forwardPeter and his wife, Alice, own all the stock of Galleon Corporation.
