Jasper Junction Corporation (JJC) is an accrual basis, calendar-year entity that was created by Chao, Iris, and Nolan in 20X1. JJC furnishes the original incorporation agreement. The shareholders' bases in the assets contributed are as follows:

• Cash $150,000
• Equipment $245,000
• Inventory $380,000
• Land and Building $375,000

The first five years of business have been lean years. Nolan had to loan the corporation $75,000 to ensure that JJC had enough cash to pay its bills and its Accumulated Earnings and Profits only amounts to $23,000 at the end of 20X5. JJC has its first year of substantial income in 20X6. It also sells some of its land for $100,000 cash, but the sale results in a capital loss. The Board of Directors decides to pay $250,000 in dividends to its shareholders. This is in addition to the $3,500 of interest it pays on the bonds and the $1,500 it pays to Nolan on the money he loaned JJC. The income and expenses of JJC for 20X6, taxable income, and current E&P are provided in the Table below. Corporate Agreement
