On january 1, year 1, dave received 1,000 shares of restricted stock from his employer, rrk corporation. on that date, the stock price was $7 per share. dave’s restricted shares will vest at the end of year 2. he intends to hold the shares until the end of year 4 when he intends to sell them to fund the purchase of a new home. dave predicts the share price of rrk will be $30 per share when his shares vest and will be $40 per share when he sells them. (leave no answer blank. enter zero if applicable. input all amounts as positive values.) problem 12-33 part b b. if dave’s stock price predictions are correct, what are the tax consequences of these transactions to rrk?

Taxes on January 1, year 1= $1400

Taxes on Dec 31, year 4=$3300

Explanation:

The question relates to 'EQUITY GRANT', which is some sort of compensation given to somebody, especially/specifically to employees of an entity provided that certain conditions/vesting requirements are satisfied by the employee.

Now on January 1, year 1 Dave has received 1000 shares, for him the shares received is treated is income for Dave, as the shares are being offered against certain services rendered by Dave to RRK corporation. So on January 1 Dave would record income and pay income tax as follows:

Value of shares on Jan 1/ income= 1000×$7

Value of shares on Jan 1/ income= $7000

Lets assume income tax is 20% and marginal tax rate is 10%, the tax consequences would be as follows:

TAXES = $7000×20%

TAXES = $1400

There will be no tax consequences at the vesting date and at the end of year 4 (the date when he sells them) there will be tax consequences of $4000.

At year 4 = 1000×$40

Amount realized= $40000 -$7000

Taxes at marginal rate= $33000×10%

Taxes at marginal rate= $3300

(Note: $7000 is subtracted because it's already present in $40000).
