Rondo and his business associate, Larry, are considering forming a business entity called R&L but they are unsure about whether to form it as a C corporation, an S corporation, or an LLC taxed as a partnership. Rondo and Larry would each invest $220,000 in the business. Thus, each owner would take an initial basis in his ownership interest of $220,000 no matter which entity type is formed. Shortly after the formation of the entity, the business borrowed $64,000 from the bank. If applicable, this debt will be shared equally between the two owners.
a. After taking the loan into account, what is Rondo's tax basis in his R&L stock if R&L is formed as a C corporation?
