Beech Corporation, an accrual basis taxpayer, was organized and began business on July 1 of the current calendar tax year. During the current year, the corporation incurred the following expenses:

State fees for incorporation .............................................................$ 500

Legal and accounting fees incident to organization .....................1,800

Expenses for the sale of stock ........................................................ 2,100
