Five years ago in June, X declared a one for one dividend payable in pure preferred stock (paying 6% cumulative dividend on its par value, which equaled its then $100 FMV). The value of the common stock after the distribution was $400 per share. In that year, X had accumulated E&P of $13,000 and current E&P of $3,000. In the current year, X has accumulated E&P of $28,000 and current E&P of $2,000. What are the tax consequences of the disposition described in each situation?
