Questiоn 3а: Deferred Cоmpensаtiоn- Restricted Stock Emily’s employer, Billboаrd Inc, grants her a restricted stock package as additional compensation for her outstanding performance in 20x2. The terms of the package are as follows: Emily is granted 100 shares of Billboard common stock on January 1, 20x3 at no cost to Emily. At the time of the grant, Billboard stock was trading at $35 per share. The shares are non-vested and non-transferable until January 1, 20x7. Forecasting models predict that the stock price will increase to $50 per share by 20x7, but will reach $60 per share in 20x8. Emily predicts that she would likely wait until 20x8 to sell if the stock price is still rising. Assume Emily is currently in the 22% ordinary tax bracket, but she expects to be in the 32% bracket in 20x7. Her current and future capital gains rate is/will be 15%. Because interest rates are currently high, any taxes due will be paid out of pocket (Emily will not take out any loans). a) Assuming the forecasting models are accurate, calculate Emily’s tax liability in years 20x3, 20x7, and 20x8 if she does not make the 83(b) election.
