Task

I. Biome Startup, Inc. (BS) is dedicated to improving the world's soil health - one farm at a time. BS implements AI technology in the science of soil management and crop production to create a virtual assistant that is able to help farmers increase crop yields and quality. BS is looking to acquire new plant facilities. BS learns that Farmer's Co-op Corporation (Co-op) has just the plant it's looking for. The Co-op recently closed its operation when the agri-businesses took over the market and Co-op no longer has any goodwill or going concern value. Co-op's basis in the plant is $20,000. On January 1, BS acquired 50% of Co-op's stock for $300,000 in cash. The fair market value of the plant on January 1 was $400,000. Co-op's other assets at that time had a basis of $50,000 and a fair market value of $200,000. On July 1, BS acquired the remaining 50% of the Co-op stock for $300,000 in cash. The value of Co-op's assets had not changed between January 1 and July 1. What are the tax consequences to BS, Co-op, Co-op's shareholders if P makes no §338 election?
