Lockhart Corporation is a calendar-year corporation. At the beginning of 2013, its election to be taxed as an S corporation became effective. Lockhart Corp.'s balance sheet at the end of 2012 reflected the following assets (it did not have any earnings and profits from its prior years as a C corporation):

Asset

FMV

Cash

$35,000

$35,000

Accounts receivable

   25,000

  210,000

Land

  120,000

Lockhart's business income for the year was $65,000 (this would have been its taxable income if it were a C corporation).
