                    B.  Compensation Paid to Other Employees                                                      
                    Petitioner paid Ferguson at the high end of the compensation                                  
             range.  Petitioner presented no evidence that its other employees                                    
             were compensated at or near the high end of the compensation                                         
             range.  Cf. Home Interiors & Gifts, Inc. v. Commissioner, 73 T.C.                                    
             1142, 1162 (1980).  This factor favors respondent.                                                   
                    Based on the factors outlined above, we conclude that                                         
             $650,000, $700,000, and $850,000 represent a reasonable amount of                                    
             compensation to Ferguson for petitioner's fiscal years ending                                        
             1990, 1991, and 1992, respectively.                                                                  
                    To reflect the foregoing,                                                                     
                                                                   Decision will be entered                       
                                                            under Rule 155.
