- 39 - $215,000,31 multiplying it by Joseph’s ownership interest percentage of 28.3 percent, and then applying a life interest factor of .14123 based on Joseph’s life expectancy. This yielded a life interest value for Joseph of $8,593, which was then subtracted from Cyril’s total control value of $107,880. The estate further adjusted Cyril’s life interest in control value based on the fact that Cyril would have only a minority interest in JM for Joseph’s lifetime. This adjustment was made by taking the values of Cyril’s minority interests in JM common and preferred stock, $60,000 and $10,500, respectively, and applying Joseph’s life interest factor of .14123. This yielded a lifetime minority interest of $9,957, resulting in an adjusted control value of $89,330. Finally, the estate applied Cyril’s life interest factor to the control value because Cyril received control only for his lifetime. In applying a life interest factor of .49587, the estate concluded that Cyril’s life interest in control value was $44,296. The estate then computed the value of Cyril’s 50-percent life interest in Joseph’s stock and added this amount to Cyril’s life interest in control value. The following chart summarizes the estate’s calculations: 31On a minority interest basis, the JM common stock was valued at $146,000 and the JM preferred stock was valued at $69,000.Page: Previous 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 Next
