               6 Petitioner’s common stock value and retained earnings were           
          reported on its Forms 1120, Schedules L for the fiscal years at             
          issue.                                                                      
               Because of the spinoffs, the value of petitioner’s common              
          stock was reduced from $3,000 to $2,770.                                    
               Petitioner’s equity was computed by adding petitioner’s end-           
          of-year common stock value to its end-of-year retained earnings.            
          Rate of return on equity is computed by dividing petitioner’s net           
          income per books by its equity for the respective fiscal years at           
          issue.
