Guest Ira Hayes Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 A carrier has found a willing buyer for a block of COLI business. What basis is used to calculate the carrier's gain on sale of the block? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBurns Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 How could a sale price have been set without knowing this? Or am I not understanding the question especially the term "basis" as you use it ? I would have thought that in order to establish the sale price, basis (as in costs) would have had to be calculated first. Gain on sale would be the amount received over basis minus the costs of doing the transaction etc. Basis (as in costs) should be already on the "books" since this block has been an asset for some time. How else could they have been carrying the block ? George D.
