J \mathrm{JC} \) has its first year of substantial income in \( 20 \times 6 \). It also sells some of its land for \( \$ 100.000 \) cash, but the sale results in a capital loss. The Board of Directors decides to pay \( \$ 250.000 \) in dividends to its shareholders. This is in addition to the \( \$ 3.500 \) of interest it pays on the bonds and the \( \$ 1,500 \) it pays to Nolan on the money he loaned JJC.
