How would your answer to question 4 change if you also assume that (i) the inheritance tax owed on Frederic Kohler’s estate was 50.2% of its holdings in Kohler Co. (equivalent to 489 shares of the 975 he owned); (ii) the taxes paid by the estate amounted to $27 million (489 shares at $55,400 each); (iii) were the settlement or the trial to result in a revised share price in excess of $55,400, the IRS would likely demand a similar valuation for its claim on Frederic’s estate; and (iv) Herbert Kohler estimates the probability of the IRS’s demand at 100% if he proceeds to trial, and 50% if he

On September 6, President McKinley was shot while at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York. Initial reports in the succeeding days suggested his condition was improving, so Roosevelt embarked on a vacation at Mount Marcy in north-eastern New York. He was returning from a climb to the summit on September 13 when a park ranger brought him a telegram informing him that McKinley's condition had deteriorated, and he was near death. Roosevelt and his family immediately departed for Buffalo. When they reached the nearest train station at North Creek, at 5:22 a.m. on September 14, he received another telegram that McKinley had died a few hours earlier.
