Fred and Sarajane exchanged land in a qualifying like-kind exchange. Fred gives up land with an adjusted basis of $11,000 (fair market value of $16,000) in exchange for Sarajane's land with a fair market value of $12,000 plus $4,000 cash. How much gain should Fred recognize on the exchange?
a.$5,000
b.$1,000
c.$0
d.$4,000
e.None of these choices are correct
Answer: |
Given data, Fair market value of land = $12,000 + $4,000 = $16,000 |
Give up value of land = $11,000 |
Fred recognise on the exchange = Fair market value of land (-) Give up value = $16,000 (-) $11,000 = $5,000 |
Fred recognise on the exchange = $5,000 |
Option (a) is correct - $5,000 |
