Question

In year 0, Javens Inc. sold machinery with a fair market value of $450,000 to Chris. The machinery’s original basis was $355,500 and Javens’s accumulated depreciation on the machinery was $55,000, so its adjusted basis to Javens was $300,500. Chris paid Javens $45,000 immediately (in year 0) and provided a note to Javens indicating that Chris would pay Javens $67,500 a year for six years beginning in year 1. What is the amount and character of the gain that Javens will recognize in year 0? What amount and character of the gain will Javens recognize in years 1 through 6?
