(1) In order to acquire Property #1, Holly transfers $50,000 of cash to George. In addition, Holly takes Property #1 subject to an existing $63,000 mortgage, gives George her own promissory note in the amount of $75,000 and a Corvette with a FMV of $47,000 and an adjusted basis in Holly’s hands of $40,000
If George had originally purchased Property #1 for $100,000, what is the amount of gain that he should recognize?
Particulars | Amount |
Cash received | 50,000 |
Mortgage relief | 63,000 |
Promissory note received | 75,000 |
FMV of corvette | 47,000 |
Amount realized | 235,000 |
Gain on sale = 235,000 amount realized - 100,000 cost = 135,000
