N sold a summer cabin to Y for $30,000 in cash and a recreational vehicle (an RV). Y had an adjusted basis in the RV of $15,000 at the time of the sale, although its fair market value was $22,000. N had an adjusted basis in the cabin of $44,000. Assume there were no selling costs. What was N’s realized gain or (loss)? a. ($8,000) b. ($1,000) c. $8,000 d. $10,000
Answer:
Realized gain or loss = Cash received + Fair market value of the property received –
(Cost of the property + Selling expenses)
= 30000+22000 – (44000+0)
= $8000
Realised gain = $8000
