a. What is Julio's realized gain on the warehouse?
b. what is Julio's realized gain on the warehouse?
c. What is Julio's new basis in the land he just acquired?
a. Calculation of Julio's Gain on the Warehouse (§1231 trade or business property)
FMV of Asset Received in Return = $75000
Basis in the Warehouse( Asset Exchanged) = $40000
Realized Gain (FMV - Basis) = $35000
b. Same as a. above( SAME QUESTION). Recognized gain would be NIL as no Cash Proceeds have been received and Realized Gain is deferred.
c. Julio's new Basis in the land just acquired would be $40000 same as of the current Asset FMV since there is No Recognized Gain. No taxable gain have been realized.
