Answer 1

Answer:

$150000

Solution

The first step to take is to calculate the recognized gain.

the outside basis = $100,000

Cash =$10,000

The fair market value of the boot manufacturing company is = $260,000

Now,

The Recognized gain is stated as follows:

The  Fair Market Value - (Outside Basis + Cash)

= $260000 - ($100000 + $10000)

Therefore her calculated gain is $150000
