Answer 1

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given point:

Explanation:

In point a:

Sum of:

= ($89,000 + $3,000)

= $92,000  

Modified foundation= -$80,000  

A real profit= $12,000  

Gain (boot received) recognised = $3,000  

Tanya's West Coast Changed Base:  

Fair Market  = $89,000  

Posted benefit:

= ($ 12,000- $ 3,000)

=  $ 9,000  

Adjusted Base =$80,000  

In part b:

Realized benefit calculation:  

Sum of =  $92,000

Modified Base =$72,000 + $3,000 = $75,000  

A real profit= $17,000    

gain was accepted = $0  

Changed base of Martin to the West Coast:  

Fair Market = $92,000  

Gain deferred  = ($17,000-$0) = $ 17,000  

Adjusted Base  = $75,000

In point c:

Recognized benefit from Martin:  

Value = $1,20,000  

Base adjusted= $ 75,000  

actual gain = $45,000  

Gain  Recognized= $45,000

In point d:

Tanya has little effect mostly on selling by Lisa of an eastern seaboard ground. There is no supposed selling care among Lauren and Tanya after selling property on the eastern seaboard since they are unrelated parties.

In point e:

sum of = $92,000.

Tanya 's acceptable basis is $80,000 ($89,000-($12,000-$3,000)).

actual benefit = $ 12,000  

gain benefit = $3,000  

Since the trade is deemed a non-taxable trade, $3,000 is recognized of the total $12,000 benefit. Its ground earned is $80,000 adjusted.
