Answer:

Distinctive competence

Explanation:                  

Distinctive ability relates to a certain market trait which it does differently than its rivals. Since the company can do more than most other companies, it has a competitive edge over all other companies.

An organization's competitors cannot imitate this competence (at least in the short term), allowing an organization to gain an advantage over others. An organization must protect its distinctive competence to retain its competitive edge.

Thus, from the above we can conclude that the given case illustrates distinctive competence.

Pam exchanges a rental building, which has an adjusted basis of $520,000, for investment land which has a fair market value of $
kompoz [17]

Answer: Option "d" $280000 and $700000.

Explanation:

Option “d” is correct because the recognized gain is $280,000.  Pam exchanges a building that has adjusted worth $520000 for the land which has a value of $700000. Thus, at this point, Pam is making a profit of (700000 - 520000) = $180,000. Moreover, he receives additional cash of $100,000. So, total gain by Pam is $180,000 + $100000 = $280,000. However, the tax basis of land refers to the fair market value at which it was acquired. So, it will be $700000.
