Answer:
- Melba's adjusted basis for the land at the Acquisition date is $625000
- Melba's adjusted basis for the land one year later is $645000
Explanation:
The adjusted basis for a property/land is the net cost of the property after adjusting for factors that might attract tax as related to the land
The adjusted basis for the land at the acquisition date is the net cost of the land at the acquisition date which will be ( $225000 + $400000 ) because that was the net cost of the Land at the date of acquisition before an agreement was later reached by Melba requiring him to pay $400000 plus an interest of 5%
Hence the adjusted basis for the land one year later will be
= ( $225000 + $400000 ) + 5% of $400000
= ( $625000 ) + $20000
= $645000

Answer:
$11,200
Explanation:
As not mentioned in the account. It is Assumed that the Larry and Bird are related parties and Bird made a sale at a transfer price of $40,000 with $24,000 cost of inventory.
Bird can only recognize the equity up to the ratio of inventory used or sold by the related party.
As 30% was not consumed then consumption will be 70%, so 70% of the income is realized and it will be recorded.
Equity Income = $40,000 - $24,000 = $16,000
Realized Equity income = $16,000 x 70% = $11,200
