Answer:

That is $2,000 loss

Explanation:

After the hurricane Oscar received $140,000 for his loss, the adjusted basis for his property was $130,000 so he had a gain of 140,000- 130,000=$10,000.

According to Sec. 1033(a)(2) since the new property that was built (the replacement) was similar we will recognise the amount received from the insurance company ($140,000) to the extent that it pays for the replacement property.

That is

Gain or loss = amount paid by insurance company- cost of replacement property

Gain or loss= 140,000- 142,000

Gain or loss= -$2,000

That is $2,000 loss
