Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the amount and character of the gain recorded is shown below:
1. Recognized gain would be
= Sales - the cost of the property - recovery cost
= $1,200,000 - $1,000,000 - $411,750
= $611,750
2. Now as per the section 1245 the potential recapture is $411,750
3. Now extra section 291 ordinary income in the case when it is a corporation
= $411,750 ×20%
= $82,350
4. And finally $82,350 would be considered as an ordinary income under section 291 while the remaining balance i.e.
= $611,750 - $82,350
= $529,400
This amount would be considered as a gain under section 1231

Answer:
$1,500
Explanation:
Investment interest expenses = Interest Income + Non qualifying dividends
Investment interest expenses = $500 + $1,000
Investment interest expenses = $1,500
$1,500 < $2,500 (Investment interest expenses)
The long term capital gains are not considered in investment income because this income is taxed at a preferential rate. Hence, the Investment interest expenses deduction for the year is $1,500.
