Answer:

Truck = Short term capital loss of $8,000

Land = Long term capital gain of $320,000

Machine = Long term capital loss of $125,000

Building = Long term capital gain of $125,000

Net effect Long term capital gain of $125,000

And Short Term Capital Loss of $8,000

Explanation:

As for the provided information we have,

Sale of Trucks within a few months, as purchased in March and sold in June, therefore,

Sale price - Carrying value = $70,000 - $78,000 = -$8,000

Therefore, it is short term capital loss

Sale of land which is 5 years old, therefore, it will be long term.

Sales price - Carrying value = $400,000 - $80,000 = $320,000

Long term capital gain = $320,000

Machines are old and now depreciated, thus it will be long term

Sale price - carrying value = $75,000 - $200,000 = - $125,000 Long term capital loss

Building purchased 8 years ago will be long term in nature, therefore,

Sale price - carrying adjusted basis = $425,000 - $300,000 = $125,000 Long term capital gain.

Final Answer

Truck = Short term capital loss of $8,000

Land = Long term capital gain of $320,000

Machine = Long term capital loss of $125,000

Building = Long term capital gain of $125,000

Net effect Long term capital gain of $125,000

And Short Term Capital Loss of $8,000
