Answer:
D) $40,000
Explanation:
The Joneses qualify for a Section 121 exemption since they lived at their house for 20 years. They are exempted from paying capital gains taxes on the first $500,000 ($250,000 if single) in realized gains from selling their home.
Joneses taxable gain = $750,000 (sales price) - $210,000 (basis) - $500,000 (section 121) = $40,000
They will have to recognize only $40,000 in gains.

Explanation:
Discount rate = R = 14.50%
Year Cash flows Discount factor PV of cash flows
1 218,000.00 0.873362 190,393.0131
2 224,000.00 0.762762 170,858.6793
3 238,000.00 0.666168 <u>158,547.9011</u>
Total of PV = NPV = <u> $519,799.59</u>
<u />
Note:
Df = 1/(1+R)^Year
PV of cash flows = Cash flows x Df
