Explanation / Answer

Moran bought the building at a price of $198,000 in year 0

He depreciated the building by $50,000 till year 6

Book value of building as on date of sale

= $(198,000 - 50,000)

= $ 148,000

Moran sold the building for $206,000

Gain on sale of building

= $(206,000 - 148,000)

= $ 58,000

The gain is characterized as long term capital gain.
