The recognized gain isS Requirement c. What is Perry's basis for the building received? Perry's basis for the building received is S

Explanation / Answer

a. Realized Gain = [ FMV of D's building - Liability] - Adjusted Basis of P's Building

= [975,000 - 300,000 ] - 360,000

= $315,000

b. The recognized gain is 0 since fair value of the asset exchanged is the same [ 675,000 - 360,000 = 315,000]

c. Adjusted Basis = $675,000 - $ 315,000 = $360,000
