Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. How much gain must Apricot recognize?
Mortgage payable: 135,000
Less: Basis of transferred asset:
Cash: 10,000
Building: 12000
Gains recognized = 135,000 - (120,000 + 10,000)
= 135,000 - 130,000
= $5,000
b. What is Apricot's basis in the stock she receives?
This will be:
Cash: 10,000
Building: 120,000
Total = 120,000 + 10,000
= $130,000
c. What is Strawberry Corporation's basis in the building?
Thus will be the addition of Apricot's basis in the building and the gains recognized. This will be:
= 120,000 + 5000
= $125,000
