Answer:

Ordinary Income of $214,000 from collecting cash basis accounts receivable

Ordinary Income of $7,000 from sale of Inventory.

Explanation:

a. Adjusted basis of Accounts receivable = $0

Fair Market Value of Accounts Receivable = $214,000

Cash realized from Accounts Receivable = $214,000

Ordinary Income from collecting cash basis accounts receivable = $214,000

It is ordinary income since the Accounts receivable are taxed only after they are collected.

b. Adjusted basis of Inventory = $19,000

Fair Market Value of Inventory = $26,000

Cash realized from sale of Inventory = $26,000

Ordinary Income from sale of Inventory = Cash received from sale - Adjusted basis = $26,000 - $19,000  = $7,000

It is ordinary income since the Inventory only recognizes the adjusted basis i.e. the amount paid for inventory and any income recognized on sale of inventory is taxed accordingly.
