Sagot :

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The amount and the character of the gain or loss is

Sale value of the property $550,000

Less: (Purchase value - depreciation) $400,000

Total gain recognized $150,000

Ordinary income recapture is $100,000

remaining 1231 gain or loss $50,000

b.

Section 1231 Gain = $50,000

, Rate of tax on $100,000 i.e. 32% = $32000

Rate of tax on $50000 i.e. 15% = $7500

So,

The Total tax liability is

= $32,000 + $7,500

= $39,500
