During year 1, albrecht sold his personal sport plane that had an adjusted basis to him of $112,000 to roy for $140,000. roy paid $40,000 as a down payment and agreed to pay $20,000 per year plus interest for the next 5 years. what is the amount of gain to be included in albrecht’s gross income for year 1?

$8000

Explanation:

Given that:

Adjusted basis of sport plane = $112,000

Sales price = $140,000

Down payment = $40,000

Balance paid in $20,000 installment for the nest 5 years

Gross income:

Gross income = sales price - adjusted basis

Gross income = $140,000 - $112,000

Gross income = $28,000

Based on the installment payment of $20,000:

140,000/20,000 = 7

Gross income = $28000/ 7 = $4000

With down payment being 40,000

In year 1, down payment of $40,000 was made, which is 2 times the yearly installment amount.

Hence gross profit in year 1 = $4000 × 2 = $8000

answer; i believe that the correct answer is (d); the business benefits because owners can share responsibilities;

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
