Nat is a salesman for a real estate developer. His employer permits him to purchase a lot for $75,000. The employer's adjusted basis for the lot is $45,000, and its normal selling price is $90,000. What is Nat's recognized gain and his basis for the lot

Recognized gain = $15,000

Basis for lot = $90,000

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

Purchase amount = $75,000

Adjusted basis = $45,000

Normal selling price = $90,000

So, Recognized gain = Normal selling price - Purchase amount

By putting the value, we get

Recognized gain = $90,000 - $75,000

= $15,000

Now, Basis for lot = Purchase amount + Recognized gain

= $75,000 + $15,000

= $90,000

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
