Parrain

Answer:

Recognized Gain:

= Selling price - Net book value

= 230,000 - (150,000 - 40,000)

= $120,000

The amount of the gain that is unrecaptured Section 1250 gain:

= Selling Price - Cost of asset - Accumulated depreciation

= 230,000 - 150,000 - 40,000

= $40,000

Tax will be maximum rate of 25% as per IRS rules.

The cash to be charged at maximum of 20% is:

= Gain - Section 1250 gain

= 120,000 - 40,000

= $80,000
