Rachelle transfers property with a tax basis of $800 and a fair market value of $960 to a corporation in exchange for stock with a fair market value of $765 and $42 in cash in a transaction that qualifies for deferral under section 351. The corporation assumed a liability of $153 on the property transferred. What is the corporation's tax basis in the property received in the exchange

$842

corporation's tax basis = Fair market value + Transaction

= $800 + $42

= $842
