Moss exchanges a warehouse for a building he will use as an office building. The adjusted basis of the warehouse is $ 600,000 and the fair market value of the office building is $360,000. In addition, Moss receives cash of $ 150,000. What is the recognized gain or loss and the basis of the office building

Moss

The recognized loss and the basis of the office building are:

Recognized loss = $90,000

Basis of office building = $360,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Adjusted basis of warehouse = $600,000

Fair market value of the office building = $360,000

Cash received in exchange = $150,000

Total value of assets received in exchange of the warehouse = $510,000 ($360,000 + $150,000)

Recognized loss = $90,000 ($600,000 - $510,000).

b) From the above transactions, Moss will recognize a loss of $90,000.  This is the difference between the adjusted basis of the warehouse and the fair market value of the office building and the cash that Moss received in exchange for the warehouse.
