Firm ML, a noncorporate taxpayer, exchanged residential rental property for 20 acres of investment land with a $200,000 FMV. ML used the straight-line method to compute depreciation on the rental property. Assume that ML exchanged the residential rental property for the 20 acres of investment land plus $22,000 (i. e., ML received cash in the exchange).

a. $222,000

b. $22,000

c. $158,000

Explanation:

a. FMV of rental property =  FMV of land received + Received cash

= $200,000 + $22,000

= $222,000

b. FMV of land received       $200,000

Cash boot received                $22,000

Less: Basis of rental property $158,000

Realized gain                           $64,000

Recognized gain (Boot)          $22,000

this transaction qualify for a like-kind exchange under section 1031  When no gain or loss is recognized on an exchange but on Boot received. But recognized gain will be lower of boot amount of realized gain.

c. Carryover basis of original assets =  FMV of rental property - Realized gain

= $222,000 -  $64,000

= $158,000

i believe that it is a 45% chance.

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
