Problem 4-4 Calculation of Gain or Loss (LO 4.3) Jocasta owns an apartment complex that she purchased 6 years ago for $750,000. Jocasta has made $50,000 of capital improvements on the complex, and depreciation claimed on the building to date is $128,700. Calculate Jocasta's adjusted basis in the building.

$671,300

Explanation:

The calculation of adjusted basis in the building is shown below:-

Adjusted basis = Original cost of the property + Cost of capital improvements - Depreciation claimed

= $750,000 + $50,000 - $128,700

= $800,000 - $128,700

= $671,300

Therefore for computing the adjusted basis we simply add original cost of the property with cost of capital improvements and deduct depreciation claimed.
