He sells the property this year for $68,000. a) What is the amount of Adam's gain or loss? b) What is the character of the gain or loss (is it capital gain/loss, section 1231 gain/loss, or ordinary gain/loss)? 9:50 PM O Type here to search 4/30/2018Explanation / Answer
a)
Cost of machinery = 100000
Accumulated depreciation on machinery = 40000
Book value of machinery = 100000 - 40000 = 60000
Sale value of mahinery = 68000
Gain on sale of machinery = Sale value of mahinery - Book value of machinery
= 68000 - 60000 = 8000
b)
The character of gain is 1231 gain because when we dispose of business property, our taxable gain or loss is usually a section 1231 gain or loss.
