Betty, whose tax rate is 32%, is in the business of breeding and racing horses. Except for the transactions below, she has no other sales or exchanges and she has no unrecaptured net Sec. 1231 losses. Consider the following transactions that occur during the year:

• A building with an adjusted basis of \($300,000\) is destroyed by fire. Insurance proceeds of \($500,000\) are received, but Betty does not plan to replace the building. The building was built 12 years ago at a cost of \($430,000\) and used to provide lodging for her employees. Straight-line depreciation has been used.

• Four acres of the farm are condemned by the state to widen the highway and Betty receives \($50,000.\) The land was inherited from her mother 15 years ago when its FMV was \($15,000.\) Her mother purchased the land for \($10,300.\) Betty does not plan to purchase additional land.

• A racehorse purchased four years ago for \($200,000\) was sold for \($550,000.\) Total depreciation allowed using the straight-line method amounts to \($160,000\).

• Equipment purchased three years ago for \($200,000\) is exchanged for \($100,000\) of IBM common stock. The adjusted basis of the equipment is \($120,000.\) If straight-line depreciation had been used, the adjusted basis would be \($152,000\).

• An uninsured pony, with an adjusted basis of \($20,000\) and FMV of \($35,000,\) that her daughter uses only for personal use is injured while attempting a jump. Because of the injury, the uninsured pony has to be destroyed by a veterinarian.
