1. Determine the taxpayers gross income for tax purposes in each of the following situations:
   1. Deb, a cash basis taxpayer, traded a corporate bond with accrued interest of $300 for corporate stock with a fair market value of $12,000 at the time of the exchange. Debs cost of the bond was $10,000. The value of the stock had decreased to $11,000 by the end of the year.
   2. Deb needed $10,000 to make a down payment on her house. She instructed her broker to sell some stock to raise the $10,000. Debs cost of the stock was $3,000. Based on her brokers advice, instead of selling the stock, she borrowed the $10,000 using the stock as collateral for the debt.
   3. Debs boss gave her two concerts tickets because Deb has met her sales quota. At the time Deb received the tickets, each ticket has a face price of $200 and was selling on eBay for $300 each. On the day of the concert, the tickets were selling for $250 each. Deb and her son attended the concert.
