Same as Part Two (a), except Ginger did not participate in the original transaction. Ginger's acquisition occurred sometime later and was not contemplated in the original incorporation. Does this change the result? How? Explain.

Same as Part Three (a), except that the mortgage was taken out by Jack about a month ago to I purchase a new BMW. Does this change the result? How? Explain.

Same as Part Three (a), except that the Jack's adjusted basis in the land and building was only $40,000. Does this change the result? How? Explain.
