(5) Realized Gain = $30,000 Recognized Gain = $10,000 (80,000 + 10,000 - 60,000) (10,000 boot received is less than realized gain) 2) Pamela owns land for investment purposes. The land is worth $300,000 (basis of $260,000 to Pamela). Pamela exchanges the land, plus $20,000 cash, for a warehouse to be used in her business. The FMV of the warehouse is $400,000, but the warehouse is subject to a mortgage of $80,000, which is assumed by Pamela. Pamela must recognize a gain of?

In addition, the other party assumes the mortgage which will be held for investment. Glen must recognize a gain of? (10) Realized Gain = $80,000 Recognized Gain = $50,000 (150,000 + 10,000 + 40,000 - 120,000) (Boot = 10,000 cash and 40,000 liability assumed) 4) Laurie owns land held for investment. The land's FMV is $150,000. Laurie's basis in the land is $130,000. Laurie exchanges the land, plus $20,000 of cash, for a warehouse owned by Trey. The warehouse is worth $210,000, but is subject to a mortgage of $40,000 which Laurie will assume. Trey's basis in the warehouse is $120,000. Laurie's basis in the warehouse received will be? (5) Unrecognized Gain = $20,000 (210,000 - 40,000 - 20,000 -130,000) Basis in warehouse = $190,000 (210,000 - 20,000) 5) Stephanie's building, which was used in her business, was destroyed in a fire.
