[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Zhang incorporated her sole proprietorship by transferring inventory, a building, and land to the corporation in return for 100 percent of the corporations stock. The property transferred to the corporation had the following fair market values and adjusted tax bases:

	FMV	Adjusted Tax Basis
Inventory	$ 20,000	$ 10,000
Building	150,000	100,000
Land	230,000	300,000
Total	$ 400,000	$ 410,000

The corporation also assumed a mortgage of $100,000 attached to the building and land. The fair market value of the corporations stock received in the exchange was $300,000. The transaction met the requirements to be tax-deferred under 351. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Leave no answer blank. Enter zero if applicable.)

Assume the corporation assumed a mortgage of $500,000 attached to the building and land. Assume the fair market value of the building is now $250,000 and the fair market value of the land is $530,000. The fair market value of the stock remains $300,000.

f. What is Zhangs tax basis in the stock she receives in the exchange?
