Question

Anya owns land with an adjusted basis of $305,000, subject to a mortgage of $175,000. Anya sells her land subject to the mortgage for $325,000 in cash, and a note for $300,000. What is Anya's amount realized on this sale

Answer 1

Answer: $800,000

Explanation:

Alice's realized amount from the sale is a sum of all the amounts that the seller gets it for as well as any mortgages assumed.

Alice therefore realized:

= Mortgage assumed by seller + Cash + Note

= 175,000 + 325,000 + 300,000

= $800,000
